My First Cassia Treatment

Hello Beautiful Readers!

Long time no blog, I have been super busy but starting today I am back in action!

For the past two months I have had a weave install in for my protective challenge.

I loved it! I am glad I was able to give my hair a much needed break.

Anyways, it took me about 45 minutes to take down my weave.

It was a pain but I got it done.

I was shocked at how much new growth I had and I was SUPER EXCITED!

After looking in the mirror for a good 10 minutes in AWE at my hair I decided it was time to wash it.

My hair was filthy and my scalp was BEYOND disgusting.

I washed with Giovanni's "Smooth as Silk" Organic Hair Care shampoo and followed up with the matching conditioner.

I purchased her "Smooth as Silk" set from Target and I must say I love it!

It took a few washes to get my hair clean and LOTS of conditioner to help de-tangle

but the end result were satisfying and I was ready to apply my Cassia Henna.

The Cassia powder smelled awful once I added the boiling water.

Kinda like wet grass. *smelly* 

I added coconut oil for extra moisture and lathered it on my head.

Here is what it looked like before I put it on my hair:

*If you are going to try this BEWARE, lol, it is very messy!*

After my hair was fully saturated with the Cassia, I covered it with a plastic cap and let it sit for about 2 hours.

Rinsing it out was a pain but I used conditioner to help me do the job and after about 10 minutes, it was all out.

Final Thoughts: I will def be trying this again. My hair felt hydrated and soft after the treatment was rinsed out.

Although it is a very messy task, I plan on trying to do it every 3 months.

I would recommend that you all try it, at least once.
