Since I hit my 30s, I've been noticing greys creeping up one by one. Maybe not 50 shades, but enough to be noticeable! Sadly, most of them turn up around the crown of my head and end up being very visible. Ever since I decided to grow out my hair, I've been trying to take care of it better and part of that was to stop using chemical dyes on it. I just got tired of the whole cycle of getting damaged and split ends, cutting it then wondering why I wasn't able to grow it out.

But, this time my friend … [Read more...] about How long and how often should henna be for? {Hair Care}
