Posted on January 23, 2012 by

It is well past time for me to henna again. If I am on my game I should be doing it every 6 - 8 weeks. I started using henna about a year ago when I was looking for a natural way to color my hair. The coloring became secondary when I saw how much it enhanced my hair in other ways. My hair appeared to be shinier.
