Henna Nightmare

:-) PLS NOTE THAT THIS VIDEO IS NOT MEANT TO DETER ANYONE FROM USING HENNA, IT IS JUST A WARNING ON THE PRODUCT I USED AND TO SHARE MY FUNNY EXPERIENCE. THE PRODUCET I USE DOES HAVE A TWO STEP PROCESS AND IT DOES NOT TELL YOU TO STRAIN IT. YES I DID RESEARCH THE HENNA PROCESS FIRST BUT I ORIGINALLY FOLLOWED WHAT WAS ON THE BOX PRIOR TO ADDED ADDITIONAL ITEMS, BECAUSE I DID NOT LIKE HOW HARD THIS PRODUCT MADE MY HAIR. I HAVE SINCE HENNED MY HAIR SUCCESSFULLY MANY TIMES. I'VE USED www.essentialbalms.com WHICH I STILL HAVE AND LIKE AND I'VE USED HENNAFORHAIR.COM

I feel your pain, except, the first disaster i had was with henna for my skin (tattoo), and i learned a valuable lesson. It doesn't matter if u are using henna on your skin or on your hair. I sift ALL of my henna through a pair of pantyhose (cheap ones) and i always find something left over =). This makes my henna paste smooth so I can comb it through my hair. I'm of mixed race, and my hair is down to my mid back. It's curly, wavy, and frizzy. Henna has helped a ton, and i have less breakage. =)

@SheWraith I've been putting henna in my more regular now. right now I have about 1in of new grown but I want to change my color, gonna get some red from hennaforhairdotcom. I'm almost out of the bag I bought a while back from essential balms I never had to sift it. I just added my oils and conditioner let sit for a couple hours or a day and then put it in and let sit. I want to start doing the henna tattoes as well. thanks for sharing your story.

you made a mistake, you CANT comb henna, your suppose to section your hair so you can SMOOTH it threw and SMUSH it threw. then you NEVER add OIL to henna. but about the flower thing, its GONNA be hard to get it out, your suppose to buy a WHOLE bottle of cheapie conditioner to help get the flowers out.

sorry you had a bad experience though, should have just researched it a little better.

girl next time follow directions!!!!!

[SheWraith]

@Nuru305 Good luck with your henna! I'm sure It'll look great!

Whatever it looked like before is no consequence BECAUSE you hair as shown in the video is very very attractive. Nice video

[meagane21]

the best place to go would be a Indian store they sell henna in a brown package check zam zam market online

[gospelevans]

sorry for the drama, sis. i use henna, but i got the henna from an indian store and use the same kind that they use for their hair. i used an indian herbal tea in it. i also used juice from a huge lemon in it, and 2 tablespoons of honey. i also used creamy conditioner. maybe it is the kind of henna u used. u can wash with conditioner. u should sift the henna before u use it though, sorry

@krysdots I think you should re-read you comment and yes, I am sensative because I get people like you who don't see the fun in the vidoe, instead people will call me all kinds of names, and tell me I'm stupid and I didn't follow the directions which I did. I get tired of people acting so silly over a video about henna, that's why I annotations all over the video. No body bothers to look at how old the video is. And I had already reinforced that henna was fine with my own comment.

[krysdots]

@Nuru305 ur very sensitive about this...there is no need to take it personally. I was just letting Jessieboo1991 know that henna is safe because its natural and not to be afraid of it.

[Nuru305]

@krysdots don't comment like I'm makine sht up, the product is real, the video was a warning and to share my funny experience. Yes, I was gun ho and didn't research properly but have since learned the process for my hair type and I have henned my hair many times since with no issue.

[krysdots]

@Jessieboo1991 This lady most likely used the wrong type of henna. Its best to use natural/organic henna. she talked about a 2 step process.....there is no 2 step process. you apply to your hair then rise...there is not such thing as 2nd part coloring. She should have research henna for african hair.
