I have very dry course hair and was experiencing hair loss every time I touched my hair to style or clean. I used your henna tutorial with a few modifications...I used neutral henna because I did not want to alter my hair color, for my conditioner I used yes to carrots mask and for my oil I used coconut. I have noticed that my hair is much softer, shinier and more importantly that I am not losing hair whenever I do twists. My hair was growing despite the hair loss but I am confident that I will see even more impressive hair growth with the addittion of henna to my regimen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619950971211244776.post-21285695011095899702011-01-03T23:32:05.204-08:002011-01-03T23:32:05.204-08:00Hello MoptopMaven, I have to say you're blog h...Hello MoptopMaven, I have to say you're blog has the most comprehensive answers to my natural hair journey...thanks so much for this...I'm a Natural Hair Novice, so can you please explain what the INDIGO TREATMENT is?

I did 1 full treatment...and each week I have done a henna gloss. This week, I used a protein vatika conditioner for my gloss and noticed a few clumps of shed hair when I rinsed. I haven't detangled in a few weeks, but I co-wash daily to control tangles and haven't ever noticed clumps. Could it be over henna-ing or the protein mix, in your opinion? I have been henna-ing a lot to get my hair stronger and will slow it down as I approach my desired length...or at least that was the plan. Why do you only do it every 6-8 weeks? Do you ever do a full strength treatment at this point?Loriannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619950971211244776.post-32805274364953113452010-09-03T18:57:19.344-07:002010-09-03T18:57:19.344-07:00what can i do with left over henna or indigo after...what can i do with left over henna or indigo after I mix them up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619950971211244776.post-81011205863868565452010-09-03T18:44:17.492-07:002010-09-03T18:44:17.492-07:00Great site, beautiful hair.

It primarily focuses on tatoos but discusses the conerning ingredient parahenylenediamine. A lot of the henna boxes claim "no PPD" but how do you know for sure if everything is written in sanskrit?

I purchased the Jamila henna but was disappointed to know that the ingredients list was in sanskrit. I researched henna as much as possible from blogs to academic articles and medical journals and almost all of them had in their conclsuion the high risk of an allergic response from the henna when used on skin. Granted we are using the henna on our hair for its conditoning and strengthening capabilities but are there brands that you would recommend for consumers such as myself who want to know what is in their product? I would love to try the henna if I knew what was in it...I ended up purchasing naturatint from wholefoods to color my hair instead.<br />Blessings!
