Report from the hair-henna front
God, work today is horrible. I hope I get to go home tonight with enough time to henna my hair.
In any case -- I checked up on the green goop this morning, and added the tea tree oil to the mix I was reserving for terps. The lemon mixes and yogurt mix oxidized beautifully. The yogurt mix looks like it has by far the silkiest texture. I couldn't tell how well the chamomile and coffee mixes oxidized. The coffee I brewed was so black that it was pretty dark when I set it out last night, and so even this morning it was a pretty solid color straight through. The chamomile was slightly lighter green in the middle, but it might have just been a trick of the light. There was a little yellowish seepage from the chamomile -- exciting, because that might indicate its power to dye hair yellowish.
Since I couldn't tell how the coffee/tea mixes were doing, I left them all out instead of popping them in the fridge for the 10 hours I'm at work to keep it fresh. I figured it needs all the help it can get.
Hopefully I'll have a fresh report tomorrow of how it worked on my hair... but I totally doubt I'm going to get home before 10 p.m. God. I need to get better at this henna thing so I can market myself and not be chained to a PC for 10+ hours a day.

Can't wait to see the hair henna experiment results! I've been contemplating henna in my hair, but so far I'm completely chicken and have resorted to living vicariously through others! :)
