Is Henna only good for coloring hair?

[Cayenne0622]

Okay, so I'm going through this shedding thing and I've been trying to wait for my hair to get back on track before I try anything new but Henna is all over this board and I just wonder about the benefits of using Henna. I have some "stress" grey hairs on the sides of my hair. I call them stress grey because they popped up while I was trying to finish up my last year of undergrad. So, besides coloring your hair, what are the benefits of henna?

A lot of people use it more for conditioning than color. I originally started using henna after a bad temp dye experience. I was using temp dyes every 6 weeks to cover gray. In May I started using henna to cover my gray and quickly discovered it is a wonderful conditioner.

Here's some more info on henna. It's still a work in progress.

Thanks. I'm thinking of trying Henna soon!

Not only is it a great color and conditioner, it also has been shown to help people with dandruff problems.
