Henna has been used to change hair color for many years. This is one of the popular dyes given by nature. The habitat of this plant is Asia and Africa. It is a well-known remedy in northern Africa and the Middle East.

Pros of dyeing hair with henna

Among the advantages of dyeing hair with henna are:

cooling effect. Using henna will make you feel cool, which is why its use in summer is especially beneficial. It has antimicrobial properties;
henna leads. This is an excellent remedy for itching and irritation. Helps activate, gives hair health and strength;
henna Systematic use will help to completely paint over. It helps slow down the aging of curls.

Henna has many useful features:

green chlorophylls tone curls;
hennotaninic acid fights germs and fungi on the scalp. Hair becomes softer, stronger, more magnificent, dandruff disappears;
resins regenerate curls without weighing them down. After using henna, the hair is restored, but remains light;
tannin fights hair loss, strengthening roots;
polysaccharides are a natural conditioner. It moisturizes the skin, fights against;
acids reduce fat content, normalize the function of the glands;
pectins give additional volume;
essential oils have a positive effect on the skin and curls, strengthening them.

How henna works

The main principle of the action of henna on hair is that the plant contains Lawsone tannin molecules. They are not noticeable because they are masked by chlorophyll. When the leaves are crushed and mixed with acidified water, the molecules come out as the cellulose cell walls disappear. Dyes pass from the mixture, destroying the epidermis, into the hair shafts, they combine with keratin.

If this is too complicated an explanation, then this process is also described as follows: if a wet bag of tea is left on a white fabric, the tannin will turn into fibers. This leaves stains. And the longer the tea sits on the fabric, the darker the color of the stain.

Therefore, before starting the dyeing procedure, henna must be diluted with citrus juice and allowed to brew overnight. During this period, the pigments are completely released.

Henna is a plant substance that has a positive effect on the overall health of hair, as well as its appearance.

The final color directly depends on the shade of the hair, because the dye molecules are mixed with keratin. Therefore, each curl is different in color, and all people will get different shades.

The use of henna gives hair shine, smoothness, and regenerates it after chemical dyes. But before using henna, you should try it on one of the strands.

Henna preparation

To prepare henna for dyeing, you need to mix the powder with slightly acidified water for several reasons. Cellulose is dissolved in paint to release the pigment. The hydrogen in the dye particles must remain until the keratin and henna bind. This will make it possible to make the shade dark and maintain it. If hydrogen does not have time to attach to the coloring particles, the color turns out bright orange and quickly fades.

Just mix paint and lemon juice. If your skin reacts to lemon with irritation, then choose other citrus juices. Vinegar and wine also work, but leave an unpleasant odor. Tea with lemon is also suitable.

Remember the rules for mixing henna. This will help avoid unpleasant situations and unwanted hair color.

You should not add yogurt, because... its protein prevents the release of pigment and “eats” the paint. It is not recommended to mix henna with coffee. It changes color, and the curls will get an unpleasant odor. If you mix henna and coffee, you will get a deeper chestnut shade. 2 tablespoons are added to the composition. to restore depleted curls. Clove powder enhances color but can cause skin irritation. Never use boiling water to dilute henna. This gives a coppery orange tint to the locks.

The diluted henna needs to be covered with film and allowed to stand overnight. During this period, the dye will come out and it will be ready for manipulation. To speed up the process, place the dishes in a warm place (35 degrees). Then the paint will be ready in 2 hours.

So, how much henna is required for coloring:

if the curls are short, then 100 g is enough;
for hair reaching the shoulders, it takes 2 times more - 200 g;
if the curls are just below the shoulders - 300 g;
for curls to the waist, half a kilogram of henna is required.

One spoon contains 7 g of henna. And in half a glass - 50 grams.

There are several important tips for using henna:

it is permanent paint. It is not removed from the hair;
hair slowly darkens. If the shade is too saturated, do not worry. It will take a couple of days, and it will become darker;
with each procedure, more dyes are absorbed into the hair. If the curls have darkened a little, carry out the procedure again;
if you like the shade, you don’t need it to darken, then paint only the roots;
You can dye your hair with henna after regular dyes. Before doing this, do a test on an inconspicuous area of hair;
In addition, it is important to check henna for an allergic reaction.

