Hennais a flowering plant! That is used to dye hair, skin, and clothes for thousands of years. The plant can be found in the subtropical region of Asia, Africa, and northern Australia. India, in particular, has a rich history with henna and cultivates the most high-quality henna crops in the world. The crops are then processed and used to makebody art tattooand to makehenna hair dye.

The powder comes from the leaves of the henna plant which contain the red coloring pigment (lawsone). Lawsone is at its strongest when the leaves are ground into apowder. The lawsone pigment colors orange/red.

The Henna deposits the Lawsone pigment (which is the coloring agent) on the outside of the hair cuticles. As the dye coats the hair strand and settles, it will bind to the keratin of the hair.

The color darkens as the dye molecules absorb deeper into the hair binding to more protein. It also maintains the hair’s natural highlights and undertones, creating a more natural-looking dye than your regular chemical hair dyes.

Besides coloring your hair in the safest way possible, henna has a host of other benefits as well.Henna helps balance out oil production on the scalp while boosting hair growth. Henna also repairs and strengthens the hair, and detoxes your scalp and hair while it colors. Providing healthier hair.

Yes. While the color may fade a bit after repeated washing and exposure to the elements, henna is permanent as it binds to the keratin in your hair. The only way to (naturally) remove henna is to let your hair grow out, or do an oil cleanse. The color will be most vibrant for 6-8 weeks after applying.

We always recommend you consult with your doctor before you try any product out there. That said, henna is a great natural alternative for chemical-based dye, which in turn have their own side-effects linked to the development of certain cancer.

Yes, 99% of customers switch over to our henna because of bad reactions from chemical dyed hair. As our henna does not contain any PPD’s or metallic salts, you will not experience any damage using henna on top of chemically treated hair. You will notice henna will actually help repair your damaged hair. We do recommend always doing a strand test to check what color your hair will end up being before applying the henna to your entire head. You can do this test by retrieving hairs from your hairbrush and coloring those, or testing on a small patch of hair behind your ear.

Always do a strand test to see how the henna colors your hair, especially if you are using indigo. Sometimes indigo will make the hair look green when used over chemically treated hair (this will usually fade after a couple of days). You can do this strand test by harvesting hair from a hairbrush, applying the henna over those hairs and seeing the results after rinsing/drying that hair. 

You can color your chemically dyed hair with henna. Just be aware that the henna will have to strip the chemicals from your hair before it can color your hair, and it may take 2-3 applications for the henna to color properly. We usually suggest waiting a few weeks between chemically coloring and coloring with henna so the chemicals can fade and make the henna’s job easier, but you can use the henna as soon as you wish. The henna will help repair any damage caused by the chemical dye, and leave your hair healthy and strong.
