Henna plus Haircolor Root Touch up

This was my experiment with mixing Henna and boxed color. It worked out beautifully.

Saved time and only 1/2 the chemicals of normal color and got the Henna glow to boot. I only wish I had taken a before picture to compare with , but the results are so well blended and natural looking I couldn't be happier. Now let's see how long it lasts - my guess is it should be fine until there is enough growth to do it again.

Hair Growth Progress

Here are some photos of my hair growth progress.


I stopped cutting just over 2 years ago because I wanted to see how long I could grow it before I get too old and decrepit.


I am at the age where everyone thinks you should have your hair short/shorter so I decided to do the opposite and grow it instead.


The challenge is keeping it in good shape so that it doesn't look like a rats nest, and being very thick and quite wavy that makes it a bit harder but not impossible.


I have learned a LOT of great tricks at the Long Hair Community and incredibly spend less time, effort and money on my hair now at waist length than I did years ago when it was short (and sometimes bushy and UGLY). I am LOVING my hair these days - and this is a fun journey.


It will be interesting to see just how long "terminal" is for my hair. Will it be waist, hip, butt, thigh ....?


Here are some progress photos since I started keeping track.
