So, I just used up a few things this past week:

Garlic conditioner (backups)
Bee Mine (backups)
CoCasta Shikakai oil (1 backup)
Jamaican Black Castor Oil - repurchasing
Deep Brilliance Manage
Mizani Moisturfusion Silk Conditioner
I'm just gonna say now that I will be getting a few other things when I order my JBCO. I am getting 2 of the large CPR's, some HB Castor Oil, and hopefully not much else. We'll see how my will power holds up...

Good luck on your henna treatment charz. For some reason i was never interested in doing it. Alot of ladies have good results with it.

Henna'ing is Wonderful. You're Gonna Love It. (if you do it right). I have Neva' Eva' had a problem rinsing it out Nor with Dry Hair Afterwards.
I Co-Wash in something Uber Moisturizing, Slap the Henna On, Wrap Hair tightly with Saran Wrap. Leave on for about 3-4 Hours, Rinse a long time with Clear Water. Follow up Rinsing with V05 Moisture Milks or something Cheap.
DC for about an Hour with My Steam'a -- (Usually HSR or WC) And sometimes after that I put a plastic cap on and let it just sit. Sometimes not. (Depending on what kinda time I have)
Rinse out the DC. And Proceed with my Normal Styling Process. I've always gotten mine from Mehandi. Always Body Art Quality. It is super finely Sifted. Never used any cheap Henna from the Indian Store.
Viola' ! Perfect Results Every Single Time. Let us know how it turns out.
^ Thank you!
All the information on Henna is overwhelming haha. Do you mix the Henna or use it straight? I think I want to try it straight. I got mine for Mountain Rose Herbs because they already mixed it with indigo and rhubarb cuz I want brown tones.
We have allot of Indian stores in the DC metro area but I am paranoid about the ingredients and quality. When I found out that the Amla oil had mineral oil when I last visited, I was done.

Okay so Ima bout to oil my hair so I will finish up the vatika frosting (a million back ups in the wings). I finished green tea herbal butter this morning. I think I will work on AOHSR next. I'm really thinking of not repurchasing (I probably got 3-4 more though) because I'm so tired of how hard it is to get that ish out the bottle.
On another note why did I see the UPS man delievering at another location and when he saw me he smiled & waved. Now you know that's a mess!

I know it works for alot of Ladies, but I won't take that chance right now with my Hair to use that Henna. Plus, I am relaxed and I want to be absolutely certain it is BAQ!
I use it straight. I don't want to chance my Results coming out to something I didn't want.
erplexed It takes too long to mess up. So, I may add a drop of Amla into it, to darken it, but I've never added: all that Conditioner, Coffee/Tea/Wine etc.......So, I use it according to the directions.I don't want to experiment with it like that.
And since my results have always been "Perfect" No use in messing with Perfection.
The Key for me is to make sure I am using Good Henna. And that My Hair is Moisturized to the Max. I think the Co-Washing, the Rinsing out with Conditioner and DC-ing afterwards has yielded me great results.

I agree Terri. I did my henna treatment straight last night and loved it. I will be doing it this way again.

Go hard or go home, right? BJ (Hairveda) does customize if you ask.
Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't see any of her products having my two exception synthetic preservatives which are Phenoxyethanol and Optician.
Its mad expensive to use those two preservatives I believe. That's why there is such a price difference between Shescentit conditioners.
But some of Shescentit's conditioners I make an exception for
. Like the Banana Brulee and such.

Good Girl.
I am going to continue to use stuff up as well and keep things limited. (Especially) after I had that crazy relapse.
