The word ‘natural’ itself is enough is influence you buy this natural dye made from henna leaves! This particular natural dye gives nice copper-reddish tones to your hair which are semi-permanent. Read on to know more about Henna:
Henna seals the oil into your hair, leaving it super conditioned, and it helps close off the cuticle. After a henna (true or neutral) treatment, you can expect less frizz, more manageability, and a very healthy shine.
Henna also helps protect hair from sun damage. As a matter of fact, Henna has gained commercial leverage as a hair conditioner and to stimulate hair growth; scientific studies have even proven that Henna is a better hair conditioner than other commercial conditioners. Regular use texturizes hair, giving it more body and making it visibly fuller.
Henna dye tends to stain everything it comes in contact with. So, before applying it onto your hair, make sure you wear gloves, apply Vaseline on the forehead and skin surrounding your hair and apply it when you are in the bathroom.
Henna will not even-out your hair tones. If you have highlights, even after you dye your hair with henna, you might still see your highlights but with reddish tones to it.
