Henna Hair Dye

Henna hair dye is an excellent option for those who want to strengthen their hair and bring a beautiful natural color to their hair. Henna provides a wide range of options for hair color including coppers, auburns, reds, cinnamons, brown and burgundies. All the colors are radiantly rich and provide thick, healthy locks with excellent volume. With all these benefits why not use henna hair dye.

Although before you decide to start using henna hair dye because of these benefits there are some things you need to consider first. If you have recently died or permed your hair or if you want to get a perm in the near future then you should hold off on using henna hair dye. While henna hair dye is good for hair it doesn’t work good with hair that is chemically treated. You should wait at least thirty days from your perm or coloring in order to avoid any type of problems. Also you should keep in mind the henna hair dye will remain in the hair for up to a year at a time.

Consider the Outcome

Always consider the desired outcome before using henna hair dye. Henna hair dye is a very powerful sticking dye that will not lighten your hair. For those with light colored hair, using henna hair dye will make highlights in certain shades more intense. To achieve the exact shades you are looking for you may want to try a few different types of henna and herbal additives.

It is important that each individual decides whether it is worth it for them. Some may try it and find out that henna hair dye isn’t for them and will never return to it again. However, others will absolutely love the use of it and continue to use it for years to come. It all depends on your experience with henna hair dye and whether or not you like the look it gives you.

Applying Henna Hair  Dye

Always approach you hair assuming it is shaped like a globe. Everything should be piled at the north pole so you don’t have to have pins to keep it in place. Always start at the top and take a small partition of hair. Apply the henna hair dye only to the roots and skin that is closest to the partition of the hair.

Wind the hair only in one direction, usually clockwise. As you wrap the hair, apply more henna hair dye to the length of it. Then let the hair sit on the top so that is resembles a small ball. Use this as a guide when wrapping the rest of your hair like you are winding a ball of wool.

Next take a thin partition of hair near the first partition and wind in in the opposite direction, usually anti-clockwise. Do this for the entire hair and always make sure it is wound in the opposite direction and wrapped around the ball. The next partition of your hair should always be closest to the ball. Start at the roots and apply to the remaining length as you are winding the hair.

The hair should stay in place without clips since it is piled at the top and the wrapping directions have been alternated with each partition. Depending on how much coloring you want for you hair it can take a varying length of time. It is best to start doing the coloring in the afternoon. After you have finished you should wrap the head in newspaper. Then wrap with a shower hood to prevent tainting your bed sheets at night.
