MY HAIR IS SOOOOOOOO SOFT!!! I Henna'd last night, keeping the henna in for a whole 8 hours. Here's my mix...
1. 100g henna
2. 1/2 cup of almond oil
3. 1/2 cup of Safflower oil
4. Mix with enough water to paste a paste the consistency of yogurt.
Cover. Let sit overnight.
Before applying, mix with cheapie conditioner until smooth. (I used V05 pomegrante.)
Apply. Allow to sit as long as you want it. Again I left mine on overnight, wrapping with saran wrap and covering with two shower caps. I tied a silk scarf over that and went to bed.
This morning, I rinsed real good. The henna washed easily out of my hair. Washed with Mizani Moisturefuse. Used Moisturfuse conditioner, mixed with LeKair Cholesterol. Allowed to sit without heat for a couple of hours.
Got in the shower. Did my business. Rinsed conditioner. Lost few hairs.
Henna made my hair nice and strong.
Out of the shower, I used WEN cleanser cream as a leave-in, followed by WEN Lavender Creme, sealed with WEN Fig oil. Allowed to airdry for about an hour. Applied a heat protectant. Blow dried. Sealed with a dab of Parachute Pure Coconut Oil.
The results? My hair is shiny. I have a burgandy/auburn tint from the Henna. I used Hesh Henna and will be using that again. I think I want my hair a little more red so I'll try the other Henna from Africa that's supposed to be good next time.
I love Henna and have no trouble at all. No mess. No fuss. Stronger, thicker, fuller hair!!!
STAY TUNED FOR PICS!!!
