Katsotaanpa sitten v\u00e4h\u00e4n sit\u00e4 hennav\u00e4rj\u00e4ys-asiaa. Ensin v\u00e4h\u00e4n taustaa hiuksistani. Olen v\u00e4rj\u00e4nnyt hiukseni viimeksi lokakuussa 2012. Joulukuussa k\u00e4vin ottamassa permanentin ja lopputulos olikin jokseenkin katastrofaalinen. Jokin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4mist\u00e4ni punaisista hiusv\u00e4reist\u00e4 (luultavasti se viimeisin jonka v\u00e4rikoodi oli osuvasti 6.66)<\/strong><\/span> yhdess\u00e4 permanentin kanssa, ponnarin kuluttamissa hiuksissa sai aikaan hiusten massiivisen katkeiluaallon niskaosastossa.\u00a0 Niskaan ja takaraivolle muodostui ohuempi kohta kun hiukset katkeilivat siin\u00e4 jo kampaajan tuolissa istuessani ja jatkuvasti niit\u00e4 k\u00e4sitelless\u00e4ni v\u00e4hint\u00e4\u00e4n seuraavan parin kuukauden ajan. Kampaaja oli kuitenkin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt hiuksiini hell\u00e4varaisempaa permanenttiainetta, en uskalla edes ajatella millaista tuhoa tujumpi aine olisi tehnyt.<\/p>\n

Takaraivon ohenemista kammottavampaa oli kuitenkin se mille hiukseni n\u00e4yttiv\u00e4t ja tuntuivat k\u00e4sittelyn j\u00e4lkeen tehohoidoista ja erikoiskosteutuksista huolimatta. Latvat olivat kuivaa ja koppuraa kuin hein\u00e4. K\u00e4vin viel\u00e4 viikon sis\u00e4ll\u00e4 uudelleen kampaajalla tehohoidossa ja k\u00e4ytin kotona kosteuttavia naamioita mutta hiusten latvat n\u00e4yttiv\u00e4t r\u00e4j\u00e4ht\u00e4neen k\u00e4siin, ihan kirjaimellisesti. Kampaaja kielsi ehdottomasti k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4st\u00e4 mit\u00e4\u00e4n v\u00e4riaineita huonokuntoiseen hiukseen. Puolen vuoden intensiivisen hoitoaine- ja naamiorumban tuloksena hiukset ovat nyt siedett\u00e4v\u00e4t, joskin edelleen takaraivolta muita osia lyhyemm\u00e4t. Tosin faktahan se on ett\u00e4 pilallista hiusta ei oikein pelasta en\u00e4\u00e4 mik\u00e4\u00e4n muuta kuin sen leikkaaminen pois. Lis\u00e4vaurioiden v\u00e4ltt\u00e4miseksi en edelleenk\u00e4\u00e4n uskalla tuupata n\u00e4ihin mit\u00e4\u00e4n vahvoja hiusv\u00e4rej\u00e4 joten ajattelin testata hennaa. Pakkohan se on my\u00f6nt\u00e4\u00e4, harmahtava tyvikasvu ja oranssinkellerv\u00e4ksi haalistunut punainen v\u00e4riaine olivat jo aika kammottavat.<\/p>\n

Henna on mulle tuttu aine niilt\u00e4 ajoilta kun harrastin ihon hennaamista noin 10 vuotta sitten. Hiuksiin en kuitenkaan ole sit\u00e4 aiemmin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt. Ostin kokeiluun Prismasta edullista Satva-hennaa ja k\u00e4ytin ensimm\u00e4iseen v\u00e4rj\u00e4ykseen 4 ruokalusikallista hennajauhetta. Sekoitin jauheen kuumaan mustaan teehen ja puolikkaan sitruunan mehuun. Kokeilumieless\u00e4 lis\u00e4sin my\u00f6s v\u00e4h\u00e4n jauhemaista inkiv\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4 koska luin jostain ett\u00e4 sit\u00e4 voi lis\u00e4t\u00e4 tehostamaan v\u00e4rin vaikutusta. Sekoitin tahnan ja l\u00e4imin sen pestyihin hiuksiin. Hiukseni ovat varsin tuuheat huonosta kunnostaan huolimatta joten tahna ei oikein riitt\u00e4nyt latvoihin. En kumminkaan pit\u00e4nyt sit\u00e4 vakavana asiana koska jauhetta j\u00e4i viel\u00e4 reilu puoli pakettia uutta v\u00e4rj\u00e4yst\u00e4 varten. Kiedoin koko komeuden tuorekelmuun ja pyyhkeeseen. Vaikutusaika oli ehk\u00e4 hieman alle 2 tuntia josta noin 20 minuuttia saunassa.<\/p>\n

