MamaNaturalista, Marisol Correa, has loved using henna for 3 1/2 years. Her favorite go to brand is Henna Sooq‘s Red Raj and first learned about henna through CurlyNikki.com Curly Nikki asked… What made you try it? I wanted to reap the benefits it gives: strength, deep condition, shine and color. I gotta cover up these gray hairs… I’m ancient! How long have you been henna’ing? I’ve been henna’ing for 3 1/2 years. What’s your routine? My routine… 1. Steep 2-4 bags of green tea into 2 cups of boiled water. 2. After it’s reached room temperature, I pour it into a container filled with henna. 3. Mix it and let it set for 3 to 4 hours, then add a tablespoon of honey. 4. Wash my hair, make 4-6 sections w/ clips and apply the mix. 5. Cover it up w/ saran wrap, a shower cap or BOTH – just to be safe & prevent leakage. 6. Let it set for 4-8 hours or overnight. 7. Wash it out w/ water until it runs clear, then a WHOLE bottle of cheap conditioner. 8. If needed, deep condition w/ a deep-conditioner or NAH… style hair as normal!

Henna and Indigo are natural dyes which are great natural alternatives to commercial hair colour. With each application, henna becomes more difficult to remove. Can henna and indigo be removed from the hair naturally and safely? This question appears on the forums often, and one often replies with “You don’t date henna, you marry it”. How true is this statement? Now, to see just how true this statement is, let’s have a closer took at how henna works to colour your hair. It is a common misconception that henna only coats the outside of the hair. Yes, henna does cover the outside of the hair somewhat, but the resins (which are temporary) are responsible for this. What truly happens is the dye within henna, the lawsone molecules, actually penetrate the hair shaft and attach to the keratin (hair protein) within over time. So, the more one applies henna to their hair, the more lawsone gets attached to the keratin within which in turn strengthens the hair. This is how henna builds up and gets darker and more prominent over time. This is why those that have bleach damage may get poor coverage, as bleach can actually diminish or break the keratin bonds within the hair which give the henna a poor base to work with. For those with bleach damage, protein treatments (such as protein fillers used before dying the hair, or other protein treatments) are essential prior to hennaing to get an even ‘base’. Now, how hard is it to actually remove henna from there hair? Over the last few years, I (Vanessa) have actually experimented with various natural and a few non-natural options to see if...
