I've gotten my hair a little dry from henna, but most of the time it
does an excellent job at conditioning. Henna doesn't "coat" henna
and prevent anything from conditioning. Mayonnaise is a good
conditioner for if your henna dries out your hair. So is a dairy
conditioner that has about 1/3 to 1/4 cup of plain yogurt, 1 egg, 3
tbsp olive oil, and 2 tbsp of real mayonnaise. This helps to be used
after henna if your hair is dry. Leave it in for a little bit and
that can do a good job in conditioning. Also using a reliable
regular conditioner will help too. (after henna)
Adding honey and/or olive oil TO my henna mix always gives my hair
better moisture and condition.

: Has anyone found that henna dried out their hair?
: I used good body art quality henna, soaked it overnight in lemon
juice and left it on
: for 3 hours. The first day, my hair (which has not been chemically
treated) looked
: great, but since then, it's definitely gone dull and flyaway.
: I tried washing it and conditioning it, but still no change. I'm
about to try mayonnaise
: (heard it's great for hair), but I've also heard that
henna "coats" the hair and doesn't
: "let" any conditioner through. However, there are so many positive
reports on this site
: and elsewhere about how great henna is for hair that I can't quite
believe the negative
: reports. So any feedback / tips / links on this matter would be
much appreciated.
: thanks!
