I don't think I ever used it on wet hair?

For a while I was doing it on dirty, oily hair also

Same here. My mom always used her chemical dyes on needing to be washed desperately, dry, hair. So when I wanted to henna, I just copied that. That's how I've always used henna or any other type of dye, or bleach.

I almost always clarify before using henna, clean hair takes up the color so much better and I can wait longer after coloring before I need to wash. I do tend to let it dry before applying the henna though, its just easier to tell what I'm doing and it doesn't drip as bad. If I'm doing a whole head application, I will apply it to damp hair.

It's not supposed to be like dripping wet it's just damp hair, like after towel drying. It makes the henna applying and rinsing much easier, well it does for me.

Yup, I've done henna on dry hair plenty of times. It doesn't seem to have any issues coloring my hair that I've seen.

Hi,

I always use henna on dry hair.

I too color with Henna on dry "dirty" hair. And I always add some coconut oil to the Henna.

So glad to know all this now, either way wet or dry its all good, I get lazy at times and wonder should I skip the washing step but washed anyway. But the color took just fine, so I'm pleased.
