Thanks! I did add lemon juice, olive oil and an egg.

I henna and mix with warm tea, honey and conditioner. I leave it over night, rinse and deep condition. I've done it a few times and I really like how it. It can be a little strong and drying so I only do it every 2 months or so. I think more than that would be too much for me.

I use Jamila brand and I have pretty dark brown hair. I'd say the henna personally gives me a healthy shine and maybe a tint rather than color but I guess that would also depend on the color of your hair to begin with.

I wonder why the Indian lady told me no more than 30 minutes? Maybe she was hating

LOL get you to come back and buy more.

Ugh! It worked! LOL. She lucky it's only a dollar and change or we'd need to have a chit chat.

Thanks LOL... I love the effect, but I don't want to achieve that look in real life by over hennaing

I started using henna with tea and a little bit of ACV (IDK why though, LOL) instead of all ACV or lemon juice. Using all ACV or lemon juice just made my hair really dry. I've also added coconut milk and it really helped with the drying.
