Can someone please give me the basic 101 on henna application. I plan to try my first henna treatment in a couple weeks and need the basics:

Do I shampoo before applying the henna or do I put the application on dry hair?

After washing the henna out of my hair, is that when I would deep condition with a high end conditioner such as Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose?

How long should I let the conditioner stay on my hair (usually my hair is very dry after shampooing)?

I plan to mix my henna with coconut milk and raw honey since that seems like a simple combination and will be looking for the Reshma henna somewhere here in the Atlanta area.

Most people do shampoo before applying henna (I do)

After rinsing the henna out (you may want to use a cheapie condish to help) you will want to DC with a moisturizing conditioner.

You can leave the condish on for as long as you like, 30 minutes - 1 hour may be a good starting point but go longer if you need it.

Good Luck!
I'm actually just sitting down from rinsing out some henna

CN has a great tutorial here http://www.curlynikki.com/2008/12/henna-pictorial.html

Then there's a GREAT e-book on henna and how-to here: http://www.hennaforhair.com/freebooks/hennaforhair.pdf

I have both bookmarked because I read and watched over and over again before trying it myself.

Good luck!!

I tried it on dry hair and wet hair. For longer hair, I think doing it wet is the way to go. I also shampoo my hair before I apply the henna.

I agree with Tia. Use a cheapie condish to help rinse the henna out and then put your good stuff on.
