3 freshly washed clumps of shed hair shampooed and ready for experimentation!
(Argh, the
kitchen counter is such a pain to photograph on. Hygienic sure, but so annoying
for photos. Not going to play around with henna on the white kitchen table
though!)
I wish I
could have bothered to comb and organise my shed hairs when I collected them!
But this will have to do.
I left the
frozen henna out to defrost. It was such a small amount that I started messing
with it after just half an hour or so.
The tiny
amounts of henna and cassia I needed made me nervous that my scale wouldn’t be
accurate enough, but there were 80
gram left in the cassia pack after I had poured cassia
out. Phew!
The mix
turned out to be way, way too hard though. So I added extra conditioner and
water or argan oil.
So the
mixes ended up being:
Actual Argan-test
batch
1 ml henna
40 ml
Tressemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture conditioner
10 ml argan
oil
3 ml water
Actual regular
test batch
1 ml henna
40 ml
Tressemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture conditioner
5 ml water
The mixes
ready to go
Applied to
the test strands and left for 4 hours. “A” of course marks the argan-batch.
Rinsed the
tests clean and left them to dry. I think the gentlest thing would be to CO
wash the henna out once I get to do my hair?
Purple
elastic marks the argan batch, white one marks the non-argan.
Can’t say I
see a big difference. Maybe the argan one is ever so slightly more glossy and
red?
