[Hairkay]

I've come across these DIY gloss bar recipes and wanted to know if anyone else heard of them or tried them out before.

I just usually mix mine up, use some and put the rest in a freezer bag until I need it.

Looks like it would be a greasy, hard to wash out mess.When doing a gloss, I just mix up some prepared henna mud with a silicone free conditioner. Add shiny, a touch of color and is easy to rinse.

They do use a lot of oil. I put coconut milk, henna and sometimes add amla, that's it for my gloss.

Oh my goodness, Iwas just thinking this the other day. I have henna ffrom when I first started and its ok compared to what I am using now and thought about making these I was thinking of just using some shea and avocado oil and make a tiny batch and see how it goes. Shouldn't be that bad, when it comes to may make hair oily BUT some people add oil to there henna mix and use conditioner to rinse it out. This may be ideal for curly hair.

I don't use conditioner at all just DIY hair masks and certainly not for washing henna out. I think the rose moulded ones look pretty but I'm happy with my henna coconut milk glosses.

I did use oil in my henna several times. And I used coditioner in the mix as well. It all worked out fine, you can see the color roughly in my avatar, it never affected the stain, it alwas looked nice and moisturized afterwards.

Good for you. Did you have any creative moulds or the plain cube ones?
