Fairtrade Vegan Indian Henna

An ancient way to color your hair. A safe and healthy way to do it. TEA imports this first Henna from India, the product comes from a Fair Trade project, as it is supplied to us by Naturveda Biotech of Pondicherry, our commercial partner for many years. Henna, in addition to dyeing the hair naturally, strengthens and thickens it, giving it more volume. Regular use of Henna sanitizes and strengthens the scalp, disinfecting and sanitizing it. Henna strengthens the hair, leaving it shiny and preventing the problem of dandruff. In Arab countries, the use of Henna is also considered a good habit, and as respect for oneself, for its natural antiseptic functions.

Variants: Red Henna; Mahogany Henna; Indigo Henna (black), Neutral Henna - 100 g pack

Does not contain: many commercial hennas contain Monosodium Picrammate, a synthetic fixative that we do not appreciate, even if it makes the application and result quicker and more effective.

RED HENNA: Red Henna on brown hair has copper highlights, on dark hair has Titian highlights with the ability to cover white hair, on blond hair has a red-orange color.

How to use:

Prepare a paste by mixing the required amount of powder with hot water (50°) to obtain a smooth and creamy paste. Apply to freshly washed damp hair starting from the roots and massaging them with your hands, then gather them under a shower cap and a woolen hat. The humidity provided by the cap and the heat are important factors for the release of the color. To obtain colored highlights, leave on for about an hour; to obtain a more intense color, leave on for two to three hours, then rinse with water until all residue is eliminated and until the rinsing water is clear. Then dry with a hairdryer for 10 minutes to obtain a better result. In the following 24 hours the color continues to fix and mature, darkening further.

Don't forget to protect your hands by using disposable gloves and clothes: henna stains are difficult to remove.
