GIVEAWAY - Chic Chick's Henna and Indigo Powder

 

Its been a fabulous Women's Month and as much as I am of the belief that we should be and are celebrated every day of the year I thought I would end one month off and start a new month with a Giveaway.

I did a recent post about Chic Chick - a supplier of healthy 100% natural products for skin, scalp, hair and nails. (HERE). I was lovingly gifted some of their products to try of which a packet of Henna Powder and Indigo Powder were included.
Now as I have curls that are colour treated with permanent colour, I am still deciding on some changes I would like to make to my hair, either use some Henna with Amla and Cassia powders or use a permanent colour (if I do the Henna then I cannot go back to permanent colour unless I BC) or a BC and permanent colour, I feel like I have too much hair for this heat and we are not even in to the proper summer months. SO whilst I decide on the way forward let me let you enjoy these products. I grew up using Henna in my teens on relaxed hair and I know it is quite a good product to have and use on any hair journey you might have. One must just ensure the balance between protein and moisture as Henna can be quite drying, I don't want this post to turn into a long one and will do a separate post or one on one guidance on the use of Henna. Please do your own research as there are a number of things to note and to learn about using Henna and there are even a number of ways of using Henna in order to get the colour you would like to achieve. Click the link to the Henna Mix Guide Below to get some guidance on mixing the Henna and Indigo.

A few points I found which make sense:

1) Everyone's hair is slightly different, and results vary.
2) Your natural hair color makes a big difference in the result.
3) The proportions of henna and indigo make a big difference in the result.
4) Other additives make little difference in the result.
5) You can completely cover gray hair if you keep trying.
6) Body art quality henna does a fantastic job.
7) You can use body art quality cassia, henna and indigo over perms, dye jobs and totally trashed out hair ~ safely!
8) Compound henna is trouble in a box.
9) The Quick Henna Mix Guide is simple, sensible, and reliable.
10) Apply henna and indigo THICK like whipped cream on desert.  More is better.
