hennalucent (how to apply)

[offthechainliz]

I read the instructions that it came with and it said if hair is dirty shampoo,rinse and towel dry before applying. but how about if hair is clean? do you aply it to dry clean hair or do you simply wet the hair and aplly. do you add oils in the mixure and where can I get these oils?

 

[Allandra]

I always shampoo my hair prior to applying hennalucent. I add olive oil to my mixture. You can get olive oil from a grocery store.

Allandra, since your hair is sooooooooooo long, do you use one or two packets of the hennaulcent. Also how much olive oil do you add to the mixture. I want to give myself another one around the middle of August and i've never added oil to it. Do tell....thanks.

I only use one box of hennalucent when I do my hair. I add about an ounce or two of olive oil to the mixture.

How to apply Hennalucent:

1. Apply HP3 Intensive Conditioner along the hairline and wear gloves with all shades except Neutral to avoid staining.
2. Apply Hennalucent to clean hair. If hair is very soiled or lacquered, shampoo and towel dry.

4. Wrap a cotton strip around hairline to prevent dripping. No cap or foil is needed. Do not use a hair dryer.
5. To determine the proper process time, see Hennalucent timing guide.

I realized after posting, this product has hydrolyzed animal protein. This past weekend I gave myself an Aphogee treatment.

Does anyone think this may be protein over kill for one week?
