Provided you use good quality henna and not the commercially
produced rubbish, with nasties in, your hair should improve in
condition, not get worse.

My hair was super chemically processed, before I hennaed. I had
permanent blonde, permanent red, permanent brown and a few semi-
permanents, all on top of each other. The first time I used henna
was only about 2 weeks after my last semi-permanent colour and about
a month after my last permanent.

Apart from the very first time I hennaed, I've always used
Catherines henna. I've hennaed about 7 or 8 times now and the
condition of my hair just keeps getting better and better!
I get loads of comments about how shiny my hair is, these days.. and
I still have alot of permanent colour underneath the henna. It's in
great condition! :o)

: Hi ... Im 47 years old have used permanents & semi permanents
since
: age 30. For some years now my hair has started thinning, drying
out
: and looking like "Witchy Poo" in Puffinstuff (that's for all those
: kids in their late 40's). Currently my permanent brown dye is
about
: 2 inches from the roots... Yes I'm preparing for my first henna
: adventure...and its been two months since my last perm dye job.
: Given that brittle, dry witch hair has been a prob for some time
: (hormonal?, commercial dyes?, blow drying?, ageing?).. I'm
wondering
: whether Hennah applied to commercial dye ...will really up the
: brittle dry factor? Can anybody discuss similar issues.

: Thanks a heap
