		<description>You know I have a little tip as a long hair dyer-- you coat your ears in vasolinne, and also the area around your forehead as it meets your hairline (don&#039;t get any hair into it though!  the vasoline blocks the dye from dying your skin as well, and having weird blotchy looking spots around your forehead.  Just apply generously but not globby, and voila!  Afterwards, when you&#039;re done rinsing your hair of henna or (heaven forbid!) cheapo boxed peroxide dye, simply wipe the vasoline off gently.  this is great if your helper is not very exact or gets overly vigorous!  :D

Also, you can do this trick for eyebrows, although to do this safely you must make the person who&#039;s eyebrows are to be done wear some swimmer goggles, the tiny ones that aren&#039;t like the snorkling masks with the nose.  Once the goggles are protecting your eyes from the fumes, you can apply vasoline around the areas of the eye which will not need dye, such as the eyelid and above the eyebrow into the forehead area.  Make sure the vasoline is not getting on ANY of the hair you want dyed--if it does you must wipe it off and then gently cleanse with face soap/hand soap and rinse before re starting that eye.  Then, lie down on your back for a while while the dye sets into your eyebrows.  You won&#039;t want it to set for too long, since eyebrows are naturally usually a slightly different (and usually darker, so don&#039;t even think about bleaching the eyebrows too much or you&#039;ll make them virtually disappear on your face!) shade of color than the hair itself.

Really, it doesn&#039;t matter if you dye the eyebrows since you can always buy an appropriate eyebrow pencil for more exactitude for special occasions and photo opportunities :D</description>

		<description>I&#039;m dying. This is great stuff. You don&#039;t need to write a novel, Maya (I mean if the passion putters out). Just keep writing your life.</description>

		<description>Hi Rebecca, thanks so much for stopping by!  I use the &#039;henna for African hair&#039; because the sift is so fine, making a smoother paste.  My hair is really fine, so it works well for me.  But really, any of the hennas they sell are great.  I&#039;ve used several and never been disappointed.  

The recipe was just henna and lemon juice, left over night, then thinned with warm water the next day to make it toothpaste consistency.  

Good luck with your hair!</description>

		<description>Hey, I found you blog searching for henna info on google! I think your hair is beautiful after the henna! I&#039;m thinking about doing the same, and your hair looks like it was medium/dark brown before (which is what mine is) and I would love to have the color you ended up with!

Did you just use the first type of henna for hair on the site, Body Art Quality Henna: Punjabi Prime? Or did you mix another color with it? What recipe did you use? Thanks!</description>
