Henna Update

I did it and my hair is not green! I consider that a raving success. Since I was a raving insomniac last night I decided to be a productive one so I applied the henna at 4am then cleaned did the dishes and prepped Das' morning coffee. I put a bit of warm water in my mixture that was up until then all lemon juice and lemon lime mixture with 2 tablespoons of ginger to cut the henna scent.  It looked like green mud but I did not let that deter me I started in the front since I wasn't sure there was enough for all my hair (there wasn't) and I particularly wanted to get the grey in the front. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to get a picture of myself all green headed but alas I didn't. After sitting for 4 hrs with a plastic wrapped head I spent about 45 minutes rinsing and conditioning my hair then showering and discovered that my hair is really soft and my grey is mostly copper colored now. I thought the rest was pretty dark, like a coffee with the barest hint of cream dark but when I went outside after a few hours no longer sopping but still damp I found my hair is a reddish brown in the sun. I guess it took on more color since it was somewhat sun bleached. and now...pictures! Two befores, one during, two fresh out the shower, and two out in the sun with damp not soaked hair.
