I dyed my hair with henna last week. I had 2nd thought at first because I’ve never used it on my hair before, plus it smells. But I remember my granny put it on my palms when I was little. I loved it back then. Things are a bit different now when you grow older. My mom and mimi didn’t like the idea. I had my mind fixed.

My co-workers suggested I do it at the salon because it can get quite messy at home. I thank God I took their advice on this. It all went well. I liked the hair colour. I got back home and showered, but as soon as I shampooed my hair the water would not run clear. I shampooed about 4 times, still the same. I had to towel dry it in the end. It didn’t stop at this it would continue to drip henna every time I showered.

It’s been a week since I dyed it and still the water doesn’t come out clear, though it’s not as bad as the first day. My co-workers told me it was wrong to shampoo on the 1st day because it takes away the goodness of henna. I’m not sure I can do this. Anyways, this won’t stop me from dying my hair with henna again, at least I know what to expect next time. Plus it smells on the 1st and 2nd day only, so the smell is not as bad as I thought.
