    Pap, I LOVE your hair. Tell me what you used.....I need to do summink with mine :o

    I used Lush henna, the marron to be exact. It looks really hard to do but its simple. Quite cheap really as I only used about 3 blocks (inc strand test). think you would only need 2 for a top up etc. I love it but may look into other hennas too :D

    Yours looks gorgeous. I wonder if it would cover grey - DH said he could see mine glistening in the sunshine at weekend :(
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    It covers grey easily according to the Lush forums. I would guess when you do a strand test you should include some greys too. If you decide to do it and don't like it you can always dye ontop, but only darker not lighter :o

    I think I'll give it a go. I did henna many years ago - looked like mushy peas going on, but loved the result. I certainly need to do something, and cant afford a professional job :cool:

    Having already mistaken sarcasm for terror from Buffy, I now have no idea of who is being sarcastic and who isn't :rotfl:

    Hi All :wave:

    The bad news is I have crazy work driving again this week (last week only bearable as had booked 1d of leave).

    The good news is my tutor says I have done enough work to just need to get the wordcount down and I can hand it in. The only problem is I have 13,000+words and a 11,000 word limit so lots to cut.

    Don't know how to feel. Am all at sixes and sevens.

    Missed you Butti :)


    I "forgot" I was studying a MA............like seriously I really did completely not think of it.

    huge essay is due in on the 18th.

    Hilarious.

    Me too. Off to find out where I can get some :D

    Yes, it did smell like earthy tea, but much better than the chemical stuff.
