Dyeing hair

Well, to work, here is the procedure step by step:

1. For henna "tooth" or in your hair, you must apply in hair unwashed and completely dry. It is recommended that as a general care, apply on your hair two days before a nourishing mask. This will help make your hair silky and healthy. It is also advisable to make the cut you want in your hair before applying henna treatment.

2. Darken your hair: the color of your hair and its current status. If had a clear tone, you have to take into account that the final color will be red or copper depending on the tone you have now. If you want to be darker, say, coffee, it is necessary to follow this recipe: follow the instructions to purchase the ingredients (henna powder to paint the hair black or brown) and add one or two tablespoons of coffee, so that is a dark atole. Apply on your hair thoroughly with a brush and allow to stain for an hour. Then rinse or wash and get used to it. If you were not expecting the color as darker and want more, you can repeat the operation.

3.If you want your hair clarified: and give it a slightly reddish hue with golden shine, you have to do is this: do a good concentrated chamomile tea (chamomile is a natural rinse) and then add the spoonful of Henna following the instructions. The powder you choose should be golden blond. Leave on your hair for an hour and, preferably, skip to where you paste the direct sunlight, this will help. Then rinse thoroughly and wash, giving a gentle massage on your scalp to stimulate circulation and oxygenate your hair. If you want further clarification, from that day rinse your hair daily with water concentrated chamomile, you'll see it is very natural and glimmer increasingly clear.

    I do want to change my style and try something new, I want to paint my hair but I’m pregnant now and I do not want to harm the baby with chemicals so I was wondering if I can use henna even though I am pregnant? A friend of mine told me this fact but I want to be sure before doing anything else

    I used to work wit ha girl that used henna to dye her hair, and it looked so much better than “regular” dye. I have to say…I’m not really a fan of dying ones hair, but if you’re going to do it, henna is just about your best bet. NO chemicals!
