About 4 years ago, actually just as I had met my current boyfriend, I decided to experiment a little more with my hair. I used to always dye my own hair you see, but this time I thought it might be fun to try the natural and supposedly more gentle hair dye with Henna, a natural vegetable derived substance that colors hair by naturally depositing concentrated color particles derived from an herbal plant into your hair.
Well, first off, I made a complete mess of my shower with this stuff. I know hair dye stains showers sometimes if you don’t wash it off right away, and many times it can look like someone bled to death in your shower when you’re done, but the Henna hair dye was just ridiculous.
It stained my entire shower black – not brown, but black, and it was really tough to get off. Not only that, but my hair turned out a black, if not almost horrible grey color – especially at the ends which started off lighter to begin with.
I had to go around with my hair up in a bun for about a month, and eventually decided to get the damaged grey-looking ends chopped off – about three inches of hair, down the drain for no reason. My experience with Henna hair dye was not good. Anyone else had terrible experiences with this natural dye?
