thanks!  I'm gonna see a skin doc on Monday just to appease my neurologist!  Oh before I forget I revised the Satin Sox to be auctioned Worldwide so now everyone could bid if they wanted to!

Ok,I finished the henna and indigo today...hmmmmm this was some project!!!  The henna released its dye and I prepared the indigo and then mixed them together.  Mistake #1 is that I needed to have the mixture thinner,it was too thick.  Mistake #2 is that I should not follow directions and apply to dry hair.  My hair is too thick and long and totally unmanagable for this dry.  I needed to have my hair damp and wide tooth combed and then it would have worked out much better.  I started the process with my sister at 12:30pm and stepped out of the shower at 5:30pm.  I kept the mixture in my hair for 3 hours.  I rinsed for 45 minutes in the kitchen sink(no joke and no fun) used about 16 oz. of conditioner to help get most of the mix out.  I got in the shower,conditioned again,washed my hair and conditioned it again.  Wide tooth combed it,oiled the length and ends and put it up in a bun.
I used about 400 grams of mixture out of the 600 I ordered and I still don't have complete coverage down to the roots.  That's totally my fault.  Hair feels good and doesn't look so bad,but I will do this again in a few days or next weekend and do a better job.  The color is darker,but not as dark as I want it and I don't like the red highlights.  I'll use 2/3 indigo and 1/3 henna next time I purchase.  I used half and half this time.  Pictures will follow as soon as this has had a chance to oxidise.  I'll so before and after.  All and all I will do this and perfect my technique.  Anyone who has any ideas of doing this must seriously consider having someone help you!!!!

Next time I will use more indigo than henna!  I wanted it darker and I didn't cover everything even though my hair felft like I had 5 pounds of goop on it!  THat's probably why my neck hurts this morning!!!!
I'l gonna wait a few days if I can or maybe until the weekend and then do this again with my hair damp.  It will be far more easier to control!

Not much on the hair journaling today.  It is very wavy from the single braid I did yesterday after I washed it.  Had blood work today (4 vials!,grrrr)otherwise I would have deep condition it,too!  Anyhow,I made a pink satin sox for myself last night and used it.  Loved it and so did my hair!!  Today the black satin came along with the flannel backed satin florals,so I'll be busy making more satin sox!!  I think I'll do a black and pink one,that should be very nice as well.  Gotta go,recycling is tomorrow and there's alot of boxes to tape!  Oy!

What??  You need help??  From ME??   8)

Of course I'll help, if you need it.  If for no other reason than to see a picture of your hair!

Oh my!  If you sent me pics, I don't believe I received them. 

Try attaching them to another email and send them to robin@longlocks.com   I'll get them set up for display here (or I'll display them for you if you want!).

I washed my hair today with a shampoo bar and used some conditioner....it's been about 4 days since I did my second henna and indigo "treatment".  The color is almost what I wanted,too!  It is a beautiful dark dtown or almost black with touches of a deep burgundy.  I hope when I get the pics that everyone will be able to see the difference between the before and after shots.  After the slight car accident my B I L had yesterday(he's fine,btw) the pics should be coming soon!(fingers crossed,eyes squeezed tightly shut,praying).  Anyway,the only possible down side of the henna and indigo is that my curls are more relaxed,if you want to call it that.  I have it up in a bun with ketylo sticks right now so I won't know the extend of the curls until later when I braid it or use scrunchies and put it all in a Satin Sox. 
The blood work came back for the dermatologist to see if she could figure out what is this invisible itchy rash.  It has calmed down tremendously over the past 3 weeks.  The nurse had called and said the doc would call me tomorrow to discuss the results since she had such a late night with patience she was not able to call me.  I also went for the standard 3 month blood work yesterday so I've done blood work 3 times in a week and a half not to mention my regular injections 3x a week.  Talk about a pin cushion!!!!
