: I have been dying my hair black with "chemical" dyes for a few

: it won't make the locks slip out or not lock at all?! Thanks!!

Hi Jenna,

Check out the link below for one of my posts. My dreads are not new,
but I don't think that henna will prevent your hair from developing
locks. After I henna and indigo my hair, I twist the new growth while
it is wet (after I rinse out the colouring, of course) and have had no
problems keeping my locks neat and tidy.

Check out the information on this site on dyeing hair black with henna
and indigo, if you have not already. Also, check out the recent
information on amla. I have been using Lush's caca noir henna
(contains lots of indigo) and body art henna (I apply this first) and
will be trying Catherine's indigo and amla in a couple of weeks. Hope
this helps.
