Today Was Henna Day

Yes girls today i did another henna always on a quest for strength,length,and thickness. I want to start using only Jamila henna, but i had some left over henna that i bought from the health food store, it was a neutral henna (no color release) the lady at the store said it was 100% natural henna. I won't ever buy this henna again, it really is too grainy, so it's hard to remove from hair. Anyway i used this left over henna along with my new favorite henna, the Jamila brand. I had some left over vo5 and some other conditioners that i had mixed up together, so i don't even know exactly what the henna mixture consist of, i just threw every almost done conditioner i had in there. I applied my henna mixture, like i was applying a relaxer. Once my hair was all covered with henna, i put on a plastic cap and wrapped a towel around my head and let sit for 1 1/2 hour. I rinsed for what seemed like forever (15 minutes) and i was sure i had gotten all of the henna out, i didn't. After rinsing (my hair felt very strong)i parted my hair in 4 sections and applied my homemade moisture leave-in and then sealed with almond oil, in sections, especially the ends. I air-dried in sections and after my hair was dry, i combed my hair back and clipped it up with a hairpin and put on my wig and hat. Later today when i got home i took down my hair. It was feeling very thick, but i did not get all the henna out. So i combed through my hair and little specks of henna fell in the sink. That does not bother me, but my hair was very dry, so tommorrow i will moisturize again, my fine hair cannot take over moisturizing. All and all, it was a very good treatment. My hair feels stronger and thicker. Just what i wanted

Update On Garlic Conditioner

Okay ladies,
I have some great news to report about the garlic conditioner, it really works !!!!
I didn't want to jump too fast and say how great this garlic treatment is in stopping shedding until i tried it a couple of times. It stopped my shedding first time i used it and it continues to work. I have used this treament a total of 3 times since the last post. This treatment will be one of my staples. Not only did this treatment stop the shedding, but it also stopped some of the breakage too. I have been putting off trying this because it thought the smell would be to much. Well it does not smell good (lol), but it is worth it. I am 6 weeks post and this is when i usually run into trouble with more shedding and breakage, so i said, hey it's about time i see if this garlic thing works. Yes it does.

Here is what I used (very simple)
1/2 bottle of vo5 strawberries and cream
4 tablespoons of garlic powder
let sit on my hair for 15 minutes
rinsed out with more vo5 strawberries and cream (my hair felt like butter)
detangled in 4 sections (no shedding or breaking)
added moisturizer in 4 sections
sealed with almond oil in 4 sections

Garlic As A Hair Loss Remedy

Garlic can also be good for our scalp and hair, as well as for our body.

Garlic stimulates the flow of blood to the scalp and help remove any harmful toxins, which is an important consideration in caring for the growth of our hair and in helping to prevent hair loss.

Adding a garlic extract to shampoo can help to strengthen hair and stop any breakage, while at the same time, adding good body to the hair and a nice gloss.

If you have dry hair or maybe an itchy scalp, a garlic extract type of shampoo will give you relief from many of those nasty symptoms.

An hour before bedtime, slice open a clove of garlic and rub it on the hair loss area. Wait for an hour then massage the scalp with olive oil. Put on a cap and go to bed. In the morning, shampoo your hair. Repeat this remedy for a few weeks, and hopefully hair will stop falling out and re-grow.
