Nowadays many people are troubled by the problem of early graying of hair. As a result, they often resort to harsh chemical-based hair dyes, as they are easily available in the market. However, these colors contain ammonia and its byproducts such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine. They may also contain synthetic perfumes, lauryl sulfate, EDTA, and other toxins that can cause allergies and even cancer with prolonged use. The search for safe hair color took people back to the roots and rediscovered henna as a great hair color. However, the orange color and messy application still keeps people away from it.
However, with the changing times, henna has also changed its form and is now available in completely new formulations, which has made it more attractive for the younger generation. Clelia Cecilia Engelen, Founder and CEO of Surya Brasil, shares points to keep in mind while applying henna cream on hair.
1. Pre-mixed henna cream is the perfect solution for those who don’t have time to soak henna for hours and then apply it.
2. Henna cream with Brazilian herbs like copaiba, cumaru, jaborandi, jua, acai, babaku oil, guarana makes it more effective and rich in nutrients. This results in soft, hydrated, well-nourished hair and scalp leaving hair frizz free.
3. Also, for those who do not like orange color, henna cream is now available in different types, resulting in colors like red, copper, brown, chocolate brown, black, etc. Perfect for fashionistas who love to flaunt trendy hair, henna cream can solve all your hair color problems.
4. It comes with an easy-to-use Applicator, which gives a mess-free experience so that you don’t get stains on your hands while applying. The Applicator also ensures that the roots are properly covered, giving you complete coverage.
5. Henna Cream is long lasting and can easily last up to 10 washes without fading. For those of you who need a root touch up, this can be done as often as every week depending on your hair growth. Since henna cream does not contain any harsh toxic ingredients, you can use it without any lag.
6. For those of you who have gone through any chemical processes on your hair, henna cream can be applied immediately as it has no side effects, and will in fact make the hair softer.
7. To increase the life of hair color, use shampoo and conditioner after coloring. Being natural and chemical free, it gives longer life to the hair color, making it last instead of washing off easily.
