Once I got up this morning I went shoping for my GCP conditioning balm and Porosity conditioner and shampoo love that smell I used this in my hair before putting my henna in, I did not shampoo only the condition. I wanted to prep my hair because it was dry. After using those product my hair was like I just got a relaxer I not lying ladies very soft. After I finished I put my henna on my damp hair , it went on like a relaxer , very soft , I was so surprise , because the last couple of week my hair was dry and hard , I could not get a comb through it. I want to think the ladies on this board for suggesting these product tto me in another post , it really help my damage hair, and the cost was cheap. My henna is in I will post with an update after I wash out, and I have gray , I used jamilla in the past it made my hair auburn not bad. Thanks

Man! Where was this thread when I tried to search before I did my first henna last week?! My first attempt came out ok but I'm not sure I used enough (25g). Next time I'm going to use 100g and just water, no lemon juice.

Question: what does putting tea in your henna mix do?

 

[baddison]

WHat kind of tea are you considering? Some teas are more acidic than others. some teas just add softness, some add more shine. Personally, I simply add brewed coffee as my liquid....it tends to take some of the red-ness out and gives me such a beautiful auburn-ish/burgundy-ish color. Then once my liquid has made my mix a thick consistency, I add my amla oil and aubrey organics white camelia to make it smooth like lotion or like pudding.

OMG!!!! NUPUR HENNA is da bom-diggety!!!! :wow:


I did my two-week henna treatment again, but this time I used the NUPUR......good grief - it was AWESOME!!!

Here's my mix: (sorry...can't really get into measuring with gramserplexed)
1/4 cup Nupur Henna
1/8 cup Nupur Henna (the 1/4 cup looked like it wasn't enough....I was right!!)
1/2 cup coffe
1/2 cup Tresemme Moisture w/Vitamin E conditioner
1/4 Vatika Coconut Hair Oil (this is Great stuff, too)
2 tblsp honey

My mixture was smooth & creamy...almost like a baby-food creaminess & consistency. I finger-parted & applied to dry hair. Covered with a few plastic shower caps and then went to bed. It was Friday nite, and I always do my henna overnite, so I don't bother with waiting for any color release. I'll get it as I sleep.... :hehe:

Next morning.....TODAY!!

I got up rinsed out the henna. It was ssooooo easy to rinse out. I needed nothing but my running water. Maybe it was the added oils, maybe it was the added conditioner, maybe it was the added honey....WHO CARES...this thing rinsed out like a dream!!!

I proceed with my regular wash & DC w/Heat routine.....

I am singing the praises of NUPUR HENNA. The indian store near me, SUBZI MANDI, sells 200g for about $3.29 :wow: I'll be a henna'ing monkey before I run out of henna....LOL!!

The color is beautiful. Not as bright red as the jamila. I really wasn't happy the the Bozo looking bright oranges I got with jamila. But this NUPUR color has more brown tones, like an aurburn brown. And i know it will oxidize in the next days and get even darker. I'm in love.

My hair is so strong. It feels like fibers that are just strong, yet with the right moisturizers & oils, the strands become so obedient, and pliable.. I am loving my hair today.

QUESTION: How do I store the rest of my dry henna, until my next application?

I'm so glad you posted this because I'm sitting right now with the Nupur henna in my head. I mixed mine with a little amla and shikakai powder, a cup of brewed coffee, ACV, and a few drops of lavender essential oil.

Hopefully, it will turn out nice (this is my first henna).erplexed

Where can I purchase Nupur online? A trustworthy vendor.

Please let us know how it turns out. I'm pretty sure you will NOT be disappointed with NUPUR. So far, it has turned out to be the BEST henna for my hair..

Unfortunately (...or should I say "FORTUNATELY"...) I purchase my NUPUR Henna from my local Subzi Mandi Indian Grocery store. I do hope you find a reputable online vendor to purchase from.

Thanks for the idea! I may try this in the fall/winter!

The only tea I've seen mentioned so far is green tea. Does that add softness? Which teas add softness? My first henna I only mixed with lemon juice so to get a little softness would be nice. Any suggestions would be appreciated TIA

 

[baddison]

Well, so far, I've learned that chamomile tea is non-drying, and wont itch like lemon juice does. Also Hibuscus tea is supposed to be very moisturizing.

Personally, I simply use brewed coffee for my liquid.... any nice bold-dark roast. It seems to tone down the red in my color. But some ladies have also reported that using coffee does nothing at all to change the dye color for their hair.

Another case in point - every head is different.

EDITED TO ADD:
Catherine (from Henna For Hair site) did some tests with henna in different liquids: lemon, water, chamomile.

Apparently the chamomile oxidizes quite well, and doesn't fade as fast.

East West Bazaar has it for a really great price.
http://www.eastwestbazaar.com/

I usually get the 200g pouch for about $3.49, but here they have the same exact pouch for only $2.79. Hmmmm....thinking about stocking up on about 10 pouches

I forgot about this merchant baddison. Have you ordered from them before? What are the shipping fees like?

thanks Aggie.

You're welcome tishee, but check out the link baddison just posted as well.

Haven't order from them before....but the pj in my is whipping out the CC right now!! I'll be the guinea pig and let y'all know how it goes!!

 

[baddison]

*screeching halt*.....Well, not too sure 'bout these shipping rates (see attached *.pdf). Its worth it if what you order exceeds the minimum 11lbs, but I only ordered 5 Nupu Henna Pouches (200g each) and it comes to $13.95 (which is GREAT :wow
BUT I'm not paying twenty bucks to ship it to me....NO WAY!!!!

Are these folks out of the country???

Hmmm, that is pretty high for such a small order but like you said, it does make sense if you are ordering 11 lbs or more of products. I don't know if they are out of the USA. For me, shipping would be almost $22.00 to Florida and I will have to pay more on top of that to get it to the Bahamas. IDK, this is getting to be more trouble than it's worth.

I want indigo, but it was too expensive on aurnaturalbeauty.com. It was cheaper at mehndiskinart.com by almost half. I may have to go back to mehndiskinart to order my indigo. I can get 3 kilos (30 - 100gram boxes) of indigo for $105.00 + $28.00 s/h. To me, that's worth it. One kilo at ayurnaturalbeauty would cost me $62.50 each plus the s/h fees. I'll save at least $60.00 or more ordering it from mehndiskinart.com. That's a hefty savings for me. Decisions, decisions...

 

[mnemosyne]

If you're in NYC Butala Emporium has them for $2.99/200g.

Cool!! Where is this place located??

OPay baddison, I think I will order about half a dozen bags from www.amazon.com then. Where did you get yours from and how much did you pay for them, including shipping?
