hi ladies, yesterday I finally henna my hair. It was my first time and I did a mixture of 1/2 henna, 1/2 indigo and left it on my hair for a good 5-6 hours. I deep conditioned afterwards and my hair felt good. I am currently transitioning. The few grays I have are a light reddish tone. Just want to thank @ElevatedEnergy for answering all my questions :yep:. I'm gonna henna again doing the roots only this Friday and sleep with it in my hair. My entire day was ate up yesterday doing my hair. i will use more like 75% indigo and 25% henna mix. I used hot water to mix and had let my henna mixture sit overnight in a glass jar. I need my grays to color more deeply.

What’s the purpose of using Indigo? I thought it was only used to dye hair black after a henna treatment...

I ended up making too much tea so I will rinsing my hair with my mix of nettle, burdock, AVJ, avocado oil, rosemary essential oil, everyday.

I put the tea rinse in my hair right before I start to shower, cover my hair and rinse it out when I am done. I notice that my scalp is starting to feel no so tight anymore.

Was trying to make a leave-in with marshmallow root and slippery elm, for slip. I decided to add burdock root and nettle to the tea. Will see how it turns out. Once it cools, I will add aloe Vera juice, rosemary essential oil and avocado oil.

I will use this to spray on my scalp and leave on my hair.

For my clay wash on Monday night, I made a separate mix for my scalp, adding neem powder. First time use, but I've been forgetting to try it for some time now.

I already mixed rhassoul and c.bentonite powders and forgot SAA this time round. I used a small ramekin to mix up 1:1 of clay and neem and added a little water to make a thick paste. Applied this liberally to wet roots, massaging. Then I used the other mix (with hibiscus tea) on my length, leaving for at least 30mins.

After rinsing, I smoothed some Shea butter mix on my ends and finished with diluted KCCC.

The middle of my banana clip is still damp but my hair feels soft and is moisturised. I'm supposed to twist these loose ends up but I'm taking liberties.

Steeping some Burdock root tea to add to a treatment today.
do you just make a cup of tea with the burdock root or do you add ingredients? and how do you use the tea in your treatment? i have some burdock root because it's supposed to be helping me with my gut imbalance, since i haven't really been drinking it, i'm interested in how to use it on my hair. thanks for any advice!
