Ok, so... I henna'ed my hair yesterday afternoon. I purchased Jamilia brand henna from Catherine. I used straight up henna powder, mixed with apple juice, erplexed a teaspoon of lemon juice and some olive oil. The instructions said to apply to clean, dry hair, so I shampooed my hair the night before with ORS Creamy Aloe (chelating/clarifying) and did a couple mins of conditioner, followed by some cantu shea leave-in. The morning-of, it was dry because I didn't moisturize, and I just let my hair air dry...I didn't want anything to interfere with the dye uptake , so I just used the cantu leave-in as my moisturizer. I let the henna sit in my hair for 4 1/2 hours and then rinsed it out, followed by a couple of shampoos with Keracare Moisturizing/Detangling. Then I D/C'ed for like 2 hours, sans heat.
Long story short, 1 hour of detangling, and several shampoos and conditioning treatments later...My hair is so matted and tangled that I am scared to even touch it anymore. I lost way too much hair to it breaking from me detangling and it just being very brittle. Probably about a palmful. My head is so sore from all of the pulling from the comb and Denman, and I just don't know what to do anymore. I poured an entire bottle of olive oil over my head, did a hot oil treatment, I used a half of a bottle of two Organix conditioners, (Vanilla and Coconut) Kenra MC, Nexxus Humectress, and a half of a bottle of some Neutrogena Triple Moisture leave-in, with some SAA, and Honeyquat add ins. Nothing is helping!
What to do!? I need a super-charged hair softener/detangler. Please help
Its 2 am, and I started rinsing out the deep conditioner at 11pm, so I am going to bed in hopes that somebody has some help for me when I wake up in the morning I combed my hair back into a pony and bunned it, then put a baggy over it and a scarf over that. I don't care if this is how I have to wear my hair for the next week, anything to get it out of this trauma...
TIA
