Question, though, are you reusing the bottle? TY
Yep. Just rinse and re-use. I actually have a few applicator bottles, so I make a big batch and pour enough for one application in each bottle then I put them in the freezer. This saves a lot of time since I don't need to mix each time I want to do a treatment, just de-frost and go.
I've actually cut down on my henna usage. At first I was doing it every week, then I read Mizani Mrs thread about her relaxer not taking as well as it usually does and I got scared. So I've cut back to once per month, trying to avoid the roots as much as possible during the month before my relaxer.
I think that the fact that Henna seals the cuticle so well that it may prevent the relaxer from penetrating like it normally does is a good thing for overlapping. It provides some protection against overlapping on previously relaxed ends, but I need my roots to get as straight as possible.
