trust me, I was not a huge fan of mehandi hair pack or even henna hair oil during my college days. I used to feel gross and outrageous to have something smelly and sticky on my hair. well, I was ignorant and I started to like it when I started to see grey hair. initially, I started to apply only to solve the grey hair problem, but I started to learn the other benefits. especially after my first born, I had a severe problem with hair loss. I noticed the henna hair oil helped me to solve my hair loss problem. I use this oil or hair pack on weekends just before my bath and I keep it for a minimum of 30 minutes. also with the hair pack, I apply it generously so that it reaches the roots of the hair. if you are not comfortable with the texture of the hair pack, you may just stick to henna hair oil and apply it for 2-3 days a week.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the mehandi hair pack recipe and henna hair oil. firstly, in this recipe, I have used henna powder which I got from my local Indian grocery store. having said that, if you can get fresh leaves you should use them instead of henna powder. secondly, when you apply a hair pack to your hair, you may have to clean and shampoo it properly otherwise it may smell and embarrass you in public. hence it is wise to shampoo it thoroughly, perhaps twice. lastly, the oil when mixed with henna can turn out to be solid at room temperature. hence you may have to reheat it before use, especially if you are living in a cold climate region.
