Benefits:
- Natural Color: Henna provides a rich, natural color that effectively covers gray hair. It offers a range of shades from deep red to dark brown, depending on the formulation.
- Chemical-Free: Unlike synthetic dyes, henna is made from natural plant leaves, reducing the risk of harsh chemical exposure.
- Conditioning Properties: Henna conditions and strengthens hair, promoting a healthy shine and reducing breakage.
- Long-Lasting: Henna stains the hair shaft, leading to a longer-lasting color that doesn’t fade as quickly as some chemical dyes.
How to Use:
- Preparation: Mix henna powder with warm water to form a thick paste. Let it sit for a few hours to release the dye.
- Application: Apply the paste evenly to clean, dry hair, ensuring full coverage of gray areas. Use gloves to avoid staining your hands.
- Processing Time: Allow the henna to sit for 1-3 hours, depending on the desired color intensity.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with water until the water runs clear. Avoid shampooing for 24-48 hours to let the color set.
- Maintenance: Maintain the color by conditioning your hair regularly and avoiding harsh shampoos.
