I, too, have been experiencing soome hair loss, and am only using
body-art henna. The loss goes on for some weeks post-application, and
I suspect it has nothing to do with either the henna, nor the
application technique, but with biology. Some of us do shed in the
autumn [my cats do], and it is my theory that the nascent growth we
then have through the winter may act something like eiderdown, being
closer to the scalp and therefore denser and warmer. But clumps of
hair falling may point to something else, and perhaps a general
health check is in order: deficiency of certain nutrients, or
endocrine imbalance, can happen quite suddenly, and one symptom is
alopecia [hair loss]. I don;t think it is your henna, but I do hope
you sort it all out - best of luck!
