First try with henna, kind of

So I got the Hask Henna and placenta pack at Walgreens and gave it a try. I decided to do this rather than buy the henna powder and do the whole mixing thing because... I'm kinda lazy. LMAO anyways, I would say I wasn't particularly blown away. Its basically like a deep condition treatment except not as moisturizing. It says on teh pack that you can just rinse it out and style but I thought my hair was dry so I followed it up with conditioner and a deep condition. Here are the results after all that:

Looks nice and shiny to me but I think that's more due to the deep condition than the henna

It looks like the henna actually kinda colored my hair as it looks more brown now than it did before, which is fine with me. However it's ironic because the pack said it doesn't change ur hair color.

I used some new products this week as well. I used Giovanni 50:50 balanced hydrating-clarifying shampoo, Giovanni smooth as silk deeper moisture conditioner, Giovanni direct leave-in weightless moisture conditioner and Organic Root Stimulator Oile Oil replenishing Pak Deep penetrating conditioner. The Giovanni shampoo and conditioner were ok, I wasn't too impressed. The shampoo did that drying thing that most other shampoos do with my hair. The conditioner didn't give me enough slip for detangling. The leave in however seems like it works well, very moisturising and it defines my curls well although it doesnt do much for the frizz so I'll keep using it for a while. The replenishing pak is just as wonderful as I remebered it being. Really nice shine and very moisturising and a lovely smell.

I'm gonna go hunting for some good henna and try the mix and see what i get before i totally give up on henna. I'll be sure to share my experience!
