Mixing Monday: Coloring Natural Hair

I am interested in coloring my natural hair.  I have been natural for almost 3 years (in April 2011) and have not used any chemicals to color my hair.  I have used natural coloring treatments like Henna, but it only lasts a few weeks then begins to fade.  I'm considering trying a different brand of Henna I picked up from the Whole Foods store called Light Mountain Natural - Hair Color & Conditioner and its (Rhianna) RED.

The Ingredients in this is Lawsonia inermis leaf powder, its another natural conditioning treatement similar to Henna.  Its ammonia & peroxide free!  I'm kinda excited to do this treatment, and will post the results.  I wanted to give Henna or natural coloring another try before I moved to another option.  The other option is to have my natural hair rinsed with a Red chemical by a professional.  I'm not sure who and when I will get this done, but I'm ready for a change. 

Quick Color Mix:
Light Mountain Natuarl Hair Color & Conditioner
Water (according to directions)
5 tbsp Castor Oil
3 tbsp Vegetable Glycerin
10 drops of Fragrance (I'm using Sweet Orange Oil from Whole Foods)

Keep the Faith!

Until next time,
