I think it has more to do with the henna than anything else. In
my case, I use locally available Dulhan henna which is for skin, but
is not the primo quality in skin hennas, but it does give a good
stain.
I use any old shampoo/conditioner I get on sale - White Rain,
Suave...anything that smells good. And I don't have any kind of
filter on my shower.
Despite it all, I have never noticed any significant fading,
besides the usual toning down within the first few days. My hair pic
is in the mixes section - it was taken at least a month after my
last henna job.
