Hi, all! I am hoping to get some help for friend who wants to do a henna gloss, as I've never done one (I just use straight henna and our hair is very different) and I don't want to do something to mess her hair up...
She currently has waist-length, 1a/M/iii hair that is an absolutely gorgeous natural strawberry blonde (MAJOR hair envy on my part :D ). The closest idea I can give you on color is that its like Mona's after pic or Illy's pic on the mixes page on the H4H site. She wants to brighten up the color just a bit because its started to fade over time, but doesn't want it drastically brighter or darker, so I thought a gloss might work well. I have some frozen Punjabi Prime in my freezer that she can use, but I need to know how much to use, given her hair length/thickness and that she doesn't want a huge change in color. I've read everything from a teaspoon to a tablespoon or more. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, would it be best to use a cheap no-cone conditioner like Suave Naturals? Thanks!
