So, after weeks of anticipation, I finally did my first henna treatment last night. Here’s what I did:
Recipe:
100g henna
½ cup lemon juice
1 cup fresh brewed coffee
5 tbsp amla oil
5 tbsp olive oil
I let the mixture sit for about 1 hr (I wasn’t so concerned with the color effects, so I didn’t let it sit very long). After applying henna, I let it sit on my hair for about 2.5 hours. Then rinsed and shampooed with Motions Lavish Conditioning Shampoo and followed with 1 hr DC with Motions After Shampoo Moisture Plus Conditioner. Then I applied leave-ins, did a wet wrap and slept overnight (which I do frequently).
When I woke up this morning my hair was soooo DRY and brittle. By noon, I had to moisturize 3 times with NTM and mango butter. Any thoughts on why this unusual dryness?
