164 - Making A Red Haired Temptress

Today's JSVB post is all girly stuff, but it's relevant: pictures I took of Henna Application Day.  Please click here to see the "After" picture.  These are the "Before" shots.



Our friend Val applies the goo.  This henna product starts off as a brick that we shave into bits, much like chocolate.  Add hot water and keep the mixture warm in a double-boiler.  It smells faintly of coffee and looks almost exactly like its namesake, "caca".  Caca is this henna's store brand, and it's also the Spanish word for poop.
