Never going back to chemical dyes
Im 23 and Ive used chemical dyes for 10 years now, sometimes every month. I was obsessed with changing its color. I would also curl my hair everyday to add to the damage. Then my boyfriend persuaded me to grow out my natural color so I did but my faded color was getting really ugly so I was so happy to find henna! I couldn't believe that dying my hair could make it healthier. The first 2 times I used it it didnt work so well. I research more and found some important instructions<br />1. Wash you hair 2 times with a shampoo with the ingredient Sodium laureth sulfate. Don't use conditioner<br />2. Use warm tap water for the henna. I leave it in for 2 hours... why not<br />3. Also use as much henna as you can  im not sure if this really makes a difference but my hair seems much bouncier and thicker when I use the whole package)<br />4. Wash it out with a shampoo without the ingredient Sodium laureth sulfate and use a deep conditioner. I leave the conditioner on for an hour or 2<br />5. Blow dry your hair for 15 minutes. I blow dye it right after patting with a towel<br />6. Do not use a shampoo with Sodium laureth sulfate until you decide to dye it again. Usually the really cheap $1 shampoos don't that that ingredient (save money :))<br />Im not sure if some of these instructions make a difference but they have made the henna work a lot better for me. I have fine hair and I loose a lot of hair. My hair used to be so damaged that I would wake up every morning with a dreadlock on my neck. When I use henna my hair looks soft thick and bouncy. It feels great after years of dry, stretchy, almost barbie-like hair.
