Hair relaxing treatments?
I have super frizzy, poofy, curly hair. It looks good for about 5 minutes but the second I'm exposed to ANY heat or humidity, it frizzes up out of control and I'm left with an ugly fro! It takes about an hour to straighten, only to be ruined shortly afterward. I really want a japanese treatment, but that is very expensive and I'm not sure it's available anywhere near me. Is there a chemical relaxer that will take out the frizz in my hair, but will leave it curly or wavy? I have tried the brazilian and it was HORRIBLE. My hair was just as frizzy and felt stiff like straw. It was awful. Biggest waste of $300 ever. Also, I have red hilights and heard that doing your head with henna not only dyes your hair, but smoothes it out too? Is this true?
Does henna cause heavy hair loss?
Instead of going for scientific therapies or synthetic methods with complications for hair growth, one can opt for a natural remedy that boosts expectancy of hair. Henna renders several benefits, foremost is maintaining healthy hair. Owing to its correlation with proteins, henna repairs/seals the cuticle, ascertaining hair growth. In addition to this, herb restricts hair breakage and adds glow to the hair.Balancing pH of the scalp and treating scalp problem like dryness and dandruff are other benefits from the usage of henna on hair. Besides prevention of premature hair fall, henna also restricts premature greying of hair.Side EffectsHair Texture – Some other issues that might be undesirable is that henna may relax curls, especially perms, since it opens the cuticles and then smooths them out. Those with only slightly wavy hair will see the most effect, while those with kinky curly hair will see smoother, more defined curls.Dryness – Henna is very much like a protein treatment in that if oils are not added to the mix or hair is not conditioned (or a hot oil treatment used) immediately after the treatment, hair will be course, dry, and unmanageable. Since henna does lock in moisture, a conditioning treatment immediately following the dyeing process will keep hair fully conditioned. (I simply add about ten drops of Dabur – Vatika hair oil to the henna mix prior to application. It contains henna, lemon, amla, coconut oils and smells yummy, which also covers up the earthy smell of the henna. My husband loves the smell of Vatika on my hair.)Mehandi is HennaHenna has been called Mehandi and used by women in eastern societies for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It has always been a symbol of high fashion and beauty among high society. In addition to its many benefits, it does improve the health of the hair and scalp, thus is is not just used to color hair, but also to treat skin and scalp conditions like dandruff and hair loss.
