Lustrous Henna® is an all-natural hair color for dying hair; it is a vegetable/plant based dye that includes pure, highly-sifted herbal henna, indigo leaf powder and other herbal extracts and powders.
Dark hair colors are naturally achieved resulting in excellent black hair color, dark brown hair color, brown hair color and many more, along with excellent gray hair coverage.
Henna hair dye is semi-permanent, also works as natural hair conditioner and helps with hair growth.
Let’s examine the mechanism of chemical hair dying versus natural hair coloring.
Mechanism of Hair Dying
Human Hair is a protein fiber made of two layers. The inner layer called cortex contains melanin. Melanin is a pigment which gives your hair shades of blonde, black, auburn or brown.
Cortex is covered by another layer called cuticle. Cuticle provides protection to cortex and luster to your hair. Cuticle is inert in nature so it cannot biologically or chemically absorb any color.
By Chemical Dye:
Most of the chemical dyes contain bleaching agents such as ammonia and/or peroxide which damage the outer most layer and create capillaries in hair shaft. Then PPD, OPD, MPD like chemical color fills these capillaries, enter in the inner layer and remain stuck inside, as permanent color. The next application again does the same on hair shaft. This results in loss of strength, roughness and permanent damage to hair.
By Natural Dye:
Natural Dye colors hair by coating the hair shaft. It provides thickness to hair and stick as a semi-permanent color. The next application again does the same and results in increase in strength and shine in your hair.
Conclusion:
Chemical Hair Dye is simply inferior to natural plant-based hair dye and extremely harmful to hair.
Using Lustrous Henna® all-natural hair color dye is superior and definitely results in healthy hair benefits for men and women.
