That's good to hear. I've tried to grow my hair really long several
times. I threw away my blow dryer, hairspray, and curling iron. I
only wash my hair every few days and even quit coloring it for a
couple of years. But my hair doesn't get much past my shoulder
blades before it starts to get scraggly at the ends. So I had it cut
to the top of my neck last January and started coloring it red
again. I figured if I couldn't have it long, at least it could be
the color I want. I've only had it trimmed since and it is a little
below my colar bones. I'd love to have it really long. Perhaps the
henna will help with that.

I did have an itchy scalp from the lemon juice the day after I
hennaed. I mixed up an egg yolk(we have our own hens so I have LOTS
of eggs) and mayonaise conditioner, left it in an hour, and rinsed it
out. The itch was gone. My hair wasn't tangly(even wet) and felt
thicker. It wasn't slick like you get with store-bought conditioner
though, it just felt healthy. I wonder if a lot of people who
complain about their hair feeling like straw after henna are
expecting it to feel slick like that. That isn't really healthy,
just a temporary fix.

Has anyone had better luck growing their hair out after hennaing??
