I added honey to my second mix. It made the mix much easier to
handle, but I don't know if had any extra conditioning effects. The
first mix was very mudlike in consistency. The mix containing honey
was not really much thicker, but easier to handle-more like very
thick pudding. It held together much better. Incedentally, I used
henna ordered from Catherine off the Henna for Hair site, and it
still had to be washed a few times over the course of the week to
soften up. I know it was first quality henna-so it could've been the
lemon juice; or maybe it was still henna dust left over. It was only
temporary in any case. It has been about 8 or 9 days since the
henna, and my hair is now very soft and shiny.
