Uhm, I accidentally spilled a bit of henna into my bathroom sink (which is white). How do I get the dye out? Bleach?
*************************************************************
I mixed up 200 g of henna with a combination of lemon juice and distilled water. I was in a hurry so I let it sit on a warm place for 2 hours as recommended in the book - my window sill for 1 hr and then on top of the stove with the oven on.
On mehandi.com, she states I should use between 300 to 500 g for my BSL hair. I have super thick hair and only managed to need ~150 g to fully saturate my hair. I hope I didn't short change myself. I used one of these to apply it to my roots and scalp before smoothing it down the shaft to my porous ends:
I then went back and slapped handfuls of the mixture to each section. (My problem areas - crown, nape, and ends - really drank this stuff up.) This stuff is supposed to be good for dandruff (which I've recently been plagued with for the first time in years). I froze the rest of the henna and am now sitting under the dryer with a plastic cap on for 2 hours. I don't have time to chill for 6 hours with this stuff in my head lol.
No skin allergic reactions to this stuff, but I would caution y'all that have severe plant allergies resulting in allergic rhinitis like myself to pop a benadryl, claritin, etc. prior to working with the henna. I've been sneezing up a storm lol.

I plan to wash this out with just water. And then I'll mix up ~200g of indigo with tap water, CMC powder, and 2 tsp of salt to use immediately. I plan to sit under the dryer for 2 hours with the indigo as well. Let's cross our fingers that I don't end up with blue or green hair.
