    I voted that my hair was type two and got less wavy. Its one of the reasons I stopped using Henna. I really like my waves.

    Mine got less wavier . I am type 2 . I have stopped hennaing now and I think sometimes some of the extra waves are returning a bit, though it's only been 3 months but that could be layers I had put in my hair.

    Only one henna, but I was a 2b/easily encouraged to c. I haven't had a reason to encourage it since the henna, so I don't know if I'll be able to get to c anymore.

    I guess I'm one of the rare ones who gained curl and wave after henna.
    My hair has much more body with henna so instead of lying flat and lank like baby hair it stands out and bumps around a bit.

    I voted cheese.
    I've never used henna, but I have thought about using it for short times just for the benefits, but not quite long enough to get any crazy hair changes.

    Edit: I do use a condish sometimes that has a little bit of henna in it, but it's the tiniest amount, so I didn't even think about it.

    My hair gets less frizzy and holds curl better longer after I henna.

    I haven't noticed any relaxing of my 3a. Just lots more shine. And redness. I have only used Yemen in case we are trying to determine whether that makes a difference.

    My hair gets straighter/less wavy with henna. When my hair hair is trashed and fried and dried, mainly from chemical dyes, it was very very wavy, borderline curly, and as I've treated it better it's gotten smoother.

    I'm trying to figure out how to get the curlies back without resorting to a curling iron or trashing my hair again :P
