As some of you know, I did not henna my hair at all this summer. I really didn't feel as though my hair needed the extra strength and I was happy with the color I had. Fast forward and now it's the beginning of Fall and I relaxed my hair about two weeks ago, the color is not as vibrant and I'm ready to start using henna again.
So last night I took the plunge! Plus, I made a video for you guys. It shows how I apply the henna to my hair. The video is less than 4 minutes too! After I wrapped it all up, I watched TV and then headed to bed. The henna was on my hair for about 10 hours before I rinsed it out this morning. Currently, I'm steaming my hair with a deep conditioner. I'll keep you posted on the results.
