I've been doing the same thing, but without really knowing if it
was "OK" or not - washing my hair every 3rd day or so, and using
conditioner everyday. My hair was seriously crispy and dry when I
gave up chemical dyes. I've always had dry hair, but dying made it
frizzy and hay-like. Since using henna the past 5-6 months, my hair
has become shiny, soft, and is no longer dry. In fact, this morning -
the ultimate test...I bought a Bio-Amla shampoo at the Indian
grocery which makes my hair even softer, so I skipped conditioner. I
haven't been able to do that since...well, never! And my hair is
bouncy, soft and shiny - my husband caught me ogling myself in the
mirror about 5 times today! LOL

: Fia,
: I looked at your photos, your hair is lovely! In one of your
: entries, you mentioned using "conditioner-only" as your hair
care. I
: wasn't sure that I read that right, do you not use shampoo? What
was
: it that led you to this? Is it healthier? Does your hair and
scalp
: get clean? I have dry hair and only wash it every second or third
: day and use serious conditioners for dry and brittle hair so this
is
: very interesting to me. Would you mind expounding on this for me?
:
: Also, I just recently had my hair hennaed for the first time, it
is
: absolutely lovely! Will a conditioner made for "dry, color-
treated
: hair" be safe over hennaed hair? I'm assuming that it is just for
: very dry hair.

: Thanks!
