what they wont tell you about Henna

[tada1]

So i just did my very first Henna treatment. My hair feels ALOT stronger but I digress.

To all my ladies that henna or are even thinking about going the henna route. PLEASE clean your ears with cotton buds THOROUGHLY after rinsing out that green goo

I clean my ears very frequently (several times a week) so i know all the crap that came out from there today is NOT accumulation of anything. When you are rinsing out your henna, some will no doubt drip into your ears, and get caught in the little hairs in there. Please please please do not let henna dry and build up in your ears. I'm sure we all want to be able to actually hear all the compliments when we have swanging hair from henna treatments.

Sorry if i sound like your grandma....

this is too funny. sorry that happened. will you do it again tho?

 

[Pheonixx]

lol... just how soupy did you make it?
Mine was thick like playdo or clay.
I saw when I started washing it out how messy it could be...green streaks were all over the place...

I'm just glad that it didn't dry into my ear

Oh yes, i will definitely henna again. I'm still deep conditioning my hair right now, but i think i will like the color, and i absolutely love the added strength. Sadly, it adds about 2 hours to my otherwise simple routine, so i will make it a monthly treat.

Yup...mine was like playdo, so it was easy to slap on . It felt quite heavy on my head so i was eager to rinse it out after about an hour. Only to get into the shower and watch red-ish green water flow from ma head

Do you henna often?

Tada you are so sillybut maybe you should try putting cotton balls in your ears next time, to keep the stuff from getting in, just a thought

 

[Pheonixx]

You musta been fightin with that henna! lol
I was fighting to to get it out too--but I didn't get none in my ears thank god.

I just started henna-ing.
Girl...I was scared. I thought my hair was gonna come out! It was my fault.
I was like, "This what I get for not testing this mess out before I put it in my head!"

Everybody who hennas--all the websites are like, "Make sure you do a skin test before you put it on your hair..."

I said, "Yeah--ok..."
(Cause you know I'm hard-headed...)

How bout I slapped that goop right in my head and near bout had a fit. It was acting like it was gonna mat up on me when I had the clay in there!

But once I got it all rinsed out with my Creme of Nature oh it felt lovely. I can feel the difference. I will be henna-ing twice a month.

I'd probably look like Frankenstein with henna on my head and cotton balls in my ears ....I'd keep that in mind though; it could be fun to try

I dropped a dollop of henna on the bathroom floor... didnt see it... DH came in hours later and was like.. .WHOSE NASTY ARSE CRAPPED ON THE FLOOR AND HAD THE NERVE TO LEAVE IT!!!!!! After I showed him the leftover henna in the container he made comments about how BHM/LHCF women got me putting Horse doo-doo in my hair.... I tried telling him how I used Henna growing up but he just keeps on with his running jokes.... got my boys saying Mommy puts horse doo-doo in her hair

I use those plastic ear caps from Sally's whenever I use henna, it keeps it and everything else out of your ears.
