What is Henna? 

Henna is a dye prepared from the plant Lawsonia inermis, historically used for body art and hair color across various cultures. Unlike chemical dyes, henna binds with the keratin in hair, enhancing your natural color and adding shine without penetrating the hair shaft and causing damage.

Benefits of Henna Hair Color 

• Natural Conditioning: Henna naturally conditions hair, improving texture and adding volume. 

• Strengthens Hair: The natural properties of henna help reinforce the hair's structure, reducing breakage and enhancing resilience. This makes henna an excellent choice for those looking to strengthen their hair and maintain healthy growth. 

• Safe for All Hair Types: Henna is safe for all hair types. 

• Long-Lasting Color: Henna provides a long-lasting color that fades gradually, allowing for less maintenance. 

• Variety of Shades: Despite popular belief, henna isn’t just red. It comes in a variety of shades from deep burgundy to rich chestnut and even black. 

• Grey Coverage: Complete coverage of grey hair
  

Before and After Transformations 

From Dull to Radiant 

• Before: Imagine hair that’s lost its luster, appearing tired and washed out. 

• After: Post-henna, it provides hair color that's radian and healthy-looking, turning heads wherever you go!

Covering Grays with Depth and Dimension 

• Before: Graying hair that many feel adds years to their appearance. 

• After: Henna not only covers grays but does so by blending them into a natural-looking, multi-dimensional color that revitalizes the hair’s overall appearance.

From Brittle to Bouncy 

• Before: Brittle, dry hair that lacks elasticity and shine. 

• After: After a henna treatment, hair becomes more resilient and displays a healthy bounce with enhanced body and shine.
  

How to Apply Henna Hair Color 

• Preparation: Mix the henna to achieve a toothpaste-like consistency. For red henna, add red tea or lemon juice to the mixture instead of water, and for brown henna, add coffee. You can also add a teaspoon of Henna Infused Hair and Skin Oil or Deep Conditioning Hair Mask, for added moisture. 

• Application: Apply the paste thoroughly from roots to ends, wearing gloves to avoid staining your hands. 

• Processing Time: For classic henna, leave it in your hair for 3 to 4 hours. For 30 minute henna, leave it on for 30 minutes, but if you have stubborn grey hairs, leave it on for 45 minutes to an hour. 

• Rinse: Wash out the henna with cool water and a sulfate-free shampoo. 

Tips for Best Results 

• Strand Test: Always do a strand test to predict the color outcome and ensure no allergic reactions. 

• Protect Your Skin: Apply a thin layer of oil around your hairline to prevent staining. 

• Rinse Out: Rinse with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow up with Henna Infused Shampoo and Conditioner which are sulfate-free, paraben-free, and color-safe.

• Avoid Frequent Washing: To prolong your color, reduce the frequency of your hair washes.

• Touch-Ups: Henna can be safely used for regular maintenance. 

• Moisturize: After coloring with henna, it’s crucial to keep your hair moisturized. This is where a henna-infused hair serum comes into play. This lightweight, non-greasy serum is designed to nourish your hair, enhance the vibrancy of the henna color, and add a beautiful shine.
