My Henna, Indigo and Wrap up

I dyed my hair with henna and indigo to get it jet black. I hate how long the process is, but i love that it is all natural. My hair felt dry afterwards which was something else i hated (think it was the lemon juice). I ordered a lot of it so i will have to find ways to make it less drying to my hair. Any suggestions are welcome :) !!

where did you order you henna?

[reshon30]

@kdnbella I ordered it from Mehandi.com :) . You need to make sure any henna you buy is BAQ (Body Art Quality) and not a compound henna. Compound hennas have other "things" added to them. There is no such thing as color hennas, those are compounds.

I mix mine w/ olive oil and cider vinegar instead of lemon juice and I noticed a big difference in dryness. Let me know if u decide to sell yours. I will gladly buy it. I was going to order some tmw anyway.

Omg, i never saw this til today! I have been so out of it so i sincerely apologize. I ended up using it, i added olive oil to it and mixed it with orange juice and i loved the results! I am so sorry to be getting back to you this late!

Nice results. I think its the acid in the lemon juice making your hair dry rather than the henna. I read that some people use chamomile tea instead.

hey reshon..i've been thinking of doing a henna and indigo treatment.(am going for a jet black look)..my hair is relaxed and has never been colour treated...but i'm not sure of the exact measuements in doing this...my hair is neck length, if it helps...plz send me the measurements that u used..and i mean avery little detail..lol...and 1 more question...by adding olive oil does it make the colour change or will my hair still turn out pure black??

Hi Mzbarbie06! Thanks so much for taking the time out to send me a message! Actually, i did another henna not long ago and i was pleased with the results! Yeah i know about protein overload but this time i added olive oil and my hair has been fine! Just have to tweak things sometimes :). But thankyou for your help :). It is appreciated!!

[Mzbarbie06]

I figured you would still want sum info on why your hair is so dry after a henna treatment. Henna is a PROTEIN treatment... meaning it is supposed to add strength to the hair. If your hair is already strong and has all the protien that it needs added protien will result in EXTREMELY dry hair You can actually look this up on youtube Its called protein overload I hope I helped!

Hi! It is nice to meet someone else that uses the indigo with the henna. How are you adding the oils and butters into it? I need help please (lol)!!! The strength is awesome, but i hate my brillo pad feel :(. Always good and bad to everything (sigh).
