: For a day or two after I henna my hair, it is more frictious than usual. Is: this caused by henna dust, or what?
I'd suspect traces of henna left in your hair. Try to be more thorough when rinsing
out. A couple of suggestions to help get rid of it all.
- Dunk your head in a bucket of water or the bath tub to loosen the henna from the
hair. Alternatively if you live in a warmer climate or it's summer and you have access
to outside facilities - get out in the garden and use the hose to rinse the first part off.
- Use a fair amount of conditioner (doesn't have to be fancy stuff at all) after you have
rinsed most of the loose bits from the hair - it makes the hair slicker and helps
remove some more.
- Rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse under running water - henna is stubborn and sticks
longer than you think. I always rinse until I can feel no traces left, until the hair feels
as if I had just rinsed out conditioner.
