Herbal Henna

Ashpveda Herbal Henna Powder is the essence of authentic henna leaves from the land of Rajasthan. Henna has been a traditional way of coloring hair, skin, and nails since time immemorial. Henna borrows its coloring property from Lawsone, also known as hennotannic acid, which is a red-orange natural dyeing agent. Lawsone tends to bond protein which further results in the coloring of skin and hair. Generally natural henna produces shades of orange, auburn, chestnut brown, and burgundy colors. Besides a natural colorant, henna is a superb hair conditioner that nourishes hair and makes them lustrous and soft. Henna also repairs cuticles and actively heals the hair shaft and helps in preventing hair fall, dandruff, and premature greying by balancing the pH of the scalp. What's more, henna is known to reduce the harmful effects of pollution on hair and also strengthens hair to fight the bad effects of blow-drying and artificial drying. Henna also carries anti-fungal and preservative properties. Directions for use: Hair Conditioning: Mix henna with curd or water and make a consistent paste and apply it to your head evenly, wearing hand gloves, wait for one hour and wash your hair. To remove the mixture completely you might have to repeat the process. To get a better shine, you can oil your hair. Hair Dying: Mix henna powder with lemon juice, coffee, and water to make a paste and leave it overnight for drying. In case you want vibrant reddish-brown color then don't use any iron utensils for making a paste. Apply it evenly over your head wearing hand gloves, wash the mixture thoroughly.
