: 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.

For me, it's the opposite: when my scalp itches I know it's time to henna my hair
again. You might try mixing a base, such as baking soda, in the henna after the
dye has released. The straw feeling is henna dust still stuck to the hair; it goes
away in a few days.
