I don't know if henna will help the really dried stuff. I myself
have been a permed and dyed mess since my teens. I started using
henna - the quality stuff after finding this website. I used some
crappy stuff called mountain something and my dried up ends turned
green! THe quality stuff actually helped blend in the green so it
wasn't so scary and gradullly cut off the green part.

Now I love my hair. It shines and it's strong. It was always prone
to split ends and now splits much less. A nice plus since I'm
growing it as long as I can.

I would like to suggest that mixing the henna with vinegar - I use
plain old white vinegar but I know some people on the board use
apple cider vinegar. Anyway, I found vinegar to less to harsh than
lemon juice and kept my hair softer. I would also suggest using a
vinegar 2-3 times a week. The rinse is just a large spoonful of
vinegar to 16 ounces (500 ml) of water. Pour this over your head
and don't rinse out. The vinegar smell goes away after your hair
dries.

Good Luck
