Henna and Relaxers

[Edie]

I have a couple of questions for you henna users.

1. Have you used henna on your hair and then relaxed it?


2. Did the relaxer take well or did you get under processed areas?

3. Was your hair virgin when you used the henna or was it already relaxed?

4. How was the moisture content of your hair afterwards?

5. Can you use cassia powder the same way you use henna?

6. Did cassia give your hair the thickness that henna reportedly does?

7. can cassia powder be used with black indigo powder to achieve black hair coloring?



Hopefully you ladies can help.

Thanks!

1. Have you used henna on your hair and then relaxed it? Yes


2. Did the relaxer take well or did you get under processed areas? took well

3. Was your hair virgin when you used the henna or was it already relaxed? no already relaxed

4. How was the moisture content of your hair afterwards? because i used a no lye relaxer, which can be drying, i made sure to do a serious DC afterwards, and I never experienced any drying

5. Can you use cassia powder the same way you use henna? yes

6. Did cassia give your hair the thickness that henna reportedly does? yes

7. can cassia powder be used with black indigo powder to achieve black hair coloring? no, you need to do a henna application so the indigo will have something to adhere to. if you do just cassia, your hair wil be a tint of blue, since cassia is colorless

I have a couple of questions for you henna users.

1. Have you used henna on your hair and then relaxed it? No. I usually use henna 2 weeks after I relax. This is just my preference.


2. Did the relaxer take well or did you get under processed areas? There was a time when I was doing henna every couple of weeks. I felt like my hair got underprocessed because of the henna but I could be wrong. That's why I do #1 now.

3. Was your hair virgin when you used the henna or was it already relaxed? Already relaxed.

4. How was the moisture content of your hair afterwards? Henna makes my hair feel strong and silky. I do a mixture that includes oils, indigo, and moisturizing conditioner.

5. Can you use cassia powder the same way you use henna? Never tried it but I believe the answer is yes.

6. Did cassia give your hair the thickness that henna reportedly does? N/A

7. can cassia powder be used with black indigo powder to achieve black hair coloring? Don't know.



Hopefully you ladies can help.

Thanks!

Hope my answers above help!

Chiming in with a follow-up question: Is it better to henna before or after relaxing - or does it make a difference? I've never done it, but ordered mine and can't wait to try it!
