I have hennaed my hair twice. So far, it has tended to feel dry for
about a week or so after doing it. Then is softens up. I think it
may be a matter of getting all the henna dust washed out.
Conditioner seems to help for me.

: Has anyone found that henna dried out their hair?
: I used good body art quality henna, soaked it overnight in lemon
juice and left it on
: for 3 hours. The first day, my hair (which has not been chemically
treated) looked
: great, but since then, it's definitely gone dull and flyaway.
: I tried washing it and conditioning it, but still no change. I'm
about to try mayonnaise
: (heard it's great for hair), but I've also heard that henna "coats"
the hair and doesn't
: "let" any conditioner through. However, there are so many positive
reports on this site
: and elsewhere about how great henna is for hair that I can't quite
believe the negative
: reports. So any feedback / tips / links on this matter would be
much appreciated.
: thanks!
