Happy St. Patty's Day!
My henna is here :)))) After a month long fiasco with USPS, I finally received my Jamila Henna and Cassia Obovata from HennaSooq.
Side note: USPS is wackadoodle, but HennaSooq's owner made it happen. HennaSooq's customer service is exceptional. Every email I sent was responded to, and my package included a sheet of instructions on how to mix henna, cassia, and other Ayurvedic hair products.
I ordered 300 grams (3 boxes) of Jamila and 200 grams (2 bags) of Cassia. Since I've been waiting an entire month to try Jamila henna, I've collected quite a bundle of shed hair to use as a sample.
Cassia in the shiny packets - love the green background for St. Patty's day? :)
Tonight, I will wash my hair with Bentonite (a first), do a deep condition with honey and coconut milk, and mix up a full batch of henna. In the morning, before I leave for work, I will take my shed hair bundle and test the henna color. Then tomorrow night, I will do the full henna treatment. Based on the dye release, I will probably keep it on my hair for 3-4 hours (I don't want to be up working on this till midnight). Currently, my hair, in sunlight, glows dark brownish red, but goal is a deep rich burgundy/brown.
