Natural Way
Henna’s
not just the hippie colour your mum experimented with in the 70s. It’s the
choice of organic hair dye for anyone who wants colour, gloss and vibrance,
without the chemicals. Draw up a chair, grab a brew and get the lowdown on
natural hair dye, right here, right now.
What is Henna?
Henna is a plant native to the Middle East that has been
used to decorate the hair and body for thousands of years. Lush Henna blends
the finest Persian henna with Fair Trade cocoa butter and ingredients like
indigo herb and fresh organic lemon juice to create bricks of organic hair dye.
They’re simple to use and give wonderful, lustrous color.
There are a few
things that are a must when choosing any henna powder:
a)
Fresh-
You must always buy fresh henna powder. If you want a great stain, don’t just
grab henna off the shelf.
b)
Body Art
Quality-This means that the henna powder is the best quality since they
take the leaves from the top of the plant with the most dye content. It also
means that it is 100% pure and natural.
c)
Finely Sifted-
None of that dirt, grit, sand, nor sticks help with getting a great staining
henna paste.
d)
Pure-
Must contain no pesticides or chemicals. No PPD nor any other powders or
ingredients. Only get 100% pure henna powder.
How do you use Henna?
Applying henna can get a little messy, so getting a friend
to give you a hand is, well, pretty handy (but going solo is fine too).
Henna is an efficient and long lasting natural hair dye.
What effect will henna have on very curly or
afro hair?
The overall result will depend on your hair colour and how
thoroughly you apply your henna: curly or afro hair may need more henna and
more time, depending on the length. Curly hair drinks up henna much more
quickly than straight hair because the kinks open the cuticle slightly, meaning
it tends to be more thirsty. Adding a little more water to your henna makes
application easier; if you have straight hair, stick to a thicker henna mixture
as this will adhere to hair more easily.
Does henna cover grey
hair?
Using henna on grey hair should be approached in a similar
way to colouring blonde hair. This is because ‘grey’ hair is an impression made
of a mix of hair that contains no colour and coloured hair.

Uses of Henna-
Historically, henna has been used for severe diarrhea caused
by a parasite (amoebic dysentery), cancer, enlarged spleen, headache, jaundice,
and skin conditions. These days, people take henna for stomach and intestinal
ulcers. Henna is sometimes applied directly to the affected area for dandruff,
eczema, scabies, fungal infections, and wounds. In manufacturing, henna is used
in cosmetics, hair dyes, and hair care products; and as a dye for nails, hands,
and clothing. People also use henna on the skin as temporary “tattoos.”
