: My hair is so destroyed its like a sponge. Your last sentence about

: I don't massage my scalp normally when I shampoo because of
: breakage...thats why I'm fearful.

I expect it would, but I've never had overprocessed hair. When I rinse the henna
out, I comb my hair, and lots of bits of henna up to 1 mm dia. come out. With
watered down paste, you won't get nearly as much of that.

: also I had the thought stuck in my head that lemon bleaches hair and
: that that would be bad for overprocessed hair. Can you explain more
: about lemon juice, I really don't know anything..

You're confusing bleach with peroxide. Peroxide isn't the only bleach, and from
what I've read (I've never tried it), lemon doesn't bleach hair without sunlight.

Go ahead, try it! You may not get quite as slick a head of hair as mine, which has
never had any coloring but henna and cloves, but you *will* get a much more
dramatic improvement than I did, even if you break some hair in the process.
