The Henna Experiment

I've always wondered what I'd look like with orange hair. My hair is still very, very short, but has come in very thick. Yesterday my sister-in-law Linda colored my hair with a mixture of henna and indigo, all plant-based, very safe. The dark colored hair came out fine, but the grays turned orange! Linda told me it will continue to oxidize in the next few days and should darken. I hope so, because I'm going to a wedding this weekend!

The left arm where my port was is feeling better. I have steri-strips which I can remove on Friday. There is just a little discomfort on my left side and my right side is still red, brown and peeling from the radiation treatments. So I have discomfort on both sides of me now! Not bad, really, and it improves every day.

Going shopping today to look for something for the wedding and maybe a cute hat to go with it. An Easter bonnet! Hopefully I won't look like a dork. Sigh.

I really like the outfit you picked out! Hopefully the orange won't be so... orangey by wedding time. We should have experimented on Marissa first!
