: Goodness, I was not even sure how to title this post. I was using
: Rainbow henna (now I have the good kind on order) and it fades
: dramatically after just one week. I have been using what I
consider
: quality products on my hair, such as Aubrey Organics shampoo &
: conditioner and styling gels. I use jojoba oil to massage my scalp
: prior to shampooing, and have installed a chlorine removing filter
on
: my showerhead for both the hair benefits and skin problems from too
: much chlorine.

: What is your opinion about the reason for the fading? The not so
: good henna, the products I use, or is there something else I
wonder?
: My hair is quite oily so I have to wash it daily just so it looks
: decent. I have a feeling it might have been the fact that I was
not
: using good henna, but I look forward to hearing your advice.

Ok you'll probably think I'm crazy but this is what I do. I buy an
herbal mix for hair from WildWeeds.com in the spicy brunette. I make
an infusion for shampoo and one for a rinse. For the shampoo I use
infusium, I dilute one part of shampoo to one part of herbal infusion
made with distilled water, wild weed herbs and red zinger tea. I only
make enough to use within a week so it doesn't go bad. For a rinse I
use the same herbs, cider vinegar, extra cloves and infuse that for
about 3 weeks. When that's ready, I make a strong red zinger tea, add
2-3 tbs. of the vinegar and rinse my hair with that. It works for me.
By the way, I also used the Rainbow once but I received some Usha
henna from Everyday henna and the color difference is amazing! Much
richer deeper color. Really makes the Rainbow stuff look really
wimpy!!
