Dry scalp due to henna
Dr my scalp became dry and black due to henna & indigo powder. Due to this lot of hair loss, itching...
I have tried applying Aloe vera gel but still it's the same. Please suggest any remedies to get rid of this and also all my hair is grey.
I used to use 5 min hair colour long back but then it didn't give me any problem but since a couple of months I am getting reaction after using hair colour so I switched to indigo powder mix with henna and Amla powder. This worked for me. But now again this problem started.
Please help!
