So softer water has given better results for those using the filter now?
What about when applying the henna onto damp hair? Whose done that and it's gone on easier? I usually recommend that.
As for drying your hair out. yes it's true any ayurvedic herbs can be drying to your hair but you can't be doing a treatment like every week and maybe not even every 2 weeks. The recommend usage is 4-6 weeks. Plus you're giving your hair time to grow, and give it a general break from becoming over dryed. If you are dyeing your hair just try to do touch ups.
Balance is the key when taking care of your hair.
For beginner's I'd recommend doing a henna gloss. It's easy to apply and just a good balance to start out with. You don't need henna if you don't want the red. You can always use cassia obovata as well for herbal benefits with no color change (except possibly on light hairs, like greys or dyed blonds).
If you don't like the smell then it's a good idea to add your favorite essential oil to your blend. Mine is sweet orange oil because it's refreshing and chances are you won't get a headache from it.