Rules for applying henna

So, let's look at the rules for applying henna to hair:

Henna is used on clean hair to achieve better results.

It does not matter whether they are dry or wet. But it is better to carry out manipulations on damp curls, so the paint is absorbed more. Don't forget about testing.

You need to apply cream along the hairline and on the ears. This will help avoid staining the skin.
Divide your hair into 3 cm sections. This approach helps to better cover the curls, without skipping.
Use gloves to protect your hands.
Apply henna along the entire length of the curl.

Take a small strand each time. Manipulations continue until all curls are covered evenly. If the paint remains, it needs to be spread. After application, a slight heaviness is felt.

Leave henna to act.

For a light shade it takes 40 minutes under a towel and 60 without it. Dark hair will need at least 50 minutes with a towel and 80 without it.

Rinse your curls with heated water.

Henna takes a long time to wash off. Divide your curls into strands and wash them one by one.

Then use your usual shampoo.

Coloring roots with henna

To dye your roots with henna, there are 2 ways. The first is this:

the paint must be applied to the roots with a special tool;
making movements towards the right ear, it is necessary to separate the curls by 1-2 cm;
when you reach the ear, you need to move all the hair to the other side and start from the center of the head, moving to the left;
After painting the front part, move on to the back part. You will need 2 mirrors. One is behind and the other is in front. Apply in the same way: divide the curls by 2 cm;
After completing the manipulations, cover the hair with film and a towel.

For the second method, you will need to purchase a hair dye bottle or piping bag. These devices help simplify the painting process and make it more accurate.

How to wash off henna

There is a warning on the bags stating that henna cannot be washed off. And chemical dyes cannot be used on hair that has been dyed with it. Therefore, there is an opinion that henna is an overly persistent dye and cannot be removed in any way. But is it? How to wash off henna yourself?

Various methods have been invented for this. The most effective result is achieved within 14 days after painting, but older paints are also washed off. One method is as follows: hair is lubricated with 70% alcohol and left for 5 minutes. Now you need to prepare a mask from vegetable oil or special oil, which is used to remove paint. Apply lengthwise and cover with a towel. The higher the oil temperature, the better the result. Leave the mask on for 120 minutes. If you warm it up with a hairdryer, the interval is reduced to half an hour. Now wash it off. Oils are excellent at removing paint.

There are several ways to remove henna from hair. But experts say that the most effective is using oils.

Another way - . Mix 200 grams with 40 grams of yeast. Apply to hair and let work. This method removes about 20% of henna. But your hair needs to be washed with laundry soap. And repeat the manipulations every day for a week.

Another option is to pour 3 tablespoons of vinegar into a bowl of water, dip your hair for 10 minutes, then rinse and apply conditioner. The bright red color will be replaced by copper.

There is a way to remove henna with the addition of basma. It is brewed and mixed with olive oil. In a heated form, the mixture is rubbed and left for half an hour. To achieve the result, repeat a couple of times. Another option with basma: brew and lubricate the dried curls for 20 minutes. Helps restore natural color.

It is prepared as follows: juice and finely chopped lemon are applied to curls for 3 hours. Repeat three times a week. The effect is achieved after 7 procedures. Coffee also changes hair color: mix 4 tablespoons with 2 tablespoons of henna and dye your curls again.

Lubricate the hair with sour cream for half an hour, warm the hair. This will visibly lighten the curls.

If you believe the reviews, the most effective results are achieved by using heated oils. The result depends on the structure of the hair. And if these remedies do not help, then you can change the red color by painting with basma.

Express method of henna staining

For the express henna dyeing method, you will need 50 g for short hair and 200 g for long hair:

henna is diluted with heated water until it reaches a sour cream consistency (about 1 tbsp per 1 tbsp of water). Place to remove lumps. Then cool. Drip a little concentrated oil into the composition. This way the shade will be richer and the dye will apply more evenly to the hair;
cover clothes, apply cream along the hairline and on the ears;
Henna is used to dye washed hair. The process begins from the back of the head. After this, the curls need to be combed with a comb and massaged for uniform distribution;
The hair is covered with film and fixed. Henna is more effective in warm conditions, so wrap a towel on top.

