after applying henna on hair how to wash - #24424
I am seriously confused about how to wash my hair after applying henna, and I hope someone can help me with this! Last week, I decided to try out this new henna treatment I've heard so much about for my dry, frizzy hair. The process was super fun, but now that I've got this rich reddish-brown color, I'm worried about what comes next! I’ve looked up different methods on washing it out but they all say different stuff. Like, do I just rinse my hair with plain water or do I need to use a special shampoo? And how soon should I wash my hair after applying henna? I don’t wanna mess this up and lose the color! My friend said something about not using shampoo for a few days after applying henna 'cause it might strip the color away, but how long is too long? I also feel like there's a lot of oils and residue left in my hair, which makes me a bit anxious. Should I just be washing it with only conditioner? After applying henna on hair, how to wash it without ruining the color? I've got this whole Pinterest board of ideas, but they all seem contradictory. Please help me out!
