[sareca]

Me and a girlfriend from work just got our henna wholesale order delivered from mehndiskinart.com.

We ordered 100, 100g boxes of henna (that's 10,000grams!). Half are regular and half are deluxe henna (they're the same price). The deluxe one is called Jamila and Katherine, from hennaforhair, keeps it in her private stash.

The four 100g shiny bags down front are from hennaforhair. If you add one 400g bag of indigo and $5 w/ of samples it costs $66. That's 800g of henna and indigo. All the boxes in the back combined 50, 100g boxes of henna (5000g of henna) cost $75.00.

If you are a member of the Henna for Life clan find a buddy and go wholesale.

That is just awesome! I just contacted them because I want to split my order with indigo and henna. I will wait for their reply. Thanks for sharing. You have to let us know how you like this brand compared to Catherine's brand. I beginning to believe VWVixxen, you are a henna junkie. But it takes one to know one.

That's an awesome price difference. Please keep us posted on the quality of the Mehndi henna when you buy it. The little 200g I bought is about to run out.....

I need to purchase my next fix.............

What's Henna for Life? Whats the website?

Is the deluxe henna supposed to be more conditioning? Or have more color release?? What makes it deluxe??

CONGRATULATIONS!!

This one was priceless! Thank you ALL for the congratulations, I'm a very happy LaLa right now!! You're welcome FancyPants, I can't wait to hear the results!!!

But I can't be side tracked...must know more about this henna for life club!! A gurl HAS her priorities!! I think my mum and I are going to go henna buying here very soon!

 

[douglala]

Don't tempt me! I have 5000g of henna to use.


You're as bad as me. I think to say you can go back might be a stretch. My hair was pretty dark after my half and half treatment. I think the color will fade (esp. w/ my hard water) in a few months, but I doubt it will ever be as light as it was...

I'm assuming that henna over indigo will have no color change. At least, that's what I hope. I'm using it for conditioning only 'cause I'm crazy about the new color.

So when you do the henna will you let t he color fully release before using?

Vixxen's right, I've cracked out on henna.

 

[sareca]

Yep. I have about 100 g leftover my the last time, but I'm going release another 200 g tonight.

 

[Aubergold]

gees I can't wait till sept when I do my henna (I'm in twists now). I want to go to the blackest color possible cause my hair is some nasty dark brown color that looks dirty. I wonder what the result of henna and indigo on natural hair looks like.

Awww, that's so cute. That was me 3 months ago. But lala-land or no, homeboy still ain't allowed in my hair cabinet. Not since the shea butter incident.

Anyway, I couldn't believe the price difference. The only reason I don't have an equal amount of indigo is because they were out. I'm checking back next month. Did I mention there were no taxes and no shipping?

sareca> You are me inspiration for wonderful hair, I have henna twice just becausre of you and this thread. Henna has replace my protein treatments, And since I have premature graying since high school, the color is a life saver. I have damage my hair from cloring with chemicals now I can do this naturally and the plus side is stronger, healthier hair.

also thankyou to all the ladies on LHCF that came forward to tell the world on how great henna is.

I have no idea. All I know is it cost extra and you have to call hennaforhair and request it. She said she reserves it for the "special customers." mehndiskinart.com said it was high quality too, but didn't say what made it "high quality." I can't wait to find out. You know that's what I'm trying first.

Nawl, I made that up. It's the imaginary club I invented for all self-proclaimed henna junkies! Vixxen is our club president!

I'll let you know what I think of the quality.

Awww, thanks . I started greying early too. Got my first one at 9 years old. I was using temp dyes every couple of months for years and years and years. After a really harsh temp black dye fried my hair I started looking for alternatives. I did an internet search on google.com and Vixxen's fotki album came up. I was like, I KNOW HER! The rest is history.

Anyway, welcome aboard! I'm glad you're lovin' it and I'm glad you came forward. So what do you put in your mixes? Do tell.

Here's one. But, you could always harvest some hair from your comb or brush over the next couple of weeks and test it. Then you'd know exactly how it looks on your hair. http://www.hennaforhair.com/mixes/moni/moniafterhenna.JPG

Can I be an honorable member of the club? I am definitely down for life.....
I should have my pics up soon!!

What?!! Do tell!!

I guess that makes you Club Vice President and DougLaLa can be Secretary?

I motion that we make it so!

We need a Treasurer...wait...with all the PJ's we have lurking around hurr...I'm not sure that's such a good Idea, we need a hair neutral party for Treasurer! Can somebody get Nikkos in here?

 

[Brownshugaz]

Congrats Vixxen I saw that as soon as I opened the thread.

 

[sareca]

What?!! Do tell!!

Yep, I searched for henna and relaxers (or something like that). I PM'd you that same day.

Bwahahaha! It sure couldn't be me!

 

[BrownBetty]

Pick me, pick me

I can be treasury, I have licked my pjism (crosses fingers and toes). I will keep all the monies safe and sound (the large bottles of Aveda DR will soon be in my little hands).

Yes, make me treasury!!

Oh no you don't. Just 'cause you're in recovery doesn't mean you hang out w/ your old friends (extra cash and the Aveda salon).

 

[sareca]

OK, I did some homework. Jamila is known for being the freshest henna available as well as super fine (i.e., doesn't have as many sticks and leaves to rinse out). It is also known for staining darker! When I mixed it up it was more like pancake batter than the henna I'm used to. It is also really really green.

ETA: It also had almost no smell. Henna is made worse by ACV, but it's usually a little funky all on its own.

If your siggy says "I Henna" you get to be a full fledged member of the Henna for Life Club! :wink2:

lemon juice for the first time, and acv for the scond time
black reduced coffee
coconut oil and alma oil

What!?!? I'm going to be washing sticks and leaves out of my hair? Sigh, the things I do for beautiful hair.

AWESOME thread ladies! I do not have time to read this thread right now but I will later on today......one quick question: henna is a dye for the hair(one that does not have harsh chemicals like other dyes)? The place where I get my eyebrows threaded also does henna treatments...maybe I should look into that as well. The lady is extremely nice. The problem is I am her only AA client and I do not think that she has had much practice w/natural AA hair. I could be wrong though. The problem is I am unsure of how to actually ask such a question...I am very shy.

tishee

Oooh!! I would be VERY careful about getting henna done at a 'salon'. There is 'hair' henna (which usually ISN'T pure henna, and has more chemicals and nasty bits that will make your hair VERY unhappy than a little bit) and then there is BAQ (Body Art Quality) henna, which is what I believe ALLLLL of us are using - it's pure, 100% Lawsonia somethingorother, and it's the best stuff possible to use. I'd strongly suggest that you check out www.hennaforhair.com and read their info - I'm sure you'll be converted to doing the home hair mudding along with the rest of us.


And ummmm - I'll be TREASURER!!! No PJism here - most of my hair stuff comes from the grocery store!! *ROFLOL*

*goes off to update her siggy..... *
