Question for those who use henna. Would I get a color deposit if I infused henna in oil?

I have some nupur henna that I would like to use up. Thing is I like my hair black and don't want the red color deposit.

I think it depends on the amount of henna in the mix. I bought a commercially prepared henna serum that leaves zero color deposits on your hair.

So, you don't need to add a lot of henna to the mix to see benefits. You could also consider using cassia which doesn't leave color deposit either.

I've never had that happen when I've used an Oil w/Henna in it.

:orders: Calling @Aggie @Lita @GGsKin @Ltown and other Henna Users in here.

From what I can remember, I've never infused henna in oil before. I tend to only use henna as a full strength treatment.

How long are you "Infusing" your Oil(s)? I'm infusing Chebe Powder & Grapeseed Oil.

My oil infusions can be going from weeks to a few months :look:. I'm only just finishing my batch of calendula+ fenugreek oil infusion that I made in the summer. Initially, I would top up the oil, whenever I used it.

Has anyone ever bottled up their bentonite or rhassoul clay mix for the road? I’m going on vaca and don’t think I can part without it. I know Naturalicious sells a it but it’s $20+ which makes no sense to me. I can’t in good conscience pay that much.

I would assume some natural preservatives would be needed to last about a week? Any ideas?

I'm curious to know as well...

Ok ladies, checking in for the first time.:wave:
So, I started with the fermented rice water two weeks ago and also made fenugreek coffee oil. Both made my hair feel great. Really strong.
Made a batch of fermented rice water with slippery elm bark/marshmallow root that I forgot in the cupboard for about a week. Welp, it led me to an awesome discovery. The slippery elm bark/marshmallow root coupled with the fermented rice water gives tremendous slip and protein. I ended up diluting it with aloe Vera juice and it was the bomb!!

This weekend, I made a fenugreek, Amla hairmask, which was kind of a bust, but only because I have lots of bits in my hair. But, my hair still feels great. I also added onion juice to my scalp, which feels lovely. I ended up washing out, and using Motion’s CPR along with some other hair mask (I forget the name), then using a ton of leave on, oil, and mango butter and lanolin butter as a sealer and rounding it off with my fenugreek, coffee oil. Suffice it to say, my hair is supper moist and wrapped up extra nice under my silk scarf til I go out.

Happy Hair growing.

So, I tried out the process suggested by the video I posted about using fenugreek.

I tried it on Belle Bar Intense Fenugreek mask. I took 1 Tbsp in hot water than let it sit. It definitely doubled in size and released quite a bit of mucilage.

I ran out of white rice so I tried using brown instead. My first batch wasn't as milky as I liked so I made a second batch this week where I ground up the rice first. Inspired by rice grits and jok/congee recipes, I drained the water and am currently cooking the rice bits.

I'm using the last of these bars this weekend. I still have about 200g of CS henna and 500g of sukesh ayurveda powder from hennasooq. I could make more bars but I do have a lot of DCs to use up so I'll just make glosses until the stash clears out.

That sounds similar to what this youtuber did. Maybe you should give it another shot?

Mahabhringaraj oil
Tried it out for the first time this weekend. My scalp was slightly tender after my wash which concerns me a little bit. Not sure if I'll give it another go or not.

Rhassoul clay
Washed again with rhassoul clay. My hair is soft and moisturized but slightly oily which is new for me. My hair feels clean and scalp is clean, but it is slightly oily, lol. I dont think it's the rhassoul clay's fault since I've been slathering my hair in shea butter between wash days. I'll try mixing the rhassoul with bentonite clay to make the clay wash more cleansing in order to wash away the extra shea. But so far so good with the clay washes.