The average period for coloring reaches 1-1.5 hours. If you need to strengthen your curls and not change the shade, then leave the henna on for 10 minutes. After time, the hair is thoroughly rinsed with warm water until it becomes clear. If gray strands turn pale or yellowish, repeat the procedure.

Questions and answers

Let's look at popular questions and answers about henna:

Can I use other colors after dyeing with henna?

The answer is yes. You can apply the color after pure natural henna. But there is a point that is important to know: ordinary dyes behave slightly differently compared to use on undyed hair.

Using regular dye will not disturb the structure of your hair, but will give an unexpected result; usually, the color turns out darker than expected. Chemical paint is washed off faster than usual, because... henna gives hair smoothness and reduces porosity. Because of this, the paint is not able to absorb well.

Often after henna you can achieve a darker color by using non-natural dyes. For better absorption, lighten your curls and then color them. But bleaching hair will be difficult, because henna prevents the absorption of dyes.

Remember! If henna was used with basma, then using regular dye will give the hair shades of green.

Is it possible to restore your color after henna?

No, henna is almost impossible to wash off. To return your color, your hair will have to be lightened.

How to store henna

It is important to know how to properly store henna in order to preserve its properties. The powder is kept in places without humidity in sealed packaging. Henna can retain its properties for a couple of years, and sometimes longer if frozen in a tightly sealed container. It can still be stored refrigerated or cool in the dark. Henna can be stored at a temperature of +21 degrees, but not more than 1 year.

When stored properly, henna can retain its properties for several years. The option of freezing the finished mixture will help speed up the next coloring.

The mixture can be stored in the freezer for six months. It is important for the henna to release the dye before going into the chamber. This remedy will have a stronger effect. It can be defrosted, then frozen again a couple of times without losing its strength.

Freezing preserves the dye, but it is used in a warm place, so the shelf life is reduced. Try to keep the composition out of the freezer for the shortest period of time.

Acid additives (lemon or fruit juice) extend the life of the substance, so they help preserve the paint during frequent defrosting.

Peculiarities

In essence, henna cream is a product that is completely ready for use. All that is required from the buyer is to open the package and apply the product to the strands in accordance with the instructions.

From the very first moment of its appearance on store shelves, many women fell in love with these products and began to sell out almost instantly. This rather high popularity can be explained by the following features of this product:

It has a natural and safe composition, without ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. This allows you to freely use henna cream without worrying about the negative impact on your curls.

The ability to safely dye your hair almost any shade. The color range of this product is now very wide. It includes red, black, brown and red shades.

There are no restrictions on the number of uses per month. If hair dye is recommended to be used no more than once every four weeks, then you can use henna cream much more often.

Low cost. As practice shows, one pack of mass-market hair dye costs the same as three packs of henna cream.

It is not surprising that all these features together easily ensured that henna cream became so popular. It is especially worth noting that it is commercially available in several forms: for hair and for eyelashes and eyebrows.

Compound

It has already been said earlier that the composition of this product is absolutely safe for curls, because it contains only natural ingredients:

Irish henna. It is on the basis of this component that this product is created. Since ancient times, this plant was considered one of the most beneficial for hair strands. It strengthens, restores, accelerates hair growth and adds volume.

Burr oil. This component is optional, but it is this cream with burdock oil that is most beneficial for curls. This component actively nourishes the hair, gives it shine, restores its structure, and also has a beneficial effect on growth.

Protein compounds, in particular keratin. It acts as a building material for the growth of new hairs, and also helps restore their structure and increase elasticity.

Almond and wheat germ oil restore strands, protect them from the appearance of split ends, actively nourish the scalp and the strands themselves. Also, these two ingredients increase hair elasticity and enhance its natural shine.

To give additional volume to the strands, as well as to strengthen the hair follicles, add vitamin B5.

Ginseng extract returns natural strength, beauty and health to curls. In addition, it is he who prolongs the life of the roots.

Glycerol used to maximize hair hydration, add shine, and also to eliminate flaking and itching.

If henna cream is a coloring product, then it contains natural coloring pigments. Of course, the composition of this product is much safer for hair and many times healthier than conventional dyes.

Do you dye clean or dirty hair?

