The author reflects on her tumultuous hair journey, from colorful teenage experiments to severe damage from bleaching. After years of struggle and experimenting with various hair care treatments, she finds solace in using henna as a natural dye. This decision not only restores the health of her hair but also brings her closer to her identity by allowing her to embrace a shade reminiscent of her mother's auburn hair. Now, routinely dyeing her hair ginger, she experiences a profound sense of self-recognition and connection to her roots.
At 26, when I look in the mirror, I now see my mum looking back at me.
Using henna seemed the best long-term solution to restore my hair's health after years of damage.
