Henna Oil?

[3azza]

i make my own henna/amla oil and i think it works better than oil alone. But using it as oil does not feel the same as henna mixed with water. Both are good in different ways.

Does anyone know if it deposits any colour?

I use a shampoo and conditioner from the Indian grocery store that has henna in it. My hair seems MUCH softer after I use it. I think it just has the henna's conditioning properties, but it could be many of the other natural ingrediants in it. *shrugs*

I'd like to add some herbal henna to coconut oil and use it mostly for scalp massages. Is it better just to let it sit 2 weeks as little_cherry suggested, or would it be okay to put it on the stove at a low heat for some period of time? Will that mess anything up..?

If not, how long should I heat it that way?

I am too impatient.

Does anybody still makes their own henna oil?, I have some cassia and herbs and I was thinking making some cassia infused oil.

I do I used mustard and coconut oil I put them in a jar over boiling water, like a double boiler, and added one table spoon of henna and another of Amla powders . After a few days it turned very dark green and I use it for deep oilings on my hair. I had to strain it after about a month. I keep it in a dark cool area. It does help with shedding as henna and mustard oil is a treatment for balding . Hope that is helpful

Thank you it was very helpful. Do you notice any color change in your hair by the oil?.
I have some amla,rose petals powder, brahmi and shikakai so I will mix those with my cassia and some sesame and coconut oil.

No, I never notice any change in color but that is because my hair is hennaed and very red My guess is that on lighter shades it would darken hair. U can add any oil that benefits your hair and any herbs as well. Enjoy your creations

I live in the UAE and they sell henna oil here. I've used it and it soothes the frizzies brilliantly (it is very humid here during the summer months). I can't tell if it deposits colour on the hair because I already henna my hair red but it stains my hands if I don't wash them immediately after using it.

This is interesting it might as well stain hair since it is stained your hands.
I guess if I used cassia it won't be much of a problem.
I'm waiting to buy a tea ball to put my herbs in there and the steep them in to the oil
