I'm glad you liked it JoJo . I like all of the Suave Natural conditioners but I LOVE the Everlasting Sunshine. Every time there is a sale I stock up buying 5 or more at a time.

Will do the same! I intend to contact your Curl Whisperer to see if there is a Devacut specialist in Orlando.

Ok I have been lurking here for a few hours I am interested in Henna but I don't have any idea where to start?? I recently colored my hair back to black I'm not worried about the color effects of henna but I want the strengthening effects. I just don't know what brand to use? What to mix it with? And what is the difference between henna and henna gloss??

Good information. Mehandi.com also has a free ebook about henna. The owner has literally written a book about the subject.

I mix half a can of coconut milk and just enough marshmallow root tea to make it pancake batter consistency.

Jamila releases color quickly. I usually check for color release in an hour and a half. I leave it on for at least 3 hours. I like to leave it on for 6. Sometimes I steam my henna in. I don't sleep in it because the one time I did my hair that was squished, was very tangly.
I rinse with conditioner and then I dc at least as long as I had henna in my hair. Let the color develop over 3 days before cowashing/washing.
