Since I have decided to go natural I have treated my hair with Henna almost every four to six weeks. Henna is a natural hair dye which provides a wealth of benefits for strong, healthy hair. Henna is great for completely covering gray hair and lasts much longer then other coloring agents. For various results, Henna may be mixed with other natural coloring agents, such as Indigo, to achieve your desired look.
My Henna Mix:
100g of Body Art Quality Henna
1/2 cup of conditioner of your choice (My Preference: Say Yes to Carrots! or Herbal Essence Hello Hydration)
1/2 cup of Distilled water
2-3 drops of Peppermint Oil
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Follow these five steps to maximize your henna experience:
1. Mix ingredients to a thick paste and apply evenly throughout the hair.
*It is not necessary to wash hair prior to application.
2. Cover your hair with a plastic cap or saran wrap for at least three hours.
*This time frame may vary depending on the product used. My choice of preference is Nupur Henna because it has a wealth of other added ingredients and the processing time is shorter than any other henna product I've come across.
3. Thoroughly rinse hair free of Henna residue.
*You may also choose to lightly shampoo to ensure your hair is completely free of excess henna residue.
4. The fourth and most important step for those who may be protein sensitive, is to restore moisture back into your tresses. To do this, apply a highly moisturizing conditioner, cover your entire hair with a plastic cap, and sit under a heating cap or hooded dryer for 20-30 minutes.
5. Then you may style your hair as normal.
Though Henna is a great benefit for naturals, it also provides the same benefits for chemically treated hair. However, it is important to use body art quality Henna if your hair is chemically treated.
There are some rare cases of people who have had an allergic reaction to Henna. Thus, prior to using this product I would recommend completing a test patch to verify you do not develop any of the following symptoms:
a tight feeling in the chest, sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, and dry cough, after exposure to Henna powder or paste.
As with any product, I would recommend that you do extensive research to ensure that the product is right for you.
You can purchase Henna from the following website: http://www.hennaforhair.com/
As always, leave comments, questions, or add suggestions on how you use Henna.
Together we will accomplish our growth goals of achieving long, healthy hair. I am thoroughly enjoying this journey. Watch me grow From My Nape to my Waist....
