I'm only shoulderlength so what I did was I took half the package of Henna, mixed it with hot water til it was a nice paste/pudding consistency and let it sit overnight. Later that next day I mixed 2 cap fulls of olive oil, a little squirt of Kera Care for Itchy scalp, and a tiny squirt of Pantene conditioner. I belive you could use any conditioner really, especially the cheapies like suave or white rain. I just borrowed what was in my roommates shower lol! I wanted to leave as much Henna as possible so it'd be more Henna than Henna gloss. I put it on my hair after shampooing, put on a cap, and sit under the dryer for about 50 minutes. I washed it out, applied ORS Replinishing, and left that on for about 10 minutes. After rinsing that out I sprayed my hair with Aphogee Keratin green tea and the Pro-Vitamin leave in. I also put some Chi silk infusion in it, blow dried straight, and then straightened. "I am natural by the way"..... Now most would look at this and thing OMG that is so much protein but #1 my hair LOVES protein. Secondly my hair was not hard after my Henna. It was wet and soft like a conditioner afterward, just slightly crunchy but the ORS took care of that. My hair feels SO good. I got a little bit of weight back in my hair, the strands definatly feel slightly thicker, and the Henna shine you all talk about? SO beautiful my hair has so much body. I well continue to do this at least once or twice a month. I love it! Now with my blowdry I did notice a few hairs in the sink so I'm going to try useing flexi rods in the future to stop all the hard blowdrying and see how that works.
And here are the final results!!!!

Nice photos of your hair, and thanks for sharing your experience. It's true that henna can seen bright at first but don't worry! as you know, it darkens up and settles.
