: 1. How long have you been using henna and what brand do you use?

Several months. I buy it from Catherine. The cloves and lemon juice I buy locally.

: 2. How long do you usually leave your henna on for?

Anywhere from two hours to overnight.

: 3. How often do you use henna?

About once a month, sometimes with a touchup after two weeks.

: 4. Do you still use a protein conditioner or protein deep
: conditioning treatment?

No. I use jojoba and shea butter and mix jojoba in the henna.

: 5. What is your method for removing the henna from your hair? Do you
: use shampoo, conditioner or just plain water?
: Do you wash it out in the shower or sink?

Plain water and a lot of combing.

: 6. What benifits if any do you feel you get from henna?

My hair is really soft and smooth. When it gets wet it smells really garofalous and
pretty. Even when I sweat it smells a bit garofalous. I don't have to shampoo it;
rinsing with warm water and fingercombing shea/jojoba is enough. Even my beard
is soft; it has a lot less split ends and seems to be growing longer. My scalp itches
a lot less. The red highlights are pretty.
