i henna-ed yesterday.
i needed gloves to apply it (only took me about 5 minutes), and left it on overnight.
when i washed it out, first i just stood under the showerhead for about a minute, and let the water wash off the henna from the top of my head. then i got in with my fingers, gently squeezing sections of hair to get the henna out. once i removed all the henna i could without product, i applied vo5 conditioner to my hair, let it sit for a minute or two, then rinsed it out. i repeated the conditioner thing 2 more times, and then all the henna was out of my hair.
after that, i deep conditioned, and rinsed. no tangles, and no shampoo was necessary. i think the trick is to find a conditioner with a TON of slip to it. a cheap one, because you'll need a lot of it. altogether, i used half a 99 cent bottle of vo5 silky experiences conditioner.
the whole washing process took me about 20 minutes.

Girl, no. 
I don't have time to stand there and try to smooth the henna through my roots like that - I dump it on, and squish it in, trying to work in the same direction I combed my hair so I don't ahve to worry about getting it tangled.
I henna & DC - I clean/clarify my hair, DC it, henna, rinse, DC again. But then, I don't use shampoo at ALL.

I have to think about trying it without shampoo. I am due for henna on the Feb 3rd. We'll see.

I put mine on with gloves and a paint brush. (the big kind not the tiny ones) That way I can guide where it goes... and its not slopping everywhere.
