    i used to have an eating disorder- i was very unhappy with my looks so starved myself of food and became very thin. as a result of this my hair became very thin, weak and frizzy. with a lot of hair fall. i recovered from this disorder and became healthy and good weight again 4 years ago. Yet my hair is still in this same bad condition. I have been using henna and it has improved it a lot, but i wish to gain a bit more thickeness and want to be able to grow it (at the moment i can only grow it to shoulder length and then the ends are so thin i have to cut) anyway how often is it safe for the hair to use henna mehndi? I have heard that if used too often it can do damage and make hair dry or actually make the hair condition worse. I have been doing it once every two weeks. How often can i henna without adverse effects? Thankyou very much for any potential answers :)

    yes since i met my best friend who is an indian i have been using coconut oil very regularly and henna once every two weeks. The improvement is brilliant, so i believe henna does make hair thicker and definately more shiny. the henna i use i actually bought in india, it is called pravin nartaki herbal henna :) x

    My hair is black and I have always used mehndi for conditioning only, not for colouring. But now I have some grey hairs and I don't want them to be coloured orangish red/brown when I use mehndi for conditioning. Is there any way to use mehndi so that it does not color the grey hairs orangish red/brown?
