How often should i henna my hair? and Q about Glossing?

[Anainwonderland]

So as most of you prob already know im new to hennaing my hair and i already love it just after doing it once. I went to the movies tonight and got 3 complements on my hair (2 about shine, 1 about color) So I have 2 questions for ya.

How often should i henna my hair with straight henna mix that i have left over in the freezer?

What is a gloss, How do i do a gloss and how often should i gloss?

Thank you for all your help so far. I wouldn't know what to do without you!

Hi there! the good thing about henna is you can do it as often as you like but please be aware the more you henna, the darker it will get.

A henna gloss is where you add just 1-2 tbs of henna either straight into a cup of conditioner or you can mix it with water or lemon juice and leave to develop and then mix it with conditioner. Its a watered down version of a full henna, but due to its dilution the colour isnt as in your face as a full henna but the benefits of shine and softness to hair are there.

I prefer glosses as they only take an hour on my hair to get the benefits plus they do fade a little overtime (though I only speak for myself, my hair has a hard time holding on to any dye). Glosses are a good choice too for those who have achieved the colour they want with a full henna and don't want to go darker.

Many on here just full henna the roots and then do a gloss on the length. Its entirely up to you how often you do your henna but no harm apart from it going darker (maybe this is a good thing for some) will occur to your hair, make sure its BAQ henna too from a well known seller!
