Hello lovely people!
I cut my hair about a month ago. Now it's curly. While transitioning to natural hair I used to henna every 6 months to cover the greys. While henna did a great job covering the greys I'm deadly afraid of its straightening effect on my hair since I am looking to keep my curls.
-For those of you who use traditional hair color and are curlies...do you experience this straightening effect from traditional hair color?
-How do you compare the effects of henna vs traditional color on your hair? The good and the bad?
-Things I could do to minimize the damage?
It if makes any difference I'm not trying to lighten my hair color (as you can see from my avatar is pretty dark with some reddish highlights from henna)
I would appreciate any and all advice. I haven't covered my greys in about 6 months and it's pretty noticeable.
