Henna Touch-ups?

[Puddles]

[SIZE=+1]For those using henna.....how often do you henna and how do you apply it?

Do you do root only touch-ups or whole head?

Thanks for any information given. [/SIZE]

I've been doing henna treatments once a month and I do my whole head because I heard that the benefits are as a result of the accumulation of henna in the hair shaft..... If that makes any sense

Good post. I had the same questions.

Does it start to fade after a while? Does it ever fade completely?

I henna my whole head 1-2x per week! I have medium-fine hair and it thrives on protein! My har is color-treated jet black, so the color is an overcast for me & I henna so often the color CAN'T fade! I will be decreasing henna treatments to 1 a week or every 2wks, as I been doing them weekly to biweekly for about 1 1/2 months now and my hair is "fully saturated".

[SIZE=+1]Thanks Andreainnis.

This is exactly how I planned on doing touch-ups. I didn't know about the benefits.....I just didn't want the color to fade. Plus just slapping on my whole head is a lot easier. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Wow.....you have patience. I don't think I could do mine that often. I leave my henna on for 4-6 hours. I really don't like doing my hair, so to wash twice a week. That's too much for me. I'm not a very sit still patient person. Wish I was....then maybe I would do more with my hair.

Anyway....glad to hear you found what works. I'm going to try doing mine every month and see how that goes.

Thanks for sharing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1] That's what I wanted to know too. I have had my henna on my hair now for 5 days. This is my first henna. I love the color. But I don't plan on doing another one till next month. I wanna see will it fade by then.........I hope not.[/SIZE]

I do my whole head every 10 days. I've been hennaing my whole head regularly for months now and I love it!

A co-worker, w/ light brown hair, does her roots every 2 months. Her hair is light enough that repeated henna treatments would make her look like carrot top. My natural hair color is so dark I do root to tip every 7 days (that I'm not in twists or braids).

Well, I don't know about patience! I'm just on a MISSION! Plus I only keep it on 45 min. to 1 hour. I don't do it for color. My hair is color-treated jet-jet black. I hope it works well for you. I'm loving my henna experience and have even transferred that henna love to my 12 yr old daughter, who now has a beautiful rich burgundy color after 3-5 applications to her "virgin" (no color) hair!

I did my 2nd application from root to tip after 3 weeks even though the color did not fade from the first application. I don't have the patience to do it more frequently.

[SIZE=+1]Oh....OK. Since you're just leaving it on for only 45min. I understand. And you're right......I leave mine on that long for color. My hair is a deep auburn.

I was thinking of putting Cassia on my daughter's hair. She's 12 as well. [/SIZE]
