Thank you Ktani and Virgo75.
I have oiled after henna, but after a long day and washing out henna, I haven't been doing that...
I will most definitely try oiling before henna since henna does soak up oils.
It makes total sense. Coconut oil is wonderful.
I have something interesting to add about henna and cones. The presence of cones on the hair does not effect the dye uptake...I tested the "henna will not dye if you use cones" theory and found it to be false. Actually, the henna strips the hair of cones (dimethicone and Amodimethicone). I did a gloss and still got an incredibly strong stain.
