If anything, golden would be nice. What color is your natural hair, which color henna do you use and what's your result?

Just a lil FYI, you can temper the red tones of henna by adding coffee ( for brown hair) or indigo ( for black hair).

To answer the original question
I too love http://oyinhandmade.com.
My favorite products from them are the Honeystick lip balms, Shine and Define serum, and for my daughter, the Whipped Pudding. I also use the Juices and Berries moisturizing spray.


I'm SO over Carol's Daughter... at least most of the products. The formulas' quality has declined over the years and most of my favorite products have been phased out. The only thing I'd still buy today is the Kizzy Pomade and the Khoret Amen hair oil ( if they did something about the smell; very green and woodsy).


Hollywood Beauty isn't an organic brand, but their Olive Oil Creme is awesome.


For my locks, I love to rewist with Princess Kayla Nattylock Creme. Dreadlocks - Princess Kayla's Nattylocks Maintenance Cream. This is also something good too use sparingly if you wear braids. It seems very heavey, but I haven't had any buildup issues.


I also hear a lot of good things about https://www.qhemetbiologics.com/index.php I haven't ever PURCHASED any of their products, but I was once given one of their hair butters and the honeybish tea soft hold gel. The hair butter/cream was okay... I didn't like the gel so much.


I have to admit that I mix and make a lot of stuff in my kitchen, though, so that may be an avenue you wanna explore. HTH.


Here are pics of me 1.with loose/unlocked hair 2. With my locks in the baby stage ( btwn 6-9 months?), 3. My locks currently ( I don't consider them mature yet; 3 years)
