Watch Natural Hair colored with Henna As a natural hair stylist, I feel compelled to offer good, caring customer service. During my client consultations, I am asked about coloring hair. The common hair color questions are 1) when to color your hair? 2) how to color your hair? and 3) what are the best products for coloring your hair? In this way, we begin hair color consultations. First, I analyze the client’s hair; IE, Is the hair dry? Is the hair strong?
During these careful hair evaluations, I discover that some clients are not good candidates for chemical hair dyes. Also, I meet clients who have no desire to alter their natural hair with chemicals. Because of these conversations, I want to empower natural hair enthusiasts to consider henna.
What is Henna? Henna is a plant. Henna Dye is made by drying, milling, and sifting the leaves. The dry powder is mixed with lemon juice, strong tea, or other mildly acidic liquids to make a preparation with toothpaste-like consistency. When applied to hair and skin, henna will create a color stain.
As a prospect henna user, you should know the following:
- Henna color highlights your existing hair color, casts color shadows and is stimulated by sunlight; the color effects last up to 30 days
- Henna is a natural conditioner. It helps with hair strengthening and aids in shine
- Organic henna color is red. There are henna product lines that offer colors other than red, but these products will contain some additional chemicals to achieve a desired color.
