Henna, a natural dye from the Lawsonia inermis plant, offers a chemical-free option to color hair. Perfect for those seeking a natural alternative to cover grays.
Henna binds well to gray hair, offering shades from red to brown. Mix with indigo or cassia for a wider color spectrum, providing an effective solution for those looking to mask grays.
Start with clean, dry hair, and apply henna paste evenly for the best coverage. A patch test ensures compatibility, while sectioning hair helps in thorough application.
Mix henna with an acidic liquid and let it sit before applying to hair. Wear gloves, use a brush for even coverage, and leave it on for 1-4 hours depending on desired intensity.
Maintain your henna color with sulfate-free shampoos and silicone-free conditioners. Regular touch-ups every 4-6 weeks keep grays covered and your color vibrant.
