how to moisturize hair after henna - #24029
I am really unsure how to moisturize hair after henna. Last week, I finally took the plunge and dyed my hair with a henna mix I made at home. It was super fun and I love the color, but now my hair feels really dry and kinda straw-like. I always heard henna can be drying, but I didn't think it would be this bad! I have curly hair, and it's usually pretty well hydrated, but now I’m not sure how to fix this. I tried using my regular conditioner, but it didn’t do much, and I’m kinda panicking a bit here. I read somewhere that oils are good for moisturizing? Like, should I be using coconut oil or olive oil? Or do I need something special? My friend suggested doing an overnight oil treatment, but I have no clue how to moisturize hair after henna properly. How often should I do the oil thing? And what about deep conditioning? Is it safe to use a deep conditioner after henna? I really need some help because I don’t want to ruin the color, but I can’t handle this dryness. Any advice would be awesome!
