1. Wet all of the hair. Shampoo the scalp and let the shampoo go down the whole length. Wrap a towel around the hair.
2. Make the henna mix. Mix in boiling water. Runnier consistencies are easier to apply.
3. Take off the towel and put on some plastic gloves. Apply the henna upside down in the bathtub, glopping it on in handfuls. After applying all of the henna, wrap the hair into a bun and put on a shower cap. Before sleeping, put a towel on as well to ensure no leakage.
4. Mix in about 1-2 tablespoons ACV with about a cup and a half of non-distilled tap water. Set aside.
5. Rinse, rinse, rinse out the henna.
6. Put some conditioner on, mostly on the ends, and detangle with a plastic wide-toothed comb. Detangle from the bottom up. This helps get the henna bits unstuck.
7. Rinse out the conditioner and dunk the length into the ACV mixture. Let it sit for about 30 seconds before rinsing out.
8. Apply a tiny bit of conditioner, just to the ends, and rinse out.
