Hennalucent and Protein

[toinette]

I just got a relaxer on Wednesday. I just picked up some clear hennalucent from Sally's. I had previously planned on doing a light protein treatment tomorrow. I know that hennalucent is supposed to condition but does it act as a protein like the cellophanes do? If i use the henna, do i still need to use protein? anyone who has any info on the subject please help me out. I have an appointment for a wash and set on Saturday if that makes any difference at all.

I use hennalucent as a protein treatment all the time. A lot of people like doing it to soften and strengthen. But for my hair, I wouldn't do a hennalucent treatment right after a relaxer... it made my hair revert

Everyone else who I asked about it had no problems doing right after a relaxer. I guess I am just weird :ahwell:

hey, dont worry about reading that hennaphillacs thread. read the latest one made by Allandra or ones made in 2003 (the year that hennalucent was the hottest).

Anyhoo, a lot of people shampoo, then apply the hennalucent, wait 30 (or whatever minutes) then rinse it out. I always use a moisturizing conditioner afterwards
