Henna is a naturally occurring dye that is used to dye hair. What makes henna so unique is that it does not damage the hair, and looks completely natural. The color range that henna dyes hair is between auburn to burgundy.

Is henna bad for your hair?

No, real henna is not bad for your hair. But be careful, henna only comes in one color - reddish orange. If the product claims to dye your hair any other color, it's not pure henna - so read what else is in there. And avoid black henna at any cost. It's not henna at all, but a very nasty chemical that can be toxic. But if you want to dye your hair in the salon it can be bad. Henna contains metallic salts that react with other hair dyes. If you went to the salon and failed to mention that you use henna colours and the stylist put an ordinary colour on your hair the hair would be destroyed so don't forget to mention it in the salon.


What does henna do to your hair?

Henna is a great conditioner for hair, it does dye your hair, so you need to make sure it will be about the colour you`re looking for. You can use henna only or henna mixed with Indigo to achieve the tone you want. Henna alone on light hair can be orangey red on black hair you will get a red "halo" effect. Always test your henna mix on a couple of hairs that you took out of your comb or test it on a small strandd first. Check the web or ask your local henna artist for a henna hair recipe. Depending on your starting colour, you can get almost any tone from a bright red to even black (with Henna and Indigo in a two step process). With natural Henna powder mind you, the stuff you get from beauty suppliers contains little if any Henna at all.

How long to keep henna on your hands?

Henna is the best and the safest natural henna to cover your gray hair. It leaves a reddish-orange tint on the hair strands after drying. However, the results depend on the natural color of your hair. Henna gradually fades out over time. It has near-permanent results on gray hair. When you have applied henna more than once, it takes really long time to fade. You have to wait till the hair grows and the color fades out.

How can you tell black henna from narmal henna?

I suppose you mean in powder form, Henna is never black so you won`t be able to buy it as a powder. People mix Henna with chemicals to get "black henna" which is very harmful and should not be put on skin. Sometimes people sell Indigo for hair and call it black henna but that is nonsense, you cannot use Indigo all by itself to achieve a black colour. You won`t find black henna powder anywhere, so there`s no need to be worried about that.
