Henna Range

It’s time to get that lustrous shine with the best henna mehndi for hair

Tried several hair treatments and still not getting that glossy and strong hair? Even after using toxin-free shampoos and hair oil, you might miss the quality you’d like to achieve. Besides castor, onion, almond, and all other natural hair treatments, one of the most valued ingredients hidden in plain sight is henna for hair or mehndi. 

There has been a recent increase in the number of people trying to add color to their hair. People all over the world use henna for hair nourishment. However, despite being a rage nowadays, hair coloring isn't a recent phenomenon and dates back to several thousand years. Before the invention of artificial hair colors, people worldwide used naturally-derived henna mehndi or Indigo to dye their hair.

Apart from being a great ingredient to strengthen, condition, and nourish the tresses, henna is also used to dye the hair naturally. In ancient times, the leaves of this plant were used for hair care traditionally, but one can use henna powder nowadays to reap the same benefits. 

Using henna powder to make hair healthier and shinier

Extracted from the evergreen and flowering henna tree (or Lawsonia inermis), this eponymous ancient herb is rich in therapeutic properties. People associate its origin with India due to its significance in the tradition of Indian weddings, but it was used in Egypt for beauty purposes by pharaohs and the famed Egyptian queen, Cleopatra too. 

Hair care experts advise using henna for hair care for this plant’s antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It has thus been widely used in traditional, Ayurvedic, and Unani medicine. It contains phyto components such as naphthoquinone derivatives, phenolic compounds, terpenoids, sterols, essential oils, flavonoids, and amino acids that help nourish the hair roots and slow down premature graying. Backed by naturally coloring agents, it caters to various cosmetic needs such as hair dyeing or body art. 

It is best to use henna leaves or products that feature natural henna paste. Using toxin-free hair care products like Mamaearth Henna Oil for Hair Color, Natural Henna Paste, and Henna Shampoo (a sulphate free shampoo) will help you prevent various signs of aging and provide your hair with a rich natural color. 

Types of henna leaves

We advise opting for only the safe, gentle, and toxin-free hair care products. You should carefully read the ingredients and labels on a hair care product to ascertain its safety and efficacy before you buy it. This also goes for henna powder for hair and similar products made using this coloring plant’s leaves.

1. Natural henna: Derived from the henna leaves, an Ayurvedic herb leaves an auburn or orange color on the shafts when used on hair. It is known to heal various scalp conditions, stimulate new hair growth, and impart rich color to the hair.
2. Neutral henna: Extracted from a different plant known as Cassia Obovata Coll, it is used as a laxative. While it may not be a proper dyeing agent as it imparts slight color change, it does contain mild antibacterial properties. Also, it can be used as a perfect conditioner and a sun protectant. 
3. Black henna for hair: This is the impure form of henna as it contains multiple chemical dyes that are added to it, creating a darker and long-lasting shade. The chemical dyes are harmful and can cause dermatitis. When a henna hair dye is applied to hair, it gives a temporary orange-brown color to your hair or skin. 

Knowing the benefits of henna for hair 

This green-colored plant offers a reddish-brown tinge to the hair when applied as a paste, a form called mehndi. This paste offers multiple hair care benefits because it nourishes and imparts a natural shine, besides strengthening the strands from root to tip.

So, let's have a look at the benefits of henna for hair:

1. Maintains scalp health:  Loaded with several cooling, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties, the toxin-free henna paste can easily help you get relief from itchiness and inflammation on the scalp and skin caused by dandruff. Apart from the leaves, extracts from the bark and roots of the plant offer anti-inflammatory properties. Massaging your hair with Mamaearth’s Henna Hair Oil and washing it with a mild shampoo will ensure good scalp health. 

2. Promotes hair growth: Henna benefits the scalp by assisting with hair re-growth in affected areas. Backed by various plant compounds such as naphthoquinone, flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids, the best henna for hair also prevents hair fall. 
3. Strengthens and repairs hair: Using henna for hair nurtures and strengthens the hair. In addition, it protects the hair against harmful environmental stressors by forming a protective layer. This layer seals the hair cuticle that prevents frizz, split ends & hair breakage, preventing the hair shaft from photodamage. It makes your hair smooth and shiny. Do not forget to seal the moisture into the hair with the natural hair growth serum. Regularly using henna mehndi for hair helps control various signs of premature aging.   

4. Curbs oil production and balances pH levels: Henna is quite effective in maintaining the good health of the scalp as it is loaded with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits. It helps balance the skin's pH levels and controls your scalp's oil production.
   
   It helps unclog hair follicles by removing excess oil, grime, and dirt from your hair, restoring the normal functioning of sebaceous glands. It keeps the scalp odor-free, fresh, and clean.
5. Combats premature greying: Prolonged exposure to harmful environmental stressors and living a sedentary lifestyle causes excess melanin production, leading to oxidative stress. Using a toxin-free henna powder for hair helps reduce oxidative stress and prevent premature hair greying.
6. Promotes wound healing: A natural Henna leaf paste helps treat scalp wounds caused due to cysts or excisions. It reduces inflammation and increases wound contraction rate. Also, it promotes collagen production in the body, promoting new hair growth in the affected area. 

Benefits of Henna Oil for Hair Growth and Thickness

In India, dark color is to hair what blackness is to an eye kajal. So, henna leaves or powder helps you get closer to darker and stronger hair. It is an excellent ingredient for boosting hair growth and strength. You can use it as an individual ingredient or in combination with other natural ingredients to reap the benefits of this dark-green-colored powder.

• Soak the natural henna powder in an iron container with Tea, Water, or Coffee overnight. Add a sprinkle of lemon juice, yogurt, or egg for additional conditioning.
• Wash your hair with a toxin-free shampoo for dry hair a day before you plan to apply henna mehndi if you have dry hair. Pamper your hair with a natural conditioner for dry hair for intense moisturization.

• Once done, cover your scalp with a shower cap and leave the mixture applied for at least 2-3 hours.
