OK Kids.... I got a box of Henna.....

[Lucky's Mom]

But I won't be using it in the traditional way.

Does anyone add henna to conditioners, etc???

 

[baddison]

I do!!

My mix is mostly conditioner. Its what provides the majority of my "liquid" in my henna.

henna
warm coffee
Tresemms Moiture Vitamin E
honey
Amla Oil

...that's it. I henna overnite. But this mix goes on smooth, and rinses out even smoother.

Also, on the day that I wash out my henna, and DC....that night, I do a whole head baggy with my butters/oils. The next morning, my hair is in heaven

I do! 1 part color released henna to about 2 parts conditioner.

I've also heard of ladies doing henna 'glosses' that are about a tablespoon or two of henna in their usual amount of conditioner - provides from strength/conditioning than actual color.

I add a little EVOO and Suave Humectant to Henna when I use it.

Henna is too drying for me.
I have tried many ways - and it is ..

I have to do it one more time to Indigo.... Afterward - I won't care about grey hair.

So - I may end up giving it away.

I mix my henna with cassia, a touch of lemon juice, yogurt and wheatgerm oil (this oil seems to be the key to not overdrying). It's very rich in EFAs and vitamin E. It feels fine afterwards and my hair tends to be very dry, so I pay attention. After washing it out, I deep condition. What brand of henna do you use? I get mine from mehandi.com.
