Whether your are using henna for
hair or skin it is a powerful dye with conditioning properties. In addition to being used to dye hair, henna
is a hair growth remedy; it has many properties that benefit natural hair. When
henna is applied it puts a protective coating on the hair. Most people find that their strands are
thicker and stronger. Here I am referring to pure henna, many products that are
labeled "henna hair color" are actually full of chemicals that can
damage the hair. Stick with a trusted brand like Jamila or Reshma, or buy it
from a trusted natural herb supplier.
Some benefits of henna for hair:
Stronger strands/less breakage
Balance hair porosity
Reduces or eliminates dandruff
Smooths hair cuticle giving hair
a healthy appearance
Thickens hair
Promotes growth due to
antibacterial and antifungal properties
Less shedding
Some people report that henna
loosens their curl pattern, I would not consider this a benefit but some people
henna for this reason
Now I have to share that there
are some risks with using henna on your hair.
Please do a strand test before applying.
Henna can cause brittleness and breakage for some people. I prefer to
only use henna when added to a moisturizing conditioner. You should not use ANY products containing
protein following a henna conditioner or you may experience severe breakage. Henna acts like a protein, strengthening the
hair, so adding a protein to henna will most likely lead to brittle hair.
How I use henna - I add henna to
my conditioner. I mix the henna with
water, then add it into a moisturizing conditioner. I allow the henna to sit on my hair from 1-4
hours. Some of the dye deposits onto my hair some and I receive the
conditioning properties without the breakage.
I personally think women with coarse hair strands, or very dense/thick
hair need to be careful about using henna.
It may actually make your hair more difficult to manage. If you want to henna your natural hair please
do a strand test first and try a less potent formula like adding a bit to your
conditioner before you commit to doing a full treatment.
Why I use henna- I used henna to
reduce post-partum shedding and I truly believe it work. My edges did thin out but using henna has
helped them fill back in nicely. My hair
also just seemed fragile to me after the baby and it looked dull. I used the henna to help strengthen and
revive my hair. I thought I was going to
have to do a major cut but I think the combination of henna and amla got my
hair back on track.
My first henna for hair
experience was horrible. I want to share
the good and the bad so hopefully you don't make the same mistakes. I will NEVER do a full henna hair treatment
again. It is messy and it dried my hair
out.
I gave henna another try but this
time I added it to my conditioner. This time my hair looked and felt
great! It helped thicken up my edges and
strengthen my strands. I use
The flowering plant called
henna has been used for millenia as
body art and staining leather. You may have recently seen a henna tattoo (a
process called mehndi in India) on Vanessa Hudgens. I mention this because, of
course, she’s the standard of ancient body art beauty. Ahem.
True henna dyes your hair a
reddish brown color. The henna I bought wasn’t actually henna – it was a
mixture of indigo, “neutral henna,” and other plants. There were no ingredients
on the container, but I can only assume there was no henna in the mixture I
used, because there were zero red highlights left after I finished. We’re going
to call it “henna” for reading ease, though.
You can purchase henna at
Mountain Rose Herbs (like me!), natural food stores, and Nepalese or Indian
shops. It will be considerably less expensive than traditional chemical hair
colorants.
Neutral henna is actually a plant
called Cassia obovata – it’s not “true henna” at all. But it gives your hair
incredible shine and bounce, nonetheless.
Henna seals the oil into your
hair, leaving it super conditioned, and it helps close off the cuticle. After a
henna (true or neutral) treatment, you can expect less frizz, more
manageability, and a very healthy shine. (I’ve even read that it helps stop
dandruff and gets rid of head lice.)
Henna color fades naturally
within about 4 months, so it won’t leave you with weird-looking roots or
otherwise scary streaks.

henna, here’s this handy post I found on Mountain Rose Herbs – and the part I
