Hair, Indigo and Other Things

I really haven’t been doing much to my hair. My goal is to stop trimming so often. I’ve just been moisturizing my ends with HELTR leave in, water, and coconut oil, nightly and twisting into a bun. I try to shampoo every 7-10 days if my scalp has build up. I co-wash when I am changing hair styles ie. from a braidout to a bun or vise versa. I straighten every so often, usually by roller-setting. I try not to flat-iron often.
Between school and trying to maintain a consistent fitness routine, my hair has become less of a priority. As long as I keep it moisturized and it’s not breaking… I’m happy….
On another note, the indigo did not fully take to my hair. It is darker but not black, like I prefer. I am trying to decide whether I want to reapply it before or after my next relaxer touch up…

My First Henna and Indigo Experiment!

I’ve finally purchased my henna and indigo! I purchased 1 pound of henna and 3.5 oz of Indigo powder from Amazon. My plan is to mix the henna tonight, apply the henna tommorrow night before I go to bed, rinse out the henna Friday morning and apply the indigo.
My henna recipe is as follows:
Steep 1 bagof Indian Spice Yogi Tea and 1 bag of green tea in 2 cups of boiling distilled/RO water. Chill the tea for 15 minutes in the freezer to knock off the heat.
Stir the tea in about 1.5 cups of henna powder. Add two caps full of Organic/Raw Apple Cider Vinegar.
Add a tablesppon of egg whites (I would add more but I just did an egg treatment a few days ago…)
Add a teaspoon of Rosemary leaves and a dab of ginger powder(to help neutralize the smell.)
