: Is there anybody experiencing dryness from indigo? I just colored
my
: hair this weekend first with body art quality henna, then followed
: two days later with indigo. I believe it was real, "good" indigo
: from the way it reacted. I mixed a small amount with distilled
water
: and saw it change from green to teal to dark blue in about 20
: minutes. Since it looked good I went ahead and mixed 200 grams
with
: water applied into my hair and let it sit for 3 hours. When I
washed
: it off the color was lovely but my hair is very very dry and sort
of
: hard to the touch. My hair was already damaged from having
: highlights/chemical color so I wonder if that had something to do
: with it. The henna was wonderful, no dryness or off colors in my
: hair at all.
:
: Why did the indigo cause this? Will the indigo wash off and with
it
: the dryness?
:
: Is there any natural conditioner anyone can suggest? I cannot use
: most commercial conditioners because they give me horrendous
dandruff
: (Aussie Moist, Infusium, they are bad on my scalp).
:
: Here are some pictures I took of my hair. The first one is after
: hennaing my hair (which was chemical colored medium brown) indoors
: with a flash.
