Henna!

Source

Sorry I fell off for a couple of days.  I was trying to enjoy the good weather and visit friends!

But I did use the henna that I bought on Friday. First, I applied my Herbal Essences (HE) Break's Over condition to help with finger detangling.  Then I shampooed with the Shea Moisture (SM) Moisture Retention Shampoo.  I will use it a few more times so I can give an honest review.

That day I applied a henna mixture I found from Curly Nikki.  I added a couple drops of concentrated lemon and some organic honey and regular honey.  I let it sit until the next morning at 5:30am and used up 1/2 of conditioner washing it all out. I had some henna I had gotten from a store in College Park (Smile Herb).  The henna I got from Smile Herb is not pure henna and really gritty!  The Reshma was much easier to wash out.  I did dunk my head a few times in a bucket to get out as much henna as possible first though!

Ingredients: Coconut oil (Cocos nucifere oil), Neem (Azadirachta indica Leaf extract)

Brahmi (Centella asiatica Plant extract), Fruit extracts of Amla Bahera and Harar (extracts of emblica officinalis Terminalia belirica and Terminalia chebula), Kapur kachri (Hedychium spicatum rhizome extract), Henna (Lawsonia inermis leaf extrac), Milk (lac), Rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis oil), Lemon oil (Citrus limonum oil)TBHQ (t-butyl hydroquinone) , Fragrance

I then DC'ed with my Aubrey Organics (AO) Honeysuckle Rose shampoo and mixed it with the Vatika Oil I had gotten.  I then used my new detangling comb but found it ripped out a lot of hair!!!! So I used my trusty wide toothed comb.  I may continue to use the comb but not as my primary detangling tool.  

My hair feels good, and I believe I will continue to henna.  I also really love the Vatika oil!!  It is a coconut oil mix with henna, lemon and other essential herbs and oils mixed in.  My hair loves Ayruvedic products.  I am hoping to see some changes soon because I saw breakage :(  I will most likely be doing a trim at the end of the month to cut off some of these damaged ends.  

Healthy hair first and length will follow.

Have a great week ladies!
