it with condish. That's how it's often applied for a henna gloss. I've used yoghurt mixed with the water and that has conditioned my hair and made it easy to rinse out. But conditioner would do the same thing. You may not get as dark a colour but the strand test will tell you. And the strand test will tell you too whether it will react unfavourably with the highlights. I think if it's been more than 2 months then it should be okay (according to my information sheet from Logona) but I'd definitely do a strand test first.

Conditioners:
A'Kin Protein or Moisturising Conditioner mixed with 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp coconut oil (dissolved in 1 tsp boiling water before adding conditioner).
Oils: Favourite is almond oil. Occasionally will use a blend of coconut, almond, olive in the ratio 2:1:1 in summer or as a deep oiling treatment.
Other: ACV infused with herbs (depending upon availability I use a selection of lavender, rosemary, cinnamon, sage, and thyme); BBB; wooden comb; Mason Pearson comb;
Logona herbal henna.
'Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfailing beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.' 1 Peter 3:3-4
