Hair

Last week I got my hair cut for the first time in possibly two years. I tend to procrastinate about getting this done but I don’t think I’ve ever let it go quite that long. Apparently I only had about an inch of split ends and the hairdresser was amazed when I told her it had been at least a year and a half since my last cut. She said I must be doing something right to keep it in such good condition. I’m not sure what has kept it from getting bad but it later occurred to me that I don’t use a hair dryer, which might be the key. Anyway, it is still pretty long but I think about two or three inches eventually came off.

The second part of my hair change is the henna treatment I did today. I specifically waited until after the cut so there would be less to cover but it still was a lot. I’d done this for the first time a couple months ago and it went pretty well for my first time using it. It brightens up my hair into a reddish-brown (auburn is the official color) and makes my grey hair go a bit blondish, which I find interesting. It mostly just looks like I’ve streaked my hair a bit. The best part is it will eventually fade and I don’t have to touch up roots or do another treatment if I don’t want to.
