Your Summer Hair Color Starts Now: Prepping With Henna

Summer is calling, and all we can think about is sunshine, beach waves, chilling by the water... AND a perfect excuse for a hair makeover, right? Wait, wait, wait... Before you get all excited and book that salon appointment and get yourself into the cruel trap of chemical dyes, why not discuss something natural, and safe that doesn’t make you repent?

Henna: The OG Hair Dye

Long before these fancy boxed dyes and chemical treatments, there was Henna - a plant-based, natural, and harm-free way to color your hair. People, especially women, across various cultures have trusted Henna for centuries and continue to do so. Unlike the chemical colors that come packed with multiple hair problems like dryness, dullness, and hair fall, Henna brings color and care in one. It wraps each strand in a layer of natural pigment, enhancing your hair’s existing tone while nourishing it from root to tip. Result? Silky, smooth, and nourished hair.

Why Henna is Perfect for Summer

While we all love soaking in the sun and getting that beautiful sun-kissed glow, our hair does not feel the same way. Exposure to UV rays, saltwater, sand, chlorine, and heat - these are everything that your hair despises. These cause moisture loss, dryness, dullness, and brittleness, making your hair look lifeless.

Here's how Henna protects your hair from sun damage:

  • Seals in Moisture by coating the hair shaft

  • Strengthens Strands to reduce breakage and split ends

  • Adds a Natural UV Barrier that helps protect against sun damage

  • Soothes the Scalp, which can be irritated from heat and humidity

Unlike chemical dyes that strip hair, henna adds shine and richness while improving your hair’s health over time. And since it’s natural and free from ammonia, parabens, and harsh chemicals, you can feel confident in what you’re putting on your head.
