Hi everyone,

I applied "light mountain henna" around 3 weeks ago. (I wasn't
happy about the results - but this time, I purchased good quality
fresh henna and cannot wait to do it again :))

However, ever since application 3 weeks ago, everytime my hair gets
wet or damp, the smell of henna comes back. It is definitely not
pleasent. I tried different shampoos, conditioners. Even tried
massaging my scalp with coconut oil (really helped moisturize) but
it didn't get rid of the smell... It sometimes reminds me of the
smell of rotten eggs... not pleasent..

A really nice lady on this forum suggested cloves for the color but
she also suggested that it gives the hair a nice smell... (I got
some, really liked the way it smells and I am definitely giving it a
try)

I hope that the next time I henna and I put the ground cloves in
there, it will mask the henna smell...

but in the mean time:
Why is the smell not going away? Is this normal? Will the ground
cloves help the smell next time? And if it is normal to have some
residual smell after each application, how long does it linger
around... What can I apply to my hair that will get rid of it? (It
only comes back when it is wet)

Thank you so much for your help in advance..
