HENNA HENNA?

[MsMellodyChicago]

Hello ladies,
I am a new member and I am trusting that some of the wonderful ladies here at LHCF have had success with Bigjen Henna. I would like to order the Henna that I have been told by many is good for the hair.

I am aware that there are 2 (two) different types of the Bigjen(sp?) on the market. I am aware that there is the type with aloe and then there is the more caustic type. I have searched and found the aloe version on an Asian site..and I have hesitated to order until I can hear from some successful henna hair dyers here...Please Please advise.

One more question..I could not wait so I used a rinse on my hair that I have always found safe..but oh sooo temporary..as is my custom I already shampoo and deep condition at least 2x's a week. So you see the necessity for a longer lasting yet efficiently gentle and nourishing color technique. As before PLEASE ADVISE.
MsMellodyChicago!!!!!!

Re: HENNA HENNA responses

Hi and thank you for replying to my querie. I was told that the Bigen was hemna. Sorry that I got that wrong...but I still need some help on the usage of the Bigen powder that I was told was very nice for the hair and would cover my grey hair.

That is where I am at at this point. Just need some help with coloring the grey as well as maintaining the growth that I have sustained over the last few months.

Are there any Henna products that any of you all could suggest for me?
Course thick hair, it grazes the shoulder now, very thick hair all my life..so I have tried many products and have come to love the home regimen that I have for myself. It mainly involves the Pantene and Redken products.

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
