I henna'ed! (with pics)
It seems to have calmed my hair down a bit.
The first time I henna'ed, I let the mixture oxidize for about 5 hours and left it on for an hour and a half. It didn't do much for color, but it was shinier and siginifantly stronger.
Mix 1:
I didn't measure, but I'm using Karishma Henna and used 1/3 of the package
Lime Juice
1 cup of chamomile tea
juice squeezed from 2 clementines
suave coconut conditioner
The second time I hennaed was 4 days later, it oxidized for 8 hours and i left it in for about 6 hours. My hair is a really subtle auburn-reddish in the sunlight and my curls have calmed down if that makes sense. There's less frizz and more clumping together...it also isn't standing up at much, which is kinda a bummer. Womp. But overall, I'm happy with the results. A lot less shedding and such.
Mix 2:
1/3 package Karishma Henna
Lime Juice
Rasberry Zinger Tea
Ginger (for smell)
Cinnamon (for smell)
Nutmeg (for smell)
lots and lots of ground cloves (for smell)
Orange Blossom Water
The first picture is no henna, the second is the first henna treatment and the third picture is the second henna treatment. It's a cell phone picture, so the color is a bit off.
