No, it's never become dry from using shikakai, though i never have used it on hair that hasn't been thoroughly oiled.
The conditioning herbs i use vary, but powdered methi seed is always included (left overnight for it to swell and release the mucilage) others i include are amla, brahmi, bhringraj, kapur kachli. I sometimes mix some yogurt with it for extra conditioning, or aloe or honey...just depends on my mood really.
