Seeing Red

Soooooooooooooooooooooo.

I've always wanted red hair. Always. Always. That desire is what prompted the Bleaching Incident of '06.

I've settled down over time, because bleach simply ain't good for my hair, and henna, as fabulous as it is, simply - well, it can't overcome the natural darkness of my hair.

Enter TLHC and a thread about lightening your hair with - cinnamon. Yup. Plain old, run of the mill, apple pie making, cinnamon.

Being the kitchen witch that I am, that's SO right up my alley. *thinks* My next out weekend is another Caramel Treatment (04/26ish), and then henna after than (05/10ish). It seems like people got the best results with a strong cinnamon/conditioner mix, left on for several hours. And the mix needs to be thick too, so that it won't drip onto skin and potentially burn it - cinnamon oil ain't no joke!

I would like to do a full 8 week cycle of cinnamon-flavored treatments. I'm trying to decide just how fast I want to do this, as I could do a cinnamon DC every weekend - in or out - on Friday nights, and rinse it out when I get up on Saturdays. Hrrrm. I think I will do it that way.

So, I'll wait til the weekend of 05/16, and..... oh bugger. The summer is packed - I won't be home a LOT of weekends. *sigh* I might not be able to do this like I want to. Hrm. Or - to rephrase, I might not be able to do it as FAST as I want to.

*twitch*

More thinking is required.