Many women who decide to dye their hair with henna cream for the first time do not know how to use it correctly. The instructions for this product say that it should be applied to damp hair, but does not indicate whether it is clean or dirty.

In this case, many representatives of the fair sex are put off by the fact that ordinary dyes must be applied to dirty hair, so this product is used according to the same principle. This is not entirely correct. Henna cream has a more gentle composition, so it cannot harm the curls, and additional oily protection of the hairs, on the contrary, can prevent the correct, uniform coloring of the curls. Therefore, it is best to apply this product to clean, freshly washed strands.

In addition, do not forget that this product is washed off without using shampoo, which means that if the strands were dirty, then after dyeing they will remain the same.

The exception is those cases when the hair itself is very light, thin and porous. They can be dyed within the first two days after washing your hair. You just need to pre-wet your curls with clean, warm water.

How to choose?

In order not to be disappointed in your new acquisition, you must take a very responsible approach to choosing and purchasing this product. The first thing to remember is that tinted henna in the form of a cream is not suitable for eyelashes and eyebrows. They need to be painted with another variety of this product. Otherwise, the final result may be unpredictable.

It is best to give preference to products that have been released recently. During long-term storage, most of the beneficial properties of this product simply evaporate, and the coloring result may differ from that declared by the manufacturer.

Liquid henna, which is sold in finished form, should actually have the consistency of cream or liquid sour cream. In no case should it be too liquid, otherwise difficulties will arise when applying it. It's quite easy to check this. You just need to crush the pack in your hands. If the henna is too liquid, the packaging will wrinkle easily.

You should decide in advance on the desired shade. Today, the color palette of this product consists of 9 tones. There are also shades that are very similar to each other. Therefore, it is best to purchase several identical packs of henna cream at once for further use.

If a colorless product is used, it should be white or light green in color. Coloring henna should have a shade close to the final hair color. You should know that black henna is made using chemical additives and basma. These products should be used with caution. And it is better to give preference to the remedy that is the most natural, that is, it is made on the basis of henna and basma, without the use of paraphenylenediamine.

If paint or tint balm was used the day before, then it is better to refuse to purchase and use henna cream in the next 15 days. Otherwise, the very result of using this tool can become truly unpredictable.

If you decide to use henna for hair for the first time, then it is best to purchase a colorless product. Using it once, you will be able to evaluate the quality of the selected product and company, see its effect on the hair, and also be able to make sure that there is no allergic reaction to this product without a radical change in image. Next time it will be possible to acquire the shade you like without any fear.

How to apply it correctly?

To achieve maximum results, it is necessary to apply henna cream correctly, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. This is the only way to achieve maximum effect.

First of all, it is necessary to say about the frequency of use of this product. If a colorless version of henna is used, then it is usually used twice a week. If a coloring cream based on this plant is used, then the frequency of its use directly depends on the frequency of shampooing. This type of dyeing is not permanent, and the color intensity decreases after each contact of the hair with water and detergents.

In general, painting at home is carried out in several stages:

Washing your hair or, if possible, wetting clean strands with warm water.

Combing curls.

Apply henna cream to the entire length of the curls at once. This tool, unlike conventional hair dyes, is recommended to be applied immediately to the entire length of the hair. For the best and even application, after the distribution of henna, the hair must be massaged, performing movements that mimic washing the head.

Warming of strands. To do this, you need to put a special plastic cap on your head, and if it is missing, then just wrap your head with a bag. From above it is necessary to insulate the hair either with a special hat or a large warm towel.

The mixture is left in this form on the strands for the time specified by the manufacturer. Depending on the chosen tone, it can vary from 20 to 55 minutes.

After the specified period of time, the product is removed from the hair with ordinary cool water. It is best to use running water. It is necessary to rinse off until the water flowing from the strands becomes transparent. To fix the result of staining, it is recommended to perform the last rinse with water acidified with vinegar. The same should be done after each hair wash.

Drying hair. After dyeing, it is best to dry the strands with a hairdryer with cool air. This will remove any henna particles remaining in the hair.

After the drying of the curls is completed, if necessary, you can still comb your hair, lowering your head into them for 5-7 minutes. This will allow you to completely remove particles of the product from the strands.

