Okay so I didn't my henna treatment. The results are a little darker than I would have wanted. Under the Summer sun my hair turns warm dark brown and the front develops tawny/dark blonde streaks which is a throwback to my childhood color.
In these new pics I have a lot of new growth, but I use the Macherieamour mist and blow dry technique to straighten them out. Also the henna seems to thicken my hair/fill in the gaps in the shaft allowing for straighter/smoother looking hair. I am hoping I can come up with a henna recipe that will result in a warm auburn brown instead of the dark brown pictured, but ah well.
I'll report more tomorrow, it's late and mine eyeballzzz are burning.

I must have the weirdest hair because the henna/indigo darkening seems to be lightening up! I swear my hair doesn't hold on to anything
My is lightening back to it's original color, but it's keeping the red tint from the henna. I also did a henna gloss on my hair last this weekend. Let me say this when you henna, you MUST pull out the most moisturizing and detangling products because henna will tangle your hair, do your own washes because a stylist will rip it out (that's what happened this weekend 
). I've lost so much hair this month, but I think next time I'll know what to do. I plan to henna my hair every 2 months and do henna glosses once a month.
IRL my hair isn't this red, it's a dark warm brown with reddish tints in the front where my light brown/tawny strands were.
THE OTHER NEW PICTURES ARE IN MY PICTURE TRAIL ACCOUNT.
As you guys can see from this picture the lighter front portion of my hair took the color the best, the rest was just thickened up and it's actually going back to it's original dark brown instead of the almost black shade it was directly after the henna treatment. Note the flash makes it appear brighter than IRL.

Here's a pic from the first henna/indigo treatment from last week. Notice how it's darker.

Ok, the eyebrows one is definitely more weird. My nail beds are short and stubby, so I always admire pretty, long, graceful ones like yours. Very elegant and feminine.
