100% Henna Hair Dye Properties
The good and not-so-good
First, the not-so-good news: Even though pure henna by itself is a natural hair dye, solely using pure henna for hair dye produces a red hair shade that is not very attractive. Traditional henna application generally produces a bright, bright red hair! Actually, the hair dye produces a red-orange or orange-red color (take your pick). Do you really want bright red-orange hair?
Also, traditional henna application can take several hours, sometimes a full day to achieve the desired results. This is because you must wait hours for the hair dye to release after mixing the powder. Then wait longer after application of the hair dye for complete henna hair color results.
Next, the good, actually great news: Henna hair dye colors hair by coating the hair shaft. It provides thickness to hair and adheres as a semi-permanent color. It’s an excellent gray hair cover. Each successive application does the same thing each time; resulting in increased strength and shine to your hair. With continued use, henna hair dye restores the acid/alkaline balance in the scalp. Damaged hair begins to heal and strands are protected from further damage and excessive dryness. Additionally, henna has been used for centuries as an effective aid to treat and prevent dandruff.
Chemical hair dye is proven inferior to the benefits of natural plant-based hair dye and extremely harmful to hair. Thus, pure henna highly recommended as a hair dye by dermatologists and health agencies (even the FDA of the United States).
