The only thing though is that it does have some relaxing properties, so the curl to my hair was noticeably more unwound, some folks may not like this, and I didn't know until I tried it. But all the benefits I got from it totally outweigh the change of my curl pattern. It was the magic bullet for me because my hair does not break, split, or degrade at the ends, it's amazing!!!

Thanks for this info! I have been curious about trying henna and to hear that it might elongate my natural corkscrew texture a little is really appealing to me! I went to that website and noticed that the henna tends to leave redness and/or red highlights. This is one thing I wanted to avoid, I don't want red tones in my hair! If anything, golden would be nice. What color is your natural hair, which color henna do you use and what's your result?
