Im so sorry that i have taken some time before i can actually post something on my blog! I have been struggling with my scalp still but it has gotten much better. I think according to the research that i have made that i am dealing with sebborric dermatitis! At the moment i am still giving myself some time to see if i cannot get some relief from the itching from the herbal oitment that i bought from the earth shop.
My hair was looking dull and looked like it needed some color! I normally dont use regular dye's because they contain ammonia, ppd, parabens and resorcinol and all of that is irritating to my scalp and actually causes more damage than good!! I then went to Mopani Pharmacy and bought the Herbatint Permanent Haircolor Gel! Inside the box you get 1 bottle Herbatint haircolor gel,1 bottle developer,1 sample shampoo, 1 sample conditioner, gloves and instructions!
What i like about the dye is that it is made of natural ingredients like Aloe vera, Meadowfoam, White Birch, cinchona calisaya,Witch hazel, Echinacea, Walnut, and Rhubarb. At least thats for the color that i chose which was Crimson Red (Ff2)! The dye is tested for sensetive skin and doesnt contain Alcohol ammonia, resorcinol or fragrance! Its a little bit liquidy when you apply it, i just wished that i had a bottle with a tip that would control how much of it actually comes out, thats the only negative i had about it. After i apply it to my hair, it was actually soothing to my scalp which was amazing! I never even had an itch or anything close to it!
The color took nicely to the ends of my hair because they were lighter than the rest of the hair. Obviously when i am in the sun i can see the color better throughout the hair. If i want my hair to be a little bit lighter i would opt to go for a lighter color so that the red would be able to show more and i think thats something i would definitely look into doing as the seasons change. I would definitely use this same brand because its gentle on the scalp and it still delivers on the promise of color! I like experimenting with color and making sure that my afro looks fresh and interesting!
