My First Henna Treatment

Today I decided to henna my hair since my bantu knot out didn't last as long. Marilyn had previously henna the day before and had more than a half left over so I decided why not try it.

The henna we used was the Godrej Henna that Mimi mixed with coffee, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration, Tea Tree oil, & Castor oil. After mixing all the ingredients together with hot water, she put it in the fridge overnight. So for me it's been sitting in the fridge for two days. I was kind of skeptic about it changing my hair any. You know what, it did do something.

Before

After

I don't know if you can see the color change, but my hair is actually like a mocha brown or darker. I don't know if it loosened my curls any, but my hair is shiny from the henna and suave conditioner. I actually trimmed and twisted my hair after. So I'll be defiantly doing this again, and I'm happy with the results. For more info on henna, you can check out http://www.curlynikki.com/search/label/Henna on Curly Nikki.

Organix Hydrating Teatree Mint Conditioner Review

When I decided that I was going to cut my hair, I needed a better conditioner. After church, we went to Walmart and saw the Organix Hydrating Teatree Mint conditioner from somewhere between $3- $2. My sister thought I should give it a try since I'm usually the test subject anyway. The first time I used it, still had relaxed ends, it left my hair some what dry. I chose to wait after my BC to use it again. This time, it was MUCH better.
It soften my hair up some, left a long lasting smell (which is great), tingles, and detangles by itself a little. I use it as a leave-in sometimes. I am not to sure if it is for relaxed hair, but I know it's good for naturals in my opinion.This has become one of my favorite products and I just LOVE it!

You can find the conditioner & shampoo in Walmart and I think Krogers & other drugstores.
