3 Ways To Use Henna On Your Hair

By
Where are my henna fans? In today's post, I'm going to point out 3 ways to use henna on your hair to avoid setbacks.
A lot of readers have inundated me with questions regarding where to purchase henna and how to use it.
I can say that out of experience, there are several factors to consider before henna application.
***Do you want a dye release such that you end up with some colour like I had? When the dye is released, you get a reddish tint it hue.
***Do you want just a gloss? Then, don't leave it to sit for long. As soon as you mix your henna, apply, leave it on for just some minutes and rinse.
***Do you want black hair? Add indigo( check African Emprezz on Facebook)
***You can mix a bit of henna in your conditioner to strengthen your hair; just don't use too much else you'll get a dye release.
**Be sure to deep condition your hair after the treatment IF you were aiming for dye release else be ready for hard, straw like hair.
After all is said and done, the choice to use henna shouldn't be a one off thing. Read and read about it before application.

    I added coconut milk, egg and my oils to the henna before applying it on my hair. I did not deep condition after but my hair felt soft and I enjoyed it.

Washing Your Hair In Harmattan

By
With this year's harmattan being so severe, protective styling is definitely a must. Unfortunately, I can't wear any styles yet with this short hair do what can i do? Right from the wash day, my attention has been on preventing moisture loss. This means from the shampoo process to the sealing process, each step involves maximizing moisture. I probably shampoo once every 2 weeks but I water rinse very often. This keeps the moisture levels up as well as keeping the hair less dirty.  I do well to sprit z the hair each morning before anything is done. With the new growth so thick, getting the hair damp is very crucial for moisture retention. I love length but moisture retention during this time of year is the key to a healthy hair. Another form of moisture retention technique I employ is ensuring that the deep conditioners and conditioners I use are moisture based. The Sheamoisture manuka honey conditioner is amazing at this and I really love.  The next thing I want to invest in i...
