Hey ladies.
I've been using henna and indigo for years and never have a problem with dryness. I think having my hair clarified and well moisturized beforehand helps. Also I add VCO, honey and SAA to the henna mix for moisture and slip.
Stay away from adding acidic stuff to the mix like lemon juice and ACV. I did that the first time I used henna and didn't like the way it made my hair feel so I never added a terp again.
I like to rinse the mixture out with Suave or one of the other cheapie conditioners to help get it all out and soften the hair for the indigo application or for DCing.
It is also suggested that the hair is well oiled prior to using Ayurvedic powders.
Just to make sure--are you all putting plastic over the hair to keep it moist while the henna is "processing"?
I really want to try henna and indigo if you don't mind I have a few questions
Where do u buy you henna
What is vco and ssa
Does it really cover the gray and do you get that jet black shine
