Hi, Hasprida,
I had dry, dye-fried hair in August, and this site convinced me not
only to return to henna, which I had used many years ago, but to
switch to the body-art quality. There is really no comparison! I used
a boxed henna, just to see if my hair would still be all right with
henna after the abuse - it remained very dry. That problem has
vanished with just one application, so far, of body-art henna. I'm
now just trying to find a block of peaceful, uninterrupted time to do
it again!The hair is extremely glossy, actually sparkles in the sun,
and feels thick, smooth, and healthy. It doesn;t rub off on my
clothes, either - which is more than I can say of other hennas and
dyes.
As to oils, I use nothing fancier than a little olive oil on mine,
which I put in a leftover hairdye applicator. It gives a lot of
control over how much and where you apply it. Others here have
mentioned coconut oil - I've used it, too, also shea butter, but find
both a bit heavy for my particular type of hair.
Good luck, and hope this helps a bit! Katherine
