Henna for Beginners....

So I made the plunge and purchased Henna today from Mehandi.com
Now Henna has great conditioning qualities and it makes your hair stronger with continuous use and you can safely use it to dye your hair.

I mean I can make my hair stronger AND color my hair?

Fucking great!

Curly Nikki Henna mix plus some other stuff I read:

100g of Jamila Henna
Brew mixture of 4 tea bags, 3 tbs of clove, and 1 dried lemon
2 tablespoons of Honey before applying to hair

Steps
Pour Henna into bowl
Mix cool brew in slowly until the henna is mash potato like in mixture
add acv


Cover with shower cap and let sit overnight

Once the top of the henna is brown its ready!

Add honey to stretch

Next day

Wash hair and let dry

Then apply to my hair from neck up and mash through my scalp!
Cover with saran wrap and 3 scarves


Morningtime


Rinse Henna with cool water from my hair throuoghly.
Deep Condition for at least 2 hours
Rinse
Style as normal
