Happy Hump Day everyone, I hope your week is going well.
If you’ve been with me for a while you’ll know that I incorporate Ayurvedic treatments into my regimen. Towards the second half of 2012, I slowed down with doing Cassia treatments or Henna glosses because I felt like my curl pattern was loosening a teeny bit, especially towards the front of my hair. I always added Amla powder to my treatments but to me my pattern was still kinda different. *shrugs*. I decided to just add Amla and other powders to my deep conditioners.
It could have been my imagination or it could just be that my hair is growing out. I honestly miss the days when my hair was shorter and it “stood up”. Weird I know, but that’s just me.
My friend Yemi from Shakara Natural Tips actually surprised me with a packet of Moroccan Henna. I was really excited to try it because she’s been using it for a while and she raves about it all the time. (She now sells it and many other items in her online store.)
As expected my hair felt stronger and well conditioned after the treatment, there was no “straw like” feeling that is commonly associated with full strength henna treatments. This picture was taken 2 days after the treatment and it was very cloudy outside, but if you look closely, you can see that my grays have a golden tinge to them, and my hair has a light burgundy tint. I can deal with that for now. 🙂
I plan to continue doing full Amla treatments on a bi-weekly basis in an effort to darken the grays a bit over time. I still have a few packets of Cassia left, so I’ll use those up as well, but I’ll definitely give Moroccan Henna a try again, I really liked the results.
Do you use Henna? Do you have a favorite kind/brand? Please feel free to share your experiences below.
Until next time
I bought the rhassoul clay from her this past weekend, but I guess the moroccan henna is worth trying. I stopped Henna treatments because they’re stinky and messy. I’m not thinking abot re-introducing it to my regimen.
