Need tips for Henna mixing

hi sandee,
hope this helps u
i dont think u can avoid a bit of colour change when using henna, may be when u keep it on hair for a lesser time u dont get too much colour.
I'll TELL U MY HENNA MIX : henna powder, 1 lime, egg white(i use 2 egg's white, my hair is upto waist), curd. i dont use water at all, since i have dry hair. when i get ripened avocado i use them with this too. n i have a homemade shikkakai powder (with lots of herbs) so i use 2 to 3 teaspoons of that too.
attimes henna conditioning dry down your hair too, so oil it before applying.

 

henna is not goor for hair it makes your hair more dry each hair will be coated with henna gradually each strand will become and it will lead to hair fall specially for thin hair

 

Hi ,

Can you give the ingredients and how to prepare home made shikakai powder?:thumbsup

 

hi keethi
the one which i prepared is :
shikakai, poongakai, moon dal, lots n lots of hibiscus flowers and leaves, dried amla, vettiver, little orange skin n lemon skin, methi, little tulsi, little neem n if u ask in kadhi shop or nattu marundhu kadai for shikakai powder, they'll give u a packet which have all these plus some more items too, i used one of that packet too and finally a handfull of rice.

all dried n grounded

 

there is nothing like henna is bad for hair, u have to oil the hair amply before applying henna n mix a lot of curd with henna , that too when u mix avacado it almost dont dry ur hair at all.
n for wash u either use a shampoo with conditioner or shampoo n also conditioner.

its better u dont wash ur hair with hot water, either warm or normal water wud do.

i use henna every month atleast twice, n atleast for a week after using henna i feel my hair soft n manegable n looking with so much life, infact i naturally have a dry hair.
