Henna App 4: Front of hair now 3a/b
Posted 06-17-2012 at 09:29 PM by nomadpixi
I've done yet another henna last Thursday night, to stay close to on track for my Henna Fridays. a few insights into my application:
1. I use only 2 steeped green tea bags and Nupur henna. Right now, I add 2-3tbs of indigo and some left over henna I have in my stash. I don't wait for it to cool much, applying my henna warm to my hair with gloves.
2. I apply my henna wrapped around my head like a relaxed hair "dooby" wrap. This actually helps get the hair flat to my head for sleeping in it. I think it may also help straighten it a bit as it "cures" in my hair.
3. I rinse in the sink dunking my head then add conditioner to my hair to loosen the mud, then rinse and condition my hair.
I "think" Garnier Fructis makes a dry hair conditioner that has no cones. I've been using it lately and my hair seems to like it, but I may change when I run out.
So far, my curls are loosening quite a bit but I'm fine with that. The skrinkage before was just not the business, so this is fine for me, even though the front is a lot finer than expected. I guess I have my mother's fine hair.
