I have very curly wavy hair, that sometimes corkscrews on humid
days. Since I've been using henna my hair has seemed straighter,
especially on the top. It's still curly at the tips, but not much.
I think the henna has weighed my hair down a bit, plus since I use
only conditioner, and rarely use shampoo, I think that has something
to do with it as well. The pics of my hair on the mixes page are
after 3 hennas, and my hair is more straight that that now. I've
found if I use shampoo and light conditioner, and don't comb it
before it dries, the curl comes back.

: Hi,
:
: I've used henna 3 times now on my hair. I love the color, but have
: noticed that the henna seems to have changed the curliness of my
: hair. I've had corkscrew curls since I was a toddler (although I
can
: torture it straight with a blow dryer in very low humidity
: conditions) and now my curls seem to be less tightly curled, more
: wavy than curly. Are there any other curly girls out there who've
: tried henna and found that it's changed their curls, or has anyone
: heard of henna changing the texture of curly hair?