Lopputulos n\u00e4ytti verrattain tasaiselta p\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4 katsottuna eik\u00e4\u00a0 juurikasvun rajakaan erottunut kovin selv\u00e4sti. V\u00e4ri j\u00e4i kuitenkin hieman oranssihtavaksi ja alta tyvest\u00e4 ep\u00e4tasaiseksi, joten p\u00e4\u00e4tin suorittaa uuden v\u00e4rj\u00e4yksen parin p\u00e4iv\u00e4n p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa k\u00e4ytin seitsem\u00e4n ruokalusikallista hennajauhetta, mustaa teet\u00e4kin taisi hulahtaa v\u00e4h\u00e4n enemm\u00e4n kuin edelliseen satsiin joten tahnasta tuli v\u00e4h\u00e4n notkeampaa ja samalla my\u00f6s valuvampaa. Mental note: k\u00e4yt\u00e4 v\u00e4hemm\u00e4n nestett\u00e4 ensikerralla. T\u00e4ll\u00e4kin kertaa vaikutusaika oli noin parisen tuntia, josta saunassa 20 minuuttia. Lopulta kyll\u00e4styin odottelemaan ja pesin hennan pois koska se alkoi valua tuorekelmun alta ik\u00e4v\u00e4sti kaulalle. V\u00e4ris\u00e4vy tummeni selv\u00e4sti toisella k\u00e4sittelyll\u00e4 ja kuulemani mukaan s\u00e4vyst\u00e4 tulee viel\u00e4 intensiivisempi kun henna alkaa v\u00e4rj\u00e4ysten my\u00f6t\u00e4 kerrostua hiuksiin. Itse kaipaisin ehk\u00e4 hieman hehkuvampaa ja kylm\u00e4ll\u00e4 taitettua punaisen s\u00e4vy\u00e4, ja kest\u00e4vyydest\u00e4 en viel\u00e4 voi sanoa mit\u00e4\u00e4n, mutta aika n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 mit\u00e4 t\u00e4st\u00e4 tulee. Kaikenkaikkiaan olen kyll\u00e4 v\u00e4riin tyytyv\u00e4inen ja hiukset ovat huomattavasti kiilt\u00e4v\u00e4mm\u00e4tkin kuin aiemmin.

Couple days ago I made a test with Colour Mask conditioner.<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nIt shows on the side and at the ends as colder shade of red.<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nOf course the colour didn’t catch on the base of the hair, which<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\ndoesn’t have any chemical treatments than henna dye, so<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nperhaps I have to forget the Colour Mask. <\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

IN ENGLISH<\/strong><\/span>
\nLet’s have a look at the henna dye-issue. First some background. I have dyed my hair last in October 2012. In December I took perm curls and result was somewhat disasterous. One of the red hair dyes I’ve been using (most likely the latest one, interestingly the colour code 6.66)<\/strong><\/span> with the perm chemicals on my hair which was worn out by ponytail rubber band, cause massive hair breaking at the back of my head. Thinner area was formed at the back, occurring already while sitting at the hairdressers, and continuously every time when I did something to my hair for the next two months atleast. And this even though the hairdresser used more gentle perm chemicals than usual. I don’t even dare to think what would have happened if it would have been normal chemicals.<\/p>\n

But even more awfull than the thinner hair at the back was the condition of hair over all. Despite of the special conditioners and moisturisers done by the hairdresser they felt like very dry and brittle hey. I even went back to the hairdressers later that week for another special conditioning treatment, but that, nor the hair masks I used at home didn’t help. Hair ends looked like they sort of exploded, literally. My hairdresser forbid me to use any hairdye at all. After six months of intensive conditioner and hairmask use they seem now tolerable, all though still shorter at the back. Fact is that once you have ruined your hair, it doesn’t properly recover and the best option is to cut it off. To avoid any more damage I don’t want to use any strong hair dye so I thought perhaps henna will do the trick. And I have to admit, grayish roots and red faded in to yellowish orange wasn’t a pretty sight.<\/p>\n

I’m familiar with henna dye from those days when I used to hennadye my skin, about 10 years ago. I haven’t used it for hair before though. I bought cheap Satva-henna to try from local super market. For first time I used 4 table spoons of henna powder with black tea and juice of half lemon. I also added some ginger powder because I read from somewhere it should enhance the colour. I mixed paste and stuffed it on washed hair. Despite the poorly condition I have lots of hair, so this amount wasn’t enough to properly cover all the lengths. However I didn’t think that was too serious of a problem because there was plenty of powder left for next time. I wrapped my head with cling film and towel and allowed to stay about two hours, of which about 20 mins in sauna.<\/p>\n

Result was rather even and the roots didn’t show much through. However the colour was a bit orange and uneven on lower layers so I decided to make another dye after couple days. This time I used 7 spoons of powder, mixed with black tea and lemon. I think I used a bit more liquid because paste became more runny. Mental note: use less liquid next time. This time I allowed to stay about two hours of which about 20 mins in sauna. Finally I got bored of cleaning the runny henna off my neck so I had to wash it off. Shade became clearly darker and I’ve also heard it should also get more intense in time when henna starts layering on the hair. I’d love to have a bit more vibrant and colder shade of red, and I can’t say much about the durability of the colour, but we will see what time brings. Overall I am happy with the colour and atleast hair looks much more shiny now.<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/strong><\/span>
\nDoesn’t damage hair
\nEasy to mix
\nConsistency is adjustable
\nPaste washes off more easily than the hairdye chemicals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong><\/span>
\nLong affecting time
\nRuns easily
\nFinding the right consistency takes time
\nUncomfortable to wear the film
\nMessy
\nSmelly (you get used to this)
\n<\/strong>Limited colour options: orange red or brown\/brownish black\/black if using indigo aswell
