Did My Henna Last Night!

[empressaja]

Me likey!!!! The reason I wanted to Henna is because I wanted to dye my hair blue-black w/ no chemicals the extra strength and conditioning would be an added extra.. When I put it in I didn't like how stiff it was but next time I'll add more Olive oil. When I rinsed the henna out I could tell instantly that my hair was stronger also my new growth was more loose than usual. My synthetic black dye had somewhat washed out a bit in certain areas so I was like Oh Crap I hope this takes and goes to blue-black and not green lol. Then added the Indigo paste put a plastic cap on ( I had to use three because of the mess lol) Wrap my head in my darkest navy blue towel. And did house chores till 10pm. Rinsed added conditioner I could n't tell if my hair was stronger or dry it was really shiny though I rinsed. Then I added infusium 23 combed through added WGO scrunched with a towel diffused ( My fake wash n go relaxed hair on the ends) and went bed I woke up this am with the shinest hair. It feels really strong. I have decided that next time since my hair is so dark already I will do 2/3 Indigo and 1/3 Henna cause its the deep blue black collor I want. The conditioning from the Henna will be the bonus. Thanks all you Henna ladies.

Um...My name is Enchantmt and I have a BLUE HAIR FETISH!!

Please tell me what you used and where you purchased it from. I havent done a blue/black color because I didnt want to use a regular permanent color and my semi perm standy doesnt hold on my natural hair.

TIA

I also have a blue-blue hair obsession. I used 100g Henna mixed w/ Olive oil and lemon Juice. I let it sit over night.
The next day I applied the Henna left in like 30 minutes and then rinsed.

I mixed 100g Indigo w/ warm water. Apllied it to damp/ towel dried hair. Cover w/ 3 plastic caps and let it sit for and hour. Its black but I will do it again this weekend to get it more blue- black. This next time i will change up the ingredients a bit. I will add more and I'will mixed 1/3 henna w/ 2/3 indigo or more.
I'll post pics tommorow.

Congratulations

I too did my first henna treatment last night. I cant over how strong and shiny my hair is today.

I love to experiment, so I probably will do the indigo mix one of these days.
One thing is for certain though...HENNA is for LIFE!!!

Thanks for the info.
I'm going to read through some of the other henna threads later.
Also where did you purchase your products?

TIA

ETA: To clarify, did you mix the henna and indigo together, or were they two seperate applicatons?

I got the products from www.Mehandi.com. I ordered 200g of each.

I applied them in seperate applications, but he next time I may mix together and just use mostly Indigo and a little Henna to get the color I want.
Its cool to me how I can play with the mixes and not have to worry about damaging my hair because it is making my hair better w/ every application.
