Hey Ladies!
So I was taking a break from studying and went to look at my hairs in the mirror....and saw some silvers that had grown in since my last semi-permanent dye job. So I decided to henna. However, as dry as my hair is (with the cold weather and my dye job) I wanted to make sure my hair didn't completely snap off of my head. Sooooo.... I mixed my Jamila Henna, Bentonite Clay, honey, olive oil, warm water, a little AVJ, and some peppermint oil together, put it on my hair, and wrapped my hair in a plastic bag and let it marinate for about 30 minutes or so.
When I washed it out (plain water first, and which was VERY easy) my grays were a light sparkly red, and my hair was SOFT. OOOOH! So then I conditioned with AO Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner, left that on with my heat cap for about 20 min, then let the conditioner cool down before rinsing with cool water.
My hair is butta......first time in a looooong time it's felt like this! I then styled with homemade flaxseed gel (another post, another story) and was truly feeling myself.
Now to the point of this post: Has anyone else ever done this? If so, what were the long term effects? Right now my hair is still on my head so I can't complain!
I'm thinking the clay balances the drying properties of the henna and gave me soft, lightly colored hair.....What do ya'll think? I'll let you know if I experience any shedding / breakage / mass chaos on my head......
