Way to support the madness IDareT'sHair:giggle:

No you didn't:lachen: :lachen: Clearly I'm in good company around here:lol:
 
I think some folks make it like spakle, talmbout it clogs their drains and takes 4 rinses... huh? :look: :thumbsup: for the tribble reference! I'm a trekkie. And what they said on defrosting. It's good to go once at room temp.
[/QUOTE]

Henna clogging drains? That:lachen:'s just cray-cray.
I'll tell you what clogs some drains...bentonite clay if you put it on too thick!
 
Omg! Spackle! Lol! I agree. People complaining about rinse time must have some really thick goop. Brownie batter is about the thickest consistency my henna ever gets.
 
DarkJoy you're too funny:giggle: I watched a few video's came near to my data limit for the month:look: and concluded that I'm not working with no spakle:nono:
 
@DarkJoy @Wenbev @Nix08 I agree. No Drain Clogs. But mine is very finely sifted.:lick:

Those clogged drains might be with folks that said they also had: Grit, Rocks, Stems, Dirt, Stones mixed in with their Henna.:look: *yes, folks have said that*:look:

The same ones that hafta' Rinse & Rinse and have Red Fangas & Towels and all kinds of Mess 3 weeks afterwards.:lol:

....did she really just say "red fangas?"

:rofl: :lol: !!!!!!
 
I have been cryin real tears ya'll.


I think about Darkjoy every single time I mix my henna. I cannot imagine mixing henna at work. Did you wait until you got home to apply the henna?


I can't remember.


Sticks, stones and seeds in henna don't ave nothing on ladies making mud wash from the clay/dirt in their yard.
 
Doing my henna treatment tonight. It's henna, acv, cinnamon, clove, olive oil, tea tree, and water for texture. My hubby applies it for me and I leave it in overnight. Something about the mix is soothing because I always sleep like a baby. I love struggle spa night. :-D

Ok ladies soooo...you guys are the greatest:yep: I got nervous about the colour so only left it for 2 hours:look: It rinsed out rather easily. Under the light it has a beautiful colour, I'll try and get a pic in the sunlight. I found a grey hair (don't know how it got in my head:look:) and it is a nice copper colour.

I'm very happy about this and will certainly be a henna head going forward.

OH and I swear my hair is swollen, it just
seems like more hair:perplexed: but for my fine strands I'm very very happy about that.

I also didn't find it very drying...I did a couple lathers of Millcreek aloe vera conditioner then my usual tea/coffee /oil rinse and AOHSR. My hair felt and still feels very silky and nice even before my final rinse of SAA and ACV.

I'm a henna head for life:yay:
 
Nix08

Nice! Glad it went well!:grin:

Next time you can leave it on a little longer. Remember next time it deepens in Color 48-72 hours after application.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Henna! Henna-Head:lol:
 
Nix08

Yes, it is unnerving the 1st time, because you think you might end up with Clown Red or something, but it seems to turn out quite nicely.:yep:

Did you wrap in Saran Wrap? That keeps things nice and moist, locks heat in and helps with color and any possible 'drips'.

For me, as with Tea Rinsing, the Benefits are Cumulative and get better with time.:yep:

Enjoy! And thank you for being willing to 'experiment' with a lot of things and to share those with us.:grin:

I still haven't gotten around to trying a 'Beer Rinse' someone was suppose to try that for the Barley and Hops properties.:look:

I think maybe divachyk tried that one.

Ya'll I was hair-dicated :rolleyes: this morning! Doing the 2-step indigo today and didnt want to be at it til 8pm tonight--I wanna go to the movies!No time to chelate last night so this morning, I:
-get the kid up and going for school
- wash my hair full strength (couldnt find the cup to dilute!!)
-got DD fed, dressed and out the door
-almost forgot the dog and let him out and fed him, then BACK out with the kid

ALL WITHOUT A COFFEE FIX. Shoot, got her to school, made a bee-line to Starbucks (ahhhh--finally!), Got home, slapped the henna on, all before 8:30. WHew!

And I STINK! That garlic water was marinating all night so that with the henna smell is.... ew. Oh well. A nice growth spurt from it is my hope. Never left garlic on for 4hrs before. Usually it's just 30min max.

@Nix08, Glad you're going for it! Color intensity softens over a few days and probably wont be noticeable unless your hair is backlit by the sun after ~4 days? And chiiille, I mixed henna and watched the dye release all at my desk at work :sekret: :rofl: so dont be shame about bringing your sample to work! :lol:

Welcome back @jprayze!

HelloDarkJoy! What is your brew recipe for this garlic water? You always have something interesting going!:yep:
 
Welcome to the henna-fold Nix08! Sooo happy your hair is REALLY taking without a hitch to the Ayurvedics. WOohoo!

Nice to see you round these parts again felic1! Oh that garlic water = 2-3 cloves smashed garlic. Maybe 2 cups distilled water. Simmer on LOW until half the water is gone (I likes it concentrated :) ) Refrigerate (with the garlic still in it) until ready to use. Sometimes I add smashed fresh ginger too. That's all.
 
Yes DarkJoy I'm very happy that these ayurvedics are working so well:yep: They are effective and sooo much fun:grin:

IDareT'sHair 'clown red' is EXACTLY what I was afraid off, exactly...but I'm loving this....it's the kind of thing where I envision walking on a sunny day with my hair blowing in the wind and and hits of colour just gleaming off my head:look: :lachen:
 
So, it's time to do my two-step henna/indigo treatment. I'll be mixing in amla and bhingrag powder. Along with Mahabhringraj oil and hibiscus/fennel tea.
