I've finally hennaed!!! And I'm soo happy that I did. I have nothing but praises for it, and the color is exactly what I've been wanting lately.

I used:

Nupur Mehendi 9 Herbs Blend
Warm water
Teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
EVOO + rosemary essential oil
Trader Joes Nourish Spa

Method:
Mixed 1 cup of Nupur henna + acv + warm water and let sit over night
Next day, applied henna to damp hair + scalp
Saturated hair (not scalp) with conditioner mix
Left mixture on for 3 hours w/plastic cap
Then, rinsed, rinsed and rinsed again, lol

The process was easy and simple, and I'm hoping to do this at least once a month.

My first time experimenting with cassia and amla (Nov. 2010)

Products Used:
Sunrise Cassia
Mehandi Amla Powder
Organic Chamomile and Lavender tea
Oil mix (EVOO, EVCO, rosemary, amla, brahmi, lemon e.o.)
