A New Henna Thread

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

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!

PICS, WE WANT TO SEE!
 
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.
 
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.
 
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!!!
 
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.
 
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. :)
 
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.
 
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.
 
Looks like I'm Hendigo'Glossin tomorrow :grin:

I keeping it REAL simple.

50% Jamila Henna
50% Indigo
6 oz. of Giovanni Conditioner for Black Hair
Distilled Water (eyeballing this one)
2 tablespoons of Honey or Agave Nectar
