I have downloaded the free henna guide that Henna Sooq offers on their website. It is an incredible resource that contains 11 henna recipes and also has a section of Frequently asked questions that they answer for you.
I tried the “Henna Gloss Diva” recipe that adds a minimal amount of color and deeply conditioners your hair. I mixed Jamila henna powder, 1 tsp of aloe powder and equal parts conditioner (to the henna). I let the mixture sit for 4 hours so the dye would be ready to use. I applied the henna conditioner to my hair, wrapped it with Saran Wrap and then used a shower cap. I left the treatment on for 2 hours and then rinsed it out.
I’m happy to report, my hair is smooth, silky and my curls are beginning to pop back! I also love the minimal color! I look forward to trying every recipe I can from Henna Sooq!
