Henna Gloss Users & Experts::::Questions

Is henna gloss like a permanent glosser for your hair: sometimes when I flat iron my hair: it lacks great shine: I don't want to add serums in terms of it will weigh my hair down. Besides the new growth growing: will henna gloss make my hair shiney: like clear nail polish and where away: or will it last?

I am not an expert but I did a henna gloss and I got a lot of color. If you are looking for shine, you should try Cassia not Henna. Cassia will give you shinny hair without worring about color deposit.

Cassia will not dye your hair, it will make it shiny and if you want a rich brown then you will have to mix henna with indigo. The more indigo you use add the darker the brown you will get.

I used Henna/Indigo/amla and some honey to make my mix.

This is my recipe:
Samples from hennaforhair.com

3 henna samples
2 Indigo samples
1 Amla Sample

Henna gloss
I first mixed the henna with warm water and let it rest for an hour, then added water to the indigo/amla when the henna was ready. I Mixed them all with Elasta QR-11 Conditioner and added vatika oil and honey.

I did it like a Deep conditioner with cap/heat for 30 minutes.

Forgive me La Flaca & Cleve Gryl: I just had too: if its a prob: plz let me kno ASAP: both of yall henna and the color is beautiful: I think I should use Cassia until my black dye is completely gone: but the Henna/Indigo/Amla mix is what gave you those beautiful light brown highlights?

 

[AKA-Tude]

This is my take on this-

Henna gloss is simply adding condish to your henna recipe.

It does leave the hair with more moisture & shine, which lasts a bit, but is not permanent. It's very temporary.

I have even added heat to the whole recipe & have gotten great color, coverage of grays, condition, & shine.

Yes and no!!
No 'cause I had highlites done to the the top of my hair before. It was last year but still that part of my hair was lighter than the rest. And yes 'casue I didn't have any color left from the hightlights. My hair was just lighter in the front, so that's the color I got from the henna/indigo/amla. You should look at the others pixs (back of my head) to make sure if you really like the color.

I hope this is not too confusing

yeah its the color I want: i've always wanted that color but some times my hair can look dull and I don't like that: Is the henna gloss something you can add w/ ur conditioner for gloss @ anytime: for ex: every 4 weeks i can henna gloss: I'm a newbie on Henna all togther so forgive me: I would love to use Cassia & Henna Gloss: I just don't know: how to use it: what it does: how it does it: how it works: wat are the results: & how it last.

Hey!! I'm here...Ok, forgive me for not knowing for sure the difference between a gloss and a treatment. I put the henna goo ALL over my hair...and I think a gloss is just touching up the roots?? Or, is it what you mix into the henna? I dunno

I am a henna convert for real. I've done a full head treatment 3 times now, and each time I get a richer color, stronger strands, and shinier hair. I love it!! WillyG, if you're not afraid of some color go for the henna. I use plain ole Jamila and have never mixed in any Indigo.

your potion is:
Jamila Henna & Gloss
if so: where can I get some

 

[Cleve_gryl]

No...My potion is Jamila Henna (found at the Indian Grocery store) mixed with hot water to make a green paste. I let this sit overnight covered in the kitchen for about 12 hours, so the color releases. In the morning before I'm ready to use it, I mixed in some coconut milk, EVOO, and honey. Stirred it up real good until it was smooth and almost like a relaxer consistency.

Some of the ladies say henna gloss..I've heard others say henna treatment. I don't know if they're one in the same type application or what. All I know is I lurbe me some henna Good luck with your henna experiment!!! I think you'll love the result. PM me if you need help!
