So as I posted last week, I did my first henna and it made my scalp feel really dry. However, since then I've experienced a dramatic decrease in my dry scalp/psoriasis related discomfort. I henna'ed again today (I know, I know, I'm going to take a break now! ) but instead of vinegar and water, I just used light coconut milk in my mix with nothing else. I COed the henna out with SMT and my scalp feels... comfortable! For the first time in a verryyy long time! I've tried ACV, regular clarifying, sulfate free, cone free, less washing, more washing, scalp treatments... nothing worked but the henna itself seems to have made an impact.

Maybe it's the mechanical act of rinsing out the henna, kind of like exfoliating ? Does henna affect your scalp positively, negatively, or not at all ? I'm intrigued.
