The Herbal Enhancement of Colour
Best herbs to add in your Henna
By Nat Habit
Henna in itself is great for your hair! But what if we tell you that it can be more incredible with the incorporation of certain natural herbs?
Sounds pretty good right? So let’s dive right into it:
Manjistha
Among the array of herbal wonders, Manjistha, also known as the Indian Madder, stands out for its extraordinary colour-enhancing properties. The active compound of Manjistha renders a rich red colour, which when bound with henna, enhances darkness of stain left behind.
Amla
Moving on to Amla, another ace in the herbal deck of cards, plays a significant role in enriching the henna’s binding quality. Antioxidants reduce surface tension by fighting radicals, hence allowing longer and deeper staining. The Vitamin C present in Amla supports collagen synthesis, which is essential for healthy hair. Healthy hair is more prone to henna binding because healthy hair can take in the henna more efficiently, thus leading to a better and enhanced colour stain.
Black Tea and Coffee
Black tea and Coffee are our allies in the battle against damaged hair. Packed with caffeine, antioxidants and the natural dyeing effect, they enhance the staining properties altogether.
Rosemary
Rosemary takes the spotlight for enhancing henna stain. It gives henna a darker shade, and aids in the longevity of the stain. It also protects the hair’s natural melanin, preventing your hair from turning grey before time.
In conclusion, adding the richness of all these ingredients to your henna, has the transformative power of nature which helps to unfold vibrant, healthy, and naturally beautiful hair. But instead of taking the long route, why not just try Nat Habit’s Ready to Apply Henna Paste, which is made with the goodness of all of these ingredients and is super easy to use.
