1. As mentioned above, henna always goes well with shikakai, reetha, amla, neem, aloe vera and many other natural ingredients.
2. You can use three portions of henna powder and combine it with one portion of amla powder, shikakai powder, neem powder and reetha powder. You can even add a teaspoon of mustard seed powder.
3. Make a paste by adding a teaspoon of castor or olive oil and two teaspoons of curd. Oil will nourish the scalp and hair while the curd will help in conditioning. Achieve the desired consistency by adding water
4. "Henna has acidic properties which can be neutralized by adding components like curd. You can also try adding powdered flowers like hibiscus. The composition remains the same - 3:1 ratio," concluded Dr. Bharadwaj.
5. Let the mask sit for an hour and a half. In case you are pressed for time, take some steam or wrap a hot towel around your head (always wear a shower cap, you wouldn't want your towel to spoil). Rinse once done and use a mild, herbal shampoo.

All said and done, always consult your dermatologist to determine your hair type and accordingly create herbal masks and packs to suit your needs. A patch test is always advisable to know of any undetected allergies.
