Henna

Hi,

Could you tell me which henna is good for hair?


Thanks,
Roja

Dear Roja ,
Any branded henna powder is good for hair - only thing is u should not apply henna alone on ur hair . It should be mixed with curd ( for smoothness ) , egg white ( for conditioning ) & tea dicoction ( for added shine & lovely colour) . Better u mix curd & tea dicoction the previous night & add egg white the moment u apply on hair , ok ? Bye .

Hi Rekha ,
Sorry for the delay . The proportions :

Henna - 8 tablespoons
tea dicoction - 4 tablespoons
curd - 3 tablespoons
egg - 1 ( egg white alone is enough - if u don't mind the smell .... u add the yellow portion of the egg too which gives bounce to hair !) If u have sinus trouble , add 5 drops of eaucalyptus oil , ok ?
Bye from ,

Hi Indhu,

Thanks for your response. One more quesition. Please tell me if it is enough to leave the henna on my hair for 3 hours? Also, I have seen some threads that say I should oil my hair before applying henna as henna is very dry, and some say to avoid oil as it prevents from coloring your hair? Any suggestions? what are your observations? Any other ILites who would like to share their opinion?

Thanks again,
Rekha

Depends on whether you want to condition your hair or colour your hair. If you want to colour your hair you have to leave it for a long time. In case you just want to condition your hair you can rinse after 1.5 hours.

Oiling the hair also depends on whether you wanna condition your hair or colour your hair.

in case you wanna colour your hair you need to rinse your hair with mild REMEMBER MILD shampoo and then oil hair after dry and wash again.

In case you are just looking out for conditioning your hair you can oil, wash and henna or henna, wash and oil.

I hope this clarifies your doubts.
