The braids are so cute that the curly pieces have started braiding themselves, too. That romantic, effortless look comes with loose hair rubbing against sleeves, necklaces, and the back of the couch. Eventually, some of those curls become knots, little matted clumps- think Cythia from Rugrats lol! More mousse over the knots is not going to work.

The henna covered the gray. It also gave the roots their own spotlight. Some of us love that copper glow. Others wanted a darker brown or black result and now have very over-enthusiastic orange strands framing the face. We are fiery, tho. Henna alone deposits a warm red-orange pigment; repeatedly wishing for black does not change its job.
