8 inch naturally wavy Auburn hair (cut 4/26/2023)

This naturally curly/wavy hair is Henna dyed (never bleached, never chemical dyed). never heat treated, non-smoking. washed 1-3 times per week. in different lighting the natural highlights in the hair can range from almost brown to firey ginger. Henna is a protein treatment for the hair and strengthens it, but is incredibly permanent and it can be dangerous to bleach. I have been dying with henna for 2 years now and the color has never faded on me. when properly hydrated the hair forms beautiful loose corkscrew curls, but when dry or weighed down it has a tendency to relax to waves.
