Apparently we can ditch that last blog entry about the hair routine for the time being. My coworker’s sent me her henna recipe. Hopefully it’ll loosen my hair texture + impart color! Crossing my fingers on this one. I used henna once, but it scared me because I couldn’t get it out. Now I have to figure out, though, when I’m going to do this. Saturday mornings? Because the thing is, the stuff has to sit overnight, and it takes three whole hours to sit. Good god.
Anyway. Here’s Meli’s text:
1) take about 1 cup or henna
2) add yogurt to it …
3) add an egg white to it
4) add 2 spoons of coffee powder and alittle (1/4 teaspoon [i assume teaspoon because it's so small]) concentrated tea water …
5) 2 spoons of oil any oil will do (olive , coconut )
6) add about 10 drops of [assuming lime or lemon juice here] (not too much … )
– Mix well .. thickness as much as cake batter …
– well keep over night …
– apply on head till all is covered
– keep for 3 hrs [ =[ This is the thing I hate most about henna... ]
– thn just wash it off with water (no shampoo)
– once hair is dry put oil well … keep atleast for 8hrs [If I can, I might sit under heat for awhile after...]
– then wash with shampoo n conditioner …
Do this every week for 2 months … Then once in 2 week for 2 months … and then once a week … u will see the difference in teh 3rd week
the process is long but guaranteed results …
u can change the ingredients … the quantity is its all natural so no damage will be done ….
but put yogurt n egg white n oil … it makes the hair really good …
Gonna do this, religiously….
