: I just knew about henna a few months ago . My fist time hennaing
was
: in September . I just hennaed again in October. I bought henna
from
: Catherine . I plan to use henna every month. I have 4 questions
to
: ask:
: 1/ Do I still need to use conditioner afer shampooing or the henna
: itself is enough of a conditioner?

You'll probably want to still use conditioner. The henna improves
the hair a lot, yes, but not so much you can skip the conditioner all
together. Also, if you have a hard time rinsing the henna out I know
working LOTS of conditioner into the hair helps grab some of the
henna and rinses the hair cleaner.
:
: I also read in some hair magazine that "after shampooing if you
rinse
: your hair which is not chemically treated with a vinegar solution
it
: will make your hair shinier .
:
: 2/ I wonder will the vinegar solution do anything bad to my henna
: hair?

Since henna is acidic, I see no reason not to. I believe a number of
women here do vinegar rinses with great sucess.

:
: 3/ I have very thin , fine, limp and oily hair. My hair is not
: damaged . I would like my hair to have some body. Will Cassia
: Obovata help my hair in addition to hennaing every month or henna
by
: itself is already enough , do not need to use Cassia Obovata ?

You'll probably see a difference large enough to be dramatic with
just the henna. But, you could use 3 parts henna to 1 part cassia in
your powder for some extra conditioning. I don't believe those
proportions should lessen the ammount of dye enough that you'd see a
difference from straight henna.

:
: 4/ I saw some of you mentioning using coconut oil before
shampooing.
: My hair is very oily. I have to wash it every other daỵ.
Should I
: use coconut oil to make it shiny or it will make my hair more oily ?
:

Not sure on this one. I have kind of oily hair myself, and learned
not to do hot-oil treatments--my hair was a greaseball for weeks!

: I would appreciate anybody who knows the answers .

: Since I know this forum I have to read it everyday and I learn a
lot
: from here . I used chemical dyes in the last 2 years .
