H3- Henna Cubed

HERicane10 · Jan 9, 2007

I just had to share my "secret" recipe: The 3 H's to moist, shiney, strong hair!
I mixed: Henna, Hot Water, & Honey. THAT"S IT! No oil, no acid, no juice/coffe/wine, no other nuts & berries (& I really loove nuts & berries :lol:

).
My hair was so ingredibly moist, yet strong. I still DC'd, but I could have just oiled and airdryed. My hair felt incredible.

Please share your "Moist Hair" Henna Recipe.

Honey is da lick!!

My henna treatment includes henna, honey, mild protein conditioner, evoo, jojoba oil, amla powder, indigo (so it doesn't get too red).

I love it!

Honey, huh?

I'm trying to keep my henna mixes as simple as possible, using hot coffee & oils this last time, planning to add yogurt the next, but the benefits of honey are undeniable!

I must include sweet ole' honey next time.

Thanx for the info!

That sounds like a great recipe. I use cassia instead of henna, but I think I'll add honey to it and see what happens.

Interesting, I think I'll try this. Very simple. I likey!

The henna I have says to use lukewarm water. Do you think it will have a negative effect if I use hot water instead? My henna did come w/ honey. I can't wait to try it!

Lately, I've been using henna, hot water and a few squeezes of conditioner. That is all.

Well, I use the hot water from my faucet (which is probably 110 degrees) :look:

. What type of henna did you get that CAME WITH honey?

alexei · Jan 9, 2007

Hmm, this sounds great.
I have never henna'd but really wanna try it once I get these braids out.
Does this H3 formula deposit a color?
I really want to keep my hair this exact same shade of black.

TIA

HERicane10 · Jan 9, 2007

I no longer wait for color release either. I mix, apply immediately, leave on 30 minutes (45 if I get sidetracked) and then rinse. I still color my hair black, but with this method I don't notice any color change until I henna my newgrowth (even that is after several applications though).

GoldenBreeze · Jan 10, 2007

When I first started using henna, I only used henna and hot water.
I use the cheap (unsifted) henna so it is difficult to rinse out. Finally,
I started adding conditioner or plain yogurt. Boy was I surprised at
all the different recipies when I joined lhcf.

I got Surya henna. I will try with hot water today, but next time I think I want to try it with yogurt.

JustKiya · Jan 10, 2007

Ooohh - that sounds so wonderful and decandent! I'm definitely going to have to try that out next time I henna....

mw138 · Jan 10, 2007

I used coffee, cinnamon, and alma powder in my henna.

I've tried it with the yogurt as well. I don't think I'll do it that way anymore because it was a little to much "strength". Yogurt is a natural hair strengthner ALONE, so adding henna to (depends on amount I guess) just seems to intensify the treatment. I have medium-fine hair, so I can take a little more protein than most; but that combo left my hair hard feeling, even after DC. Good luck to you. HECK! Just add some honey girl (it fixes all hair wrongs :lol:

)

Thanks. I'll report back and post pictures tonight.

I've never had any problem w/henna and dryness; quite the opposite, strong and shiny, with my simple mix:

1/3 cu acv, w/a little wime
1/3 cu hot (nr boiling) water OR grape juice
Let it sit 12 hrs for dye release
Mix in 1 Tbsp. Avocado Oil
Put henna on hair overnight
Rinse out in shower
Condition (either w/heat or alone) with Tropical Avocado conditioner OR do a hot oil treatment

Kinda off topic, what I found shocking were the number of hair stylists that tried to dis-suade me from using henna, saying that it coated the hair & prevented conditioners from penetrating, when I found this to be totally untrue, at least for me. They would rather ruin my hair with caustic hair dyes! Henna for life, baby!
