Henna and cassia do not coat the hair. The tannins wrap them selves
around the fibrils of the keratin molecular strands and strengthen them.

Lawsone enters the scales and penetrates into the hair and stains the
keratin.

I am not aware of any adverse reactions between cassia and synthetic
hair dye.

You can cassia, then henna with no problem that I am aware of.

With repeated applications of cassia or henna, your hair does not
continue to thicken, as would dipping a candle. It stays sleek and
glossy.

Cassia seems better at helping scalp infestations than henna.

I would recommend lemon and sunshine to brighten blonde, and cassia
once a month or so to silky up the texture.

Cassia penetrates in 1/2 hour. You're not trying to build up color,
so I wouldn't bother leaving it on longer.

I don't know about using cassia with pectin. I think 200 g for fine
hair would be plenty. That worked fine on my mother who had totally
trashed out hair, upper back length.
