This was my first ever-colouring treatment. I waited two weeks to apply it after having my touch-up. I made the decision to dye it because using relaxers for the last 8-9 months and performing correctives changed my hair colour to a dark brown, I dearly missed my natural black texture.
I blooming love the results. I’m glad I’ve saved money having to get the hennalucent one from US. I used Henne colouring cream in black for permed and colour treated hair.
I took a chance though, as I didn’t perform a strand test to see how it would react on chemically treated hair, even though the instructions stated it was safe for permed and coloured treated.
I shampooed with my wonderful Elucence moisture benefits, rinsed and towel dried my hair before applying the colour. The product arrived already mixed, with plastic gloves and good clear concise instructions. I poured the mixture into an empty container and used a tint brush to apply to my roots and I just used my fingers and pasted it on the rest of my two-strand twists lol.
The scent is a beautiful lavender essence, which perfumed the hair, it was very aromatic. The consistency is perfect, it smoothes on brilliantly without causing a major mess, the instructions say to leave in 10-45, however recommended less time for chemically treated hair so I took a wild guess and left it on 30 min then covered with a plastic cap.
I rinsed it out and oh my god, I had beautiful, stronger, shiny, healthier looking, richer and thicker black hair, my hair felt much drier though so I conditioned with henara colour enhancer and my hair still felt dry.
I rescued my hair with a magnificent concoction keracare humecto, elucence and Redken all soft heavy cream for 30-40 min, then I rinsed out, my hair was much softer and moisturised. I know sithembile wanted to know how it turned out as she was interested in the products and I’d say it’s a thumbs up. They have other natural henna ranges from Auburn, blond, mahogany, brown etc.
