I've been using pure henna (from 'Henna for Hair') for years. Now that I have started the dreading process, should I go ahead with my usual henna schedule (every 4-6 weeks) or should I wait? I'm addicted to henna so waiting would be a test of m y patience. LOL. Henna does tend to knot up my hair, BUT it also has to be rinsed thoroughly.
Iuse henna on my hair from Henna Hut. I talked to them about henna and dreads. I do not know the brand you use , but mine is mixed with water applied, then rinsed out. My directions say use cream rinse to remove dye, but I found it not necessary. I touch up my roots around 3-4 weeks and have, since I started my dreads 4 months ago. Henna Hut did say as dreads mature it would take more to rinse it out, but I am prepared for that. Since I dyed my hair before dreads, I will never have to dye my dreads entirely, just the roots. What color are your dreads and what process do you use when you color?How many steps do you have to do to mix it with anything?
None of my babies rinsed out, I just cut back to washing twice a week instead of three. Henna is so healthy for your hair, I was afraid it would impede the journey, but so far so good. Love my red dreads!!!!
