How do I mix and use this neutral henna powder as a conditioning mask, and how often can I do it?

The product is a single-plant powder that you prepare fresh before use. To make the mask, stir the cassia with hot water until it forms a smooth herbal paste; let it cool to a comfortable temperature before putting it on hair. The paste coats the hair shaft with a light film, which can make strands feel softer, look less rough, and become easier to comb after rinsing.

Apply the mixture mainly to the lengths and ends rather than the scalp, since the goal is conditioning and a tidier finish, not cleansing the roots. After the paste has been in the hair for a period that suits your routine, rinse it out thoroughly with water. Many people use it when hair feels coarse, looks fluffy in humid weather, or simply as a conditioning step between regular washing products.

Because it is a botanical treatment rather than a silicone-based conditioner, it works best as a periodic mask instead of an everyday product. A common approach is to use it every couple of weeks or whenever the lengths look dull from styling or seasonal dryness, then return to your normal shampoo and conditioner. If your hair feels weighed down or overly soft, space the treatments further apart. Store the dry powder in a closed container away from moisture so it stays usable for the next fresh preparation.
