Advice needed! After having natural hair for a few years, I decided to return to 2 step Henna & Indigo dying, having previously used this method to great results.

It makes them no longer wish to express themself in this way and downright frightens them into not practicing henna anymore.

I purchased a three pack of cones by hennacaravan because I heard they were recommended. But when I used them they didn't stain well. it started a faint yellow and stained a orange/yellow color.

I just want to know if it’s culturally appropriate for me to do so. It’s getting warmer and warmer but I don’t want a tattoo, and I don’t want people asking me about them, and I find henna art beautiful, I’d would love it as a temporary cover up. submitted by /u/slavdaddyuwu [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
