Cool : ) Nature's Gate makes a nice Henna shampoo, smells divine and brings out the natural shine of your hair. May be complimentary for you!

Our nanny dyes hers with henna all the time. It's such a pretty color on her and her hair is so shiny and healthy looking. I don't dye mine yet, but I'm not far away from getting grays so I'll probably start using it then. Off to check out your blog....

Wow...those are awesome results (I cheated and skipped straight to the pics). You are beautiful and your hair looks great!

Oh...and our nanny uses a plastic shower cap (instead of saran wrap) and she just rinses and reuses next time. She then puts a stocking cap on over the shower cap to help hold it in place and generate warmth to help it all set.

 Just know that grey really picks up the henna and can be VERY orange.

This is true. Most people who want to cover up the gray need to do more of a 2 step process...the first time it is pretty orange, but the second application darkens it. Just know that the more you use henna the darker it will get and you can't get lighter with henna. There are a TON of success stories of people dying gray hair with henna, though....and most people end up where they only need to touch up the roots (henna really doesn't fade much). There's a forum over at hennaforhair.com with a LOT of great advice!
