How does henna affect your scalp?

[reilly0167]

my scalp has been dry all my life, been using henna for the past year and it's not really changed my scalp (gorgeous colours though)
I've never heard of using coconut milk in henna, i might try that next time

Its a awesome henna gloss, I do this from time to time when I want a luxurious spa like treatment. I just warm the coconut milk, mix in the henna, let dye release and apply.

I've read that henna is good for skin conditions, including dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. I once wanted to do a long-term experiment on my mom's psoriasis, but she declined (she did let me try it once, though, and while she said it made it very itchy while the paste was on/drying, she thought even the one application seemed to help a bit).

I don't recall if it had any effect on my seborrheic dermatitis, though. I've never noticed itchiness or anything after hennaing.
