There are many products available in the market that can focus on one problem, even though others may get ignored. Henna is that natural solution that can provide solution to all these problems, irrespective of the hair type. Henna hydrates, nourishes and replenishes the hair, making them stronger and shinier. Clelia Cecilia Angelon, Founder & CEO of Surya Brasil sharing her thoughts on the Hair care routine for your hair type.
Vegan Henna is the solution
Prefer vegan, organic, and natural henna with components such as Chamomile, Jua, Malva, Jaborandi, Babaçu Oil, Copaba, Guaraná, Cumaru, Aça, Olive, and Coconut Powder Oil, all of which can be found in Brazilian rainforests. These elements ensure that your henna produces stunning colours such as copper, red, burgundy, brown, chocolate brown, black and also blonde.
No Harsh chemical laden hair dyes
However, keep in mind that harsh chemical-laden hair colours containing ammonia and its by-products such as Ethanolamine, Dietanolamine, and Triethanolamine might cause cancer in some situations. Henna has emerged as the favoured option for those seeking natural alternatives to chemically laden hair colours. Ingredients such as DEA, TEA, resorcinol, PPD, sulphates, hydrogen peroxide, often used in hair dyes are very harmful in the long run. Read the label carefully to ensure that the henna you are using is natural and organic.
Alternative to messy henna experience
Henna cream is now available in the market for individuals who find henna cumbersome. It comes with an easy-to-use applicator, offering a mess-free experience. In about two hours, wash off the henna. You will have gorgeous hair colour that is free of harsh chemicals, as well as nourished and conditioned hair. Few people realise that henna is a natural conditioner that makes your hair smoother, shinier, and silkier. It also nourishes the scalp, making your hair roots stronger and resulting in reduced hairfall in the long run. The advantages of switching from chemical-based hair dye to natural henna are immense.
Aftercare
It is important to remember that coloured hair requires special care. So, after applying henna, use gentle post coloration shampoos, conditioner and serum to prevent the hair colour from washing out with each use. Make sure the shampoo you choose is not sulphate-based, as this damages the hair colour and shortens its life with each wash. Sulphates can produce an imbalance in the endocrine glands, which can lead to thyroid problems in some people. Also, ensure that the post-coloration shampoo is free of parabens, which can cause cancer. Using Color Fixation mask can also provide immense nourishment to the hair while treating and protecting it from external damages and pollutants.
Thus, simply switching to henna can take care of many of your hair woes and will enable you to give strength to your hair. Flaunt that gorgeous and healthy mane, as you color your hair with henna.
