I usually just come back sunburned, hungover, and with badly applied henna in the shape of a palm tree on my foot.

In the early 2000s? nope.

A friend of mine did this when she went on her honeymoon to tahiti and the first day she had them the skin in between the braids got crazy sunburned and she and her husband had to spend a day very carefully undoing the braids. She had a stripe sunburn on her head for the rest of their trip.