As you can see, dyeing strands with cream henna at home is not such a difficult task. The main thing is that in addition to the desired shade of hair, you can also further improve and strengthen your strands.

It should also be remembered that these products can quite strongly stain the skin of the hands and the nails themselves, and if it gets on the skin and prolonged contact with it, paint stains may remain on the body. Therefore, before proceeding with the application of the product, it is necessary to put on gloves on your hands and cover your shoulders with a cape or towel. If there are no special gloves at hand, then the most inexpensive medical ones are quite suitable. It is not necessary to use gloves at all if light-colored henna is used, but for black, dark brown and bright red shades, their use is highly desirable.

One of the most important indicators of the quality of hair coloring products is the final result of its use. In the case of using coloring henna cream, the result of its regular use will be:

Shiny, beautiful hair.

Strengthening hair follicles. Thanks to this, hair loss is actively reduced, their ends stop splitting, and most importantly, hair growth is enhanced.

General improvement of curls. With regular use of these products, even the most severely damaged strands can again become beautiful and healthy.

Beautiful, natural and very bright hair color. Using henna for dyeing strands, you do not have to worry that the final result of dyeing will look unnatural.

In the event that this product is applied to previously dyed hair, the end result of its use may differ in color from that declared by the manufacturer. Therefore, it is necessary to use henna cream no earlier than two weeks after the paint.

Do not forget that this coloring is not permanent. The duration of the effect obtained will directly depend on the frequency of washing your hair, as well as on the frequency of using henna itself. The less often you wash your hair and the more often you use this coloring cream, the longer you will be able to enjoy a beautiful, new hair shade.

The overall effect of using this product is to eliminate hair loss, improve overall health and improve appearance.

How long does it last?

The durability of coloring agents for curls is one of the main criteria for their selection. But this rule does not fully apply to henna cream. This is explained by the fact that such a product is mostly intended for general health and strengthening of curls.

If we talk directly about its durability, then it directly depends on the following factors:

How close the chosen shade of the product is to your natural hair color. The closer these tones are to each other, the longer the coloring effect will be.
Frequency of hair washing. Coloring pigments are intensively removed from the hair every time you wash it. Therefore, the more often you use shampoo, the less long-lasting the henna will be.
Duration of sun exposure. In the sun, the colors fade, just like the hair itself. To prolong the durability of the resulting shade, it is recommended to protect the strands from direct sunlight on especially bright and hot days.
Frequency of use also directly affects the durability of the results obtained. The more often you use henna cream, the longer the result can be maintained.

It is especially worth noting that the darker shades in the palette have higher durability. They are completely washed off from the hair approximately 3 weeks after a single use. Light colors cannot boast such a long lifespan. As a rule, they are not noticeable on the hair after 10 days.

If you go to the website of the Fito cosmetics company, you can find the following information about this dye - henna cream is a natural hair dye (consists of 100% natural ingredients and enriched with oils). And the convenience of the product lies in its ease of use - the buyer receives a bag with a ready-made coloring mixture that does not need to be diluted with water, such as regular henna powder. However, the buyer should know that henna cream from Phytocosmetics is not at all the product that we buy in regular packs with natural henna. To understand this, just look at the composition of the henna cream indicated on the packaging:

In first place are water and henna (lavsonia), followed by vegetable oils, ginseng extract, glycerin, keratin, panthenol, preservatives and synthetic dyes.

The difference between this composition and the one you make yourself from regular henna powder (henna + water + oils) is the presence of moisturizing additives (panthenol, keratin, glycerin), preservatives and dyes. Moisturizing additives help make hair softer and smoother, synthetic dyes help diversify shades, and preservatives help preserve this whole mixture for a certain period of time. It is possible that this dye will not be suitable for people with sensitive scalps, as synthetic pigments can cause irritation. There is also a high probability of increasing hair porosity, which will make it drier and brittle.

Cream-henna Phytocosmetics has the properties of a tint. Unlike regular henna, the hair color is washed off after a couple of weeks. So the only advantage this product has over regular henna powder is the variety of shades; in everything else, this product loses.

If you decide to try one of the shades of this dye for yourself, a palette will come in handy. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not give an accurate description of the color, and the buyer can only guess about the color nuances of each of them.
