HENNA!!!!

Hey Ladies,

As promised I did a henna treatment!!! This was my first time so I took a little bit of advice from many people with wonderful hair!! I used many different ingredients I added to the henna. I wasn't really looking for color, but the moisturizing benefits of Henna. It was a little messy but I kept it under control and layered the bathroom floor with newspaper.

Here's the list of stuff I used -
Rainbow brand brown henna
Plain yogurt
Honey - humectant
Coconut Oil
Rosemary EO
Paprika (a Indian lady told me to add that)
Lemon Juice

Ok after I got the henna in my hair I sat under the heating cap for almost 3 hours & re-wetting the hair with lemon juice every hour. I rinsed the henna out of my hair in the kitchen sink instead of the shower because I was scared it would stain the tub.
(After taking the heating Cap off)

I rinsed my hair nearly 8 times including the shampoos. I didn’t realize how gritty the henna was and I noticed tiny twigs and grit!! So, the next henna treatment I will be sifting and straining the henna before using it. After all of the rinsing and washing I parted my hair and put on my fav moisturizing conditioner & oil and sat under the heating cap for 45 minutes. After rinsing the Deep conditioner out I parted may fro in 4 sections, put my hair in 4 puff balls, put my silk scarf on and went to bed!

My hair this morning before going to church was so so so extra soft and manageable all day!! I can't wait to henna again

Nappturally Yours,

My Hair Idols

1. Latisha G. - Tisha is such a inspiration to me in many ways! She's a Sister, a mentor, a friend, praying warrior & my hair idol. Her hair is so beautiful, healthy, thick and similar to my texture. I tell her about tricks I've tried when we talk and she tells me about the ones she's tried. She inspires me to continue wearing my hair natural because of her free spirit and self confidence. The unique thing about Tish being my #1 idol is that she doesn't even know it LOL

2. My next hair idol is Singer Ledisi. Ledesi is my hair idol because she's done 2 things I'm afraid to do. 1. loc my hair and 2. color my hair. I'm so afraid if I start locks I wont like them and will have to start all over and color I'm afraid I'll choose the wrong color. The red in her beautiful locs to me represents she's not afraid to do anything, to me she has a daring un-tamable beauty that can't be put into a box and a voice that will knock your socks off!!

3. Last but certainly not least would be Curly Nikki! I so and I mean so envy her hair!!! Man I wish my hair was like hers!!! She is just awesome!! my hair type is not like hers but Lord knows if my hair was as healthy as hers I would be just as happy. I'm aiming for her length I want to be able to shake my hair LOL! The TWA is taking it's time growing at least it seems that way.
