WEEKEND TREAT; HENNA AND TEA ANYONE??

Hiya,

This is a quick post on what treat I gave my hair this past weekend. I remebered that I hadn't done a henna treatment for a while nor a tea rinse so I decided to kill two birds with one stone! Henna for its protein/deep conditioning properties and black tea to minimize shedding, I am 6weeks post relaxer and managing my new growth can be a challenge but I found this mix to truly serve its purpose even if my hair is currently tucked away in a protective style I will share with you in my next post.

Anyways let me break down this treat!!

After brewing the tea in warm water, I poured it into a bowl of henna;


Then mixed it and added conditioner by one of my fav non-black/African hair brands herbal essence for added conditioning.

I proceeded to do the prepoo oil challenge by oiling my scalp and the rest of my hair from root to tip with my avocado and black castor oil mix(hope you all are participating in this challenge, your hair will thank you);

Then finally I applied the henna mix;

Then I covered my hair and danced around(exaggerating)  with my baby for One hour and rinsed it out. It turned out to be a mix I will definitely try again, I have not combed my hair since then and do not plan to till this weekend so I really don't know if the tea worked to reduce shedding this time but from past experience I'm sure it will work. All in all, this was a good a treat!! Did you give your hair a treat this past weekend?share your experience below!!

GOTS(Gist on the side); So I go to a salon over the weekend, the barbing section though to cut My baby's hair with the barbers for the first time! yay!!he is a big boy now!!(I digress). Anyways, when the hair cut was done, we(my hubs, baby and I) go to the main salon to pay for the hair cut and I look to my left and there's a stylist relaxing a lady's hair TO THE TIPS!!! I was astounded!! I whispered to my Hubs; 'can you see what is going on?', he looks at me clueless, then I say 'hun, please you wont mind if I take a picture will you, Il just pretend like Im taking something else and then ZOOOM in!!LOL but my hubs is just gives me the look like  'Dabs you are on your own on this one oh!!'LOL. Anyways, at the end I was too chicken to whip out my camera or to even say anything, I just looked on helplessly, weeping in my heart(exaggeration again) But seriously, I was upset that in this day and age a salon of its caliber in Lekki had stylists still acting so backward!! I am tempted to do a salon profile on this salon but I dont think I can subject my hair to such mediocrity! All Il say is DO NOT let any stylist in this world make you overlap relaxer on relaxed hair and if you are looking for a good salon in Lekki this salon that's named after a fruit leaves nothing to be desired!!There I said it!! Well Kinda...Lol let me leave here before I find more trouble!!
