I’m conducting a hair henna experiment.
There are those that say that adding coffee to your hair henna makes it
browner; that chamomile makes it more blonde, that yogurt makes it
condition more. We’ll see.
My control will be plain henna with lemon juice.
My mixes will be:
- Henna and coffee (Sarkisan chocolate macadamia, specifically)
- Henna and chamomile (Stash brand because Whole Foods was out of loose leaf)
- Henna and yogurt (Horizon whole-fat plain)
- Henna, lemon juice, and tea tree oil
The tea and coffee I brewed double strength. Coffee was made in a
french press with 4 tablespoons coffe per 8 oz water. Chamomile was 2
bags per 8 oz. Each batch will be made with 1 tablespoon (about 5
grams) of henna.
I’m off to mix it up. Application is
scheduled for tomorrow (on five segments of the under-layer of hair on
my head). Photos should be ready by the weekend.
To the lab!
