Just did my hair -- a few warnings for others

I just did my hair with some very good henna, and oddly enough, I
think I'm going to go back to using the old, stale, crappy henna that
they sell just for hair at Fresh Fields.

Here's why: I didn't terp it or anything, but just in the time that
it took to get it all worked into my copious amounts of waist-length
hair, the globs that had gotten on my skin (including my face!) had
left a significant stain. I look like a Trill (Cmdr. Dax from Star
Trek Deep Space Nine) Also, contrary to what I'd been told, it DID
stain my sink and counter!

Another problem that my very long hair created: As I was glancing
down to notice that my sink was leaking underneath, and water was
spreading all over the floor, a tendril of already-glopped hair came
loose from the pile on top of my head. It thwacked me in the eye!
Considering that I mixed the henna with lemon juice and the last of
my husbands coffee, and a few Tbsps of leftover (terped!)henna from
the last few months that were the freezer, it was rather painful! To
make matters worse, the gloves were so coated in slime that I
couldn't get them off right away to rinse my eye. At that point I
gave up. I got in the shower, and just rinsed it all (almost) out.

I think I'll be going au naturel with my hair for a while.
