Alex's Henna Mix:
1 box of Jamila Henna
1 Rosemary and Candula Tea Bag
2 cups of warm water (steep the tea bag for 10 minutes)
2 oz of HairVeda's Vatika Oil
1/2 cup of Hello Hydration Conditioner
I mixed the above ingredients until it was creamy and smooth in consistency then I covered the mix for about 15 minutes. Before I applied the henna I spritzed my hair with Green Tea and rinsed with warm water then I towel dried and applied the henna in sections. Once my hair was completely saturated with henna I covered my hair with 2 shower caps (I have too much hair now to use just one, LOL) and my satin bonnet. I plan on letting the henna stay on my hair for about 6 hours. I am in major need of a good DC and since I am off work today, why not make it an all day hair affair?

I keep telling myself I'm going to give henna a try. I'll keep your reading your story and see how it goes for you since we have very similar hair textures.
I did my first henna treatment this past weekend and I'm in love! Next weekend I'm gonna use the left over henna, mixed with conditioner and oil.
Can't wait to see how it comes out.
Where did you get the Henna?
I finally got some courage to try henna in my hair last night. I love the way my hair feels and looks. I will definitely be doing it again. But wait. I didn't realize you could use it every week, that's awesome news, thanks. I think I just found my new natural deep conditioner. Thanks lady (:
very nice results! :)
Did you DC immediately after washing the henna out? I always make sure I do because otherwise my hair will be dry & stuff! :]
@Kani I use the Henna as a DC so I don't DC afterwards. I co-wash the henna out to avoid the dry feeling that some other naturals have been left with. I haven't had any issues with it leaving my hair dry and stiff thus far.
Oh, okay, awesome! :]
what are the benefits of henna for natural hair?
