In reply to: anyone used jamilla henna to dye their hair? posted by Anne on September 6, 2001 at 15:12:11:

: Any ideas or tips?

I hennaed my hair a lot this summer, and had some experience with
this. The time that I did get an orange hairline was when my henna
was a bit too thin (I do mix it rather thin for the hair, but if it's
too thin it will run onto your forehead!) A way to help stop this
from happening (other than making a thicker mix!) is to insert rolled-
up pieces of paper toweling under the plastic, along the hairline
(and just behind/above the ears... this is a great place for drips to
go!) They catch the drips before they get to your face.

Hope this makes sense!

Zimra, who fortunately had a tan when she had the orange forehead...
it almost blended right in!
