Hennalucent now a staple!!! My review!

Ok, I procrastinated so bad on using this stuff. I bought a box at Sally's (3.99) about a month ago and never touched it. Well, I was one week post yesterday and decided to try it as my protein conditoner. I was very pleased! Here is my review!!

First, I  wet my hair and used Aura Jojoba oil as a hot oil treatment for half an hour. While it was in my hair, I poured the packet of Hennalucent Sunset Glow in a plastic container and poured very hot water in while stirring and adding alittle olive oil and honey to the mixture. I stirred until it was a smooth consistency and let it stand.

Then, I rinsed my hair and shampooed with CON detangler. I detangled with my bone comb (Another staple).

To apply the Hennalucent, I put on latex gloves and used a hair tint comb to apply it just like a relaxer (part hair into 4 sections and apply like a relaxer.) Then I smoothed the remainder to the rest of my hair down to my ends. I covered with a plastic bag and let sit for 3 hours.

I rinsed for about 15 minutes to make sure it was all out and then apply Neutrogena Deep Recovery mask. This I let stay in my hair for another 2 hours. Then I rinsed and applied WGHO and ORS Olive Oil.

Before I conditioned my hair was alittle hard feeling but as the conditoner sat in, it softened right up. My hair now has a slight golden hue in the light and it's alot shinier and stronger! The shedding I was experiencing is completely gone and my hair feels good. This is going to be a staple project. If anyone is going to try though read the directions. This henna project is safe for chemically processed hair.

Yeah, there is a neutral Hennalucent specifically for conditioning and strengthening without color. If you go to http://www.sallybeauty.com and type in Hennalucent you should get a full list of the colors available. My hair is very dark except it looks reddish in the sun. Now that I added the Hennalucent it has a golden tint to it. It's not completely noticeable but I know there are colors available that may give you better color. Most are red hues although there is a Bark Brown and a black to turn your hair darker. Overall I like.

Layla, my hair is relaxed. Actually I touched it up 1 week ago. It says on the box the specific chemical processes it can be used on and relaxed is one of them. I used Sunset Glo too and it cam out fine. My hair feels alot stonger. Of course individual results will vary but I think it should be safe. It stopped all of my shedding too. Some women use it twice a month but I think I might go once since it is a heavy protein treatment.
