The power of henna hair dye

You have probably heard of henna hair dye, but do you really know what henna is? Henna is a plant based powder which colors hair naturally. Get glorious copper, brown, or black shades that enhance your natural tones.

Henna and hair dye

Henna, also known as Lawsonia Inermis, is a tall shrub found in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Leaves from the henna plant are harvested in the summer, then dried, crushed, and ground into a powder. This reddish-brown powder is used on textiles, leather, body art (mehndi) and hair dye. Many women who are looking for a more natural option to coloring their hair tend to try henna hair color. Adaptable for all hair shades, henna hair dye can be mixed with other natural ingredients – like indigo – to produce varied tones ranging from blonde to dark brown shades.
