Rooted Yet Flowing
I sprayed my Yucca Root Wash in yesterday with the intent of letting it sit for an hour or so. Hubby asked me on a lunch date while it was marinating :eek:, so I put on a cute headwrap and sashayed right on out the door with a head full of herbal goodness underneath it.



It's still underneath that headwrap tho, a day later! LOL That's ok because I needed a nice, deep clarifying wash. I did add some Amla powder to the base this time (Yucca Root, Slippery Elm, Lavender Flowers & Nettle). I'll rinse it out once I finish my morning coffee. :lachen:

I'm in!

I am hoping to do a henna gloss fpr the first time this week. I have little idea of what I am doing. I want to use Nupur Henna with 9 ingredients because it sounds nice to have everything in it. I plan to heat 2 tbsp of that, add 2 tbsp of oil and then add in with macademia oil rinse conditioner i guess.... thats all i know.

i don't know when or if i will do a real henna treatment. i'm just doing a gloss for now.

@apple_natural :welcome:

Happy to Have You!:happydance:
Hi! Thank you for having me!

I purchased that nupur henna I mentioned. I also picked up shikakai.

I know I want to make a henna gloss. I can prepare it on Thursday. Apply it Friday night. Rinse it Saturday morning. Plait and bun to air dry Saturday during the day.

I can also start this process Wednesday so as to have dry plaits by Friday night if I have any plans.

I'll rinse it out with water w/aloe and put on my shea butter oil mixture.

I got shikakai that I want to use for my other mid week dc day (I need two a week) for a short mud wash I guess. I want to use up my cholesterol DC. I could do that. I also have a moisture DC if my hair starts snapping or something.

Classic question here: cone or no cone?

My dc has dimethicone in it. I am thinking that this will still wash out with the henna and also with the mud wash, but do you guys use cones? or even glycerin or other ingredients like these?

I tend to only use cones when I use heat for straightening. I do not like dimethicone for my hair so I try to steer clear of it for the most part. I dont like glycerin for my hair either but that tends to be in most things, especially conditioners so I tend to not use leave-ins, or I will make sure it is not in my styling products.

I mixed my henna last night. I just put in Vo5 today and added more olive oil because it seemed a bit thick. Now it's smooth. I am thinking of keeping it on for about 4 hours instead of overnight for now.... will update later
