One Week Countdown for Coloring Hair Naturally with Henna & Other Herbs!

It's almost here! And I'm so, so excited.  While Rehabilitating Damaged Hair Naturally was a massive success, Coloring Hair Naturally with Henna & Other Herbs is a true labor of love.

The ebook will be released on Amazon and Etsy on September 27th!

Twice the length of Rehabilitating Damaged Hair Naturally, Coloring Hair Naturally with Henna & Other Herbs clocks in at 135 8 1/2 x 11 pages, meaning it's over 300 pages on an e-reader! That makes it, by far, longer and more comprehensive than any book on herbal hair coloring out there.

It's all here! From "should I henna?" to "I've hennaed and gotten mud on the ceiling, what do I do?"

And it doesn't just cover henna! Blonde colors, brunettes, and even how to bring out a silver shine on gray hair with herbs is all inside.  There's even an entire section dedicated to lightening hair and another to removing herbal hair colors.

Check in often over the next week! I'll be revealing more of the book's contents and showcasing prizes for the reveal giveaway!
