A New Henna Thread

[kennylee2013]

We always use a moisturizing DC after though! You cannot skip on a moisturizing deep conditioner after henna or protein. No matter what your hair feels like. And you must use a real moisturizing deep conditioner that doesn't contain protein. Do not try to leave regular conditioner in for a long time either.

That isn't a real dc. That is too light. I like to cowash with it. That would be great to use a few days after for cowashing. And I don't find it very moisturizing.

DarkJoy any recommendations?

I prefer dc's in a jar. Something that is formulated to penetrate your strands as opposed to coating them.

Are you natural?


I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

Do you have to mix the two or can you just do indigo? HairPleezeGrow

I henna'ed my moms her last night. We were going to do a two step process of henna and indigo, but the Orangey-Red mash up she had going on was GAWJUS! It looks like she has highlights going throughout the front of her hair. So Jealous!

I always mix them. I'm not sure if you can just use indigo bc i think the dying properties to actually color the hair is in the henna.

Yes pics please!

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

I applied my hendigo at 6:30 this morning. Will leave it in until 4:30 this evening.

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Couldn't wait til this afternoon typical me as usual. Rinsed it out and will be back with pics later today.

Finally my hair is 90% dry and I was expecting a darker tone on my grays since I did one part henna two parts indigo but it still came out the way it always does. The golden color does make me appear to have highlights so I guess...
For some reason though my front section has loosened.

I've noticed when doing henndigoes the greys always end up looking golden. If U want them black you have to do a 2 step.

Just applied my Henna treatment using Coconut Milk and Hemp Seed Oil. I like the application. It was smooth and easy. My head feels light, not heavy and weighted down like it usually feels when I apply Henna. I am leaving it in overnight. I will come back tomorrow and let you know how it rinses out and how my hair feels after it dries.

I have tried mixing henna with lemon juice and mixing it with water. I will compare this to the others and see which is best for me. I'll come back tomorrow and let you know.

 

[Rozlewis]

OK, I wanted to report back my results from the Henna treatment using Coconut Milk. This will be the way I mix Henna from here on out. After rinsing the Henna from my hair it felt strong and smooth. Usually my hair feels a little like hay but with the Coconut Milk it was completely different. After rinsing I did a moisturizing DC and sat under my steamer for 30 minutes. I am 12 weeks post so my hair was a little dry afterwards but after I moisturized my new growth it felt wonderful.

does henna strip bkt?

 

[juliehp]

Has anyone tried mixing henna with rose water? I am going to try it with a splash of vinegar for acidity. Any input would be appreciated.

Yes. When I first started using henna, I used rose water. Adding the vinegar will not cause a reaction, either.

I no longer use the rose water (It's not easily available where I'm from. I had to order it online.)

My mix now consists of Jamila or Red Raj henna, indigo, fenugreek tea, Ghee and a couple teaspoons of bhrami, amla and bhringraj. I mix and stir well and immediately apply it. I never let it sit for the color release. Steam for 1 hour and let it sit another hour.

Rinse and co-wash twice. Apply DC and steam for 20 - 25 minutes.

Rinse, apply leave-ins and style.

Also, I henna about 3 - 4 times a month. (Been doing this for 3 years.)

HENNA GIRL FOR LIFE!!!

 

[juliehp]

Thanks so much! Here I found it at the grocery store around the corner from me- $4.38 for 10oz. I haven't checked anywhere else on island yet.

Henna mix is on the counter to defrost for application tomorrow.

Did henna on my 6 year old niece who has been struggling with ringworm. She handled the process really well and is looking forward to her next treatment. I plan on doing it again in 2 weeks.

 

[DarkJoy]

Will do the 2 step once this install is out. Cant wait!

 

[krissyc39]

I used to henna like crazy a few summers ago and I got really soft hair as a result. I've been thinking of picking it up again (mostly for my roots) to increase my hair's density but I don't know if I can use an expired box. Its a Mehindi 100% Henna so I wouldn't expect it to decompose into something crazy but I don't know if I'll be wasting my time either.

 

[FollicleFanatic]

Gonna go back to my old love of henna, will do tomorrow. Stopped bc I wanted my halfwigs to blend better with my roots, but heh I'm over it now lol. Can't wait!

 

[Rozlewis]

Henna weekend - Applying my Henna and Coconut Milk this evening and will wash out in the morning. After rinsing I will DC with a moisturizing DC under steam for 30 minutes.
