: Hello,: I'm new here and new to henna. I've only henna'd my hair once with
: Rainbow brand henna and have been researching real henna and am
ready
: to try it again. I've read about the adding of the lemon juice. I
: make an apple cider infusion that I use in my hair as a rinse after
: shampooing. Can I substitute this in place of the lemon juice? It's
: an infusion of apple cider vinegar, rosemary, sage, comfrey,
nettle,
: yarrow, cloves, and essential oils. I was thinking of adding 3 tbs.
: of this to the henna mixture. Any thoughts on this idea? Will it
hurt
: anything? Thanks!!!
Hi there...I am NOT an expert, but I do not think it would hurt. For
some reason, my scalp gets a little itchy with too much vinegar, so I
dilute mine as a rinse, but the lemon juice does not itch. I am
going to switch away from Rainbow henna myself. I did it Monday,
kept it on 3 hours, and it has already faded drastically. Plus, I
now know there are better hennas out there. I learned all that from
this great site!
