I'm going to go pick up my ayrunaturals & 3 out of 4 pairs of shoes after work tonight.

I'm going to need to sort my closet to fit all the henna. I'm going to henna next week just don't know which day yet.

I've noticed that the smaller companies have really been stepping up there CS and picking up extra business becuz of it

I Keep Mine in the Freezer....

You Don't?

How Long will that much Henna last you Vonnie?

@1st Bolded. What was I thinking? How often do they have Sales????

@2nd Bolded. Folx need to take Notice of this Practice right here.

I don't think she has many sales that are 20% or 25%. I believe her last one was in Sept and it was 25%. I STOCKED up on 20 boxes Kalpi-tone, and 25 boxes henna. It was a birthday sale.

[EllePixie]

25 boxes?! Dang...that would last me like two years. I only do treatments monthly or every other month and use about a box per treatment.

Oh, and hey y'all!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I just Labeled my Oils in my 2 ounce Pointy Tipped Bottles. I'm using most of the 10!

Since I only use 50g at a time, I'm hoping a whole year. So, I'm hoping it takes me to 3 legs of the no-buy challenge.

I love hennaing and my hair has never felt this strong in my life!!! I got my routine down pat. I 'member the 1st time I did it my hair was as dry as paper and I wanted to cry. I re-read that gigantic HENNA thread and it finally sunk in that I needed to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. That's when Sitrinillah became my best friend.

Now, I don't know what I would do if I couldn't henna. My hair loves it and my moisture level is on point!!

Girl....I've been waiting to hear how Your Henna Turned Out!!

How's your Hair Look? Is it BROWN??????

Oh, and hey y'all!

I henna every 7 to 10 days and don't do hard-protein treatments EVAH! I'll use a reconstructor every once in a while, though.

Yep. ITA

This is very, very Important to the Entire Process.

To Me, this is the most important aspect of successfully Henna'ing. You Gotta Get that Moisture Back In

It's not brown but it's a darker auburn and it doesn't look as ridiculous. For you, T, I has a pichaaaa...

Ah, gotcha!!! I started out doing henna every other week but even without extra PTs my hair was like girl bye... I do like my steamer though b/c I can use protein condishes now. Nothing like Aphogee though...no ma'am! And yes, moisture is key! I find it interesting when people call henna drying yet they never DC after? Hmmmm?

 

[Pompous Blue]

Oh, Elle, My Gawd! That color is simply gorgeous on you.....What stunning eye candy!

Girl, that's Real Purty!

Do you remember your Ratios?

When are you going to do it again?

Very, Very Nice. Thanks for Sharing.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I've been keeping it in my closet. I usually only have 4-6 packages. I always freeze my leftover mixes

I will put this purchase in my deep freezer. I got like 9 or 11 packages plus tulsi & something else for face.

I guess u do it like coffee how ppl put that in the freezer (I'm not a coffee drinker)

Thanks boo, and yes, I do! I used about 75g each of henna and indigo, maybe a little more henna because I was overfilling my tupperware lol...oh and I added about 25g of hibiscus to it with my brahmi oil.

I prob won't do it for another month...I got a bunch of powders I wanna play with and some protein condishes I wanna try. I really just want to get rid of the henna I have and then let my color grow out, because I want highlights or something in a year or two.

Exactly. I Do & I Am...

But Only in the Winter tho'

I Keep my Coffee in the Freezer.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Love the hair Elle!

I wish I had gotten more Cassia so I can do that between my Henna. I'm going to keep henna-ing once a month

I don't know how u can henna and not DC after. My hair is so dry after its only natural to DC just so I can work with it.

Pomp do u full henna each time or just do glosses sometimes?

This is it! My sister wants her hair this color and the hibiscus would do it.....

Thank you for the recipe. I've cut and pasted it in my henna file.

Lol you're welcome! The hisbiscus gives a nice little cherry kick.

ALSO - has anyone eaten their hibiscus? I read you can put it in drinks as well and it's yummy! It tastes like sweet tarts.

 

[Pompous Blue]

I full henna each time. Once a month I add Katam (brown plant die) to my mix to keep my grays at bay....But you know, I steam for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs with the henna. I don't let it sit for hours. Rinse out and DC for 30 min to an hr with steam.

I ordered some cassia last Sept, too, and have not used it yet. Bought 5 pkgs. I haven't gotten around to reading the cassia thread. I am going to get to it soon, though, 'cause I don't want to waste it.

What's your cassia mix?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Red was telling me she uses a Tblspn of JBCO w/her KBB Hair Mask.

I may try this next time I use it.

I'll prolly use Komaza again next wash day.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

This was my first time so I don't know how great this mix is. I have my henna mix down pack

50g Cassia
2 tbsp hibiscus (more for conditioning and just cuz)
1 to 1.5cups warm water
1/4 cup yogurt
Splash of HOT oil

It came out nice and smooth. I left it on for 5hrs (fell asleep). Rinsed and short DC.
I liked that it was quick and easy-no gloves needed
I'm up for trying new recipes for Cassia

I need a tan, are there some powders that I can make ghetto faux tan with?

I use the flowers to make tea. Its really really good

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm glad I didn't get into "Powders...." I was almost on that, but didn't quite 'go there'. *whew...wipes forehead*

Maybe because I hate mixing stuff up (except Henna/Indigo) But....That's a must.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ask some of Your "OTHER" Friends.....

I'm sure they can help you with that.

 

[chebaby]

speaking of powders, tomorrow i am going to mix some bringraj powder with evoo and giovanii sas conditioner to co wash with.

hi everyone
today i co washed with abba mask and let my hair air dry with kbb milk. then i added my new head bands i got from sallys. the first one felt fine but this one is so damn tight. urg. it is so hard to find comfortable headbands that dont hurt.

 

[chebaby]

i might try that subbing jbco for cocasta. i havent used it in a while and need to get rid of it.

Imma try it. Just to see what it's like.

 

[Day36]
