    Re: Washing before we use Henna

    Hi,

    I will take headbath to remove hair oil applied earlier.
    Now i am ready to apply Henna and keep for an hour.
    (I will get headache if i dont apply Henna once in 2 weeks.
    Henna has a very good cooling power for me)

    I will just wash the Henna Pack on my hair with water alone.
    I don't shampoo the hair,as I get the feel of all the goodness of Henna will be washed away.
    bye

    If you want the Henna color to stick to your hair,there should not be much oil in the hair.If the hair is oily,henna color will not stick to it.

    Re: Henna pack for conditioning and no color

    What about mixing the oil in the henna to make the paste? Would it work that way? I normally mix my henna with water but I'm wondering if there's oil on my hair and water in the henna paste will I get any benefit from the henna since water and oil don't mix.

    So should I mix the henna with oil to prevent color or oil the hair and put oil in the henna mix to prevent color? Thanks.

    I am wondering if you are having clumps left in the henna mix or is it smooth when you mix the paste?

    Re: Henna pack for conditioning and no color

    hi ,
    its better to apply oil to hair before applying and for conditioning the recipe is
    henna mixed with curd and bit of lime(cleans dirt and dandruff if any) and keep it mixed overnight and apply to it next day...gives a cooling effect and cleans the scalp and does good conditioning..i have been doing this all hot summer while in india...m sure u will really like it.... :):thumbsup
