do you use pure henna?

Hi Ladies

when you use henna, do you use it in a product, or PURE henna in its original form?

Is it bad to use henna in its original form?

 

[Pompous Blue]

I use Karishma henna which is pure Henna, Amla, Shikakai, ARITHA, BHRINGRAJ and herbs.

Jamila henna which is just BAQ henna.

You can mix either with just water and use it that way.

Have you tried reading henna thread? I cant copy n paste for you right now but it is on page one right now if someone can dow it for her.

Yes, lawsonia inermis and no it is not bad to use it in its pure and natural state. In fact it is much better because some henna's have chemicals added to it.

But I suggest you carry out a strand test if you're going to henna your hair, to see how your hair will react to it.

Yes I have used henna before and loved it. My hair was thick and strong. Also it helped with shrinkage. I wish I could hand make my henna. One day I will. And by make I mean grow and crush and sift myself.

You can use henna straight - just add hot water.

Or you can add all manner of things to it - different herbs, oils, conditioner, etc.

Either works well to condition your hair.

Yes, right now I have BAQ Rajasthani henna in my hair. Yes, it can and should be used in it's purest state.


ETA: Just in case you want to know the mix it's BAQ Henna, hot water, lemon juice, ACV, olive oil, tea tree oil and honey. This mixes into a very smooth and creamy paste with a sorta camphor smell to it. Feels great on the scalp too
