It's all Vilafication!

In case you think that I resemble my icon (as spacefall can't help but imagine) here's a recent pic, taken just yesterday. See? No receding hairline or sad puppy-dog eyes! It was about time I put a new one on my site anyway.

Yay! Red hair is A Good Thing:). Eerily enough, you look almost exactly like one Finnish woman I know... hey, do you use henna for that?

Nope, but there is colour in it. I was born with bright auburn hair which went darker in my teens. I used to put henna mixed with coffee (tones it down) through it but it was a right pain to get it all out. Now I get it done at a salon with ordinary colour: brighten the auburn all through and some blonde streaks for the fringe.

My brother is a redhead too: he has lighter red hair which I assured him would go dark in his teens. It didn't. His beard's my colour, but his hair's still marmalade.
