Real People, Real Henna: "Paula H."![]() Paula's naturally blonde hair, after henna 100grams Ancient Sunrise (www.mehandi.com ) henna mixed with a mildly acidic liquid. I mixed everything together in a plastic container, adding enough mildly acidic liquiduntil it had the consistency of yogurt, covered it with a lid and let it set overnight. I used a cooking basting brush to put the mix in my hair, wrapped my head in plastic wrap, then a towel. I kept the mix on for 2 1/2 hours. It does take some patience to get the henna out, but the results are well worth it! This picture was taken on the 3rd day after I had my henna experience and as you can see the color is a bright copper/orange with golden highlights. It was a little of a shock when I first saw it because I was used to bland blonde and this is va-va-va-voom red! I absolutely love it and my boyfriend does too!
