Henna cream for natural hair dyeing: There are many products that promise to dye the hair, but most of them are cosmetic in nature. In the past few years, henna cream has gained prominence over most of these products available in the market, owing to the fact that the cream is all natural and long-lasting. It is also considered to be less of a hassle, compared to many other hair care and hair-dye products. Clelia Cecilia Angelon, the founder and CEO of Surya Brasil warns that harsh chemical-based hair dyes that are popular for instant results, can cause various health problems such as brittle hair, itchy scalp, increased hair fall, rapid greying of hair and also breathing issues in the long run. Ammonia and its by-products (ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine) have been linked to severe damage to hair and scalp, eye and nose irritation, and also burning of skin in some cases. Parabens, EDTA, PPD, resorcinol, and synthetic fragrances also impact hair, she states. While buying hair care products, it is important to read the label carefully to eliminate harmful chemicals that can lead to short-term as well as long-term damage to hair.

Benefits Of Using Henna Cream

When it comes to henna cream, there are no side-effects, the expert says. It is pre-mixed henna, which is more practical than even loose henna powder. “Henna powder often gives an orangish tint. Henna cream, pre-mixed with Ayurvedic and Brazilian herbs like jaborandi, babassu oil, acai, cumaru, guarana, etc., is known to give excellent results. The various combinations of these herbs can lead to gorgeous colours such as copper, natural brown, natural black, red, copper and even blonde. It not only nourishes the hair with nutrition, but also delivers results that are loved by people of all ages,” Clelia says.

Henna Cream Application

Henna cream application is easy — it comes with an easy-to-apply applicator that enables penetration of the roots, while nourishing the scalp. It is a mess-free home experience. Once applied, you can wash off with normal temperature water in 90-120 minutes. Shampoo your hair 24 hours after the application. “It is important to use post-colouration, specially formulated shampoos, conditioners and hair serums — they will increase the duration of the stay of hair colour, protecting it from washing away every time you wash your hair,” the expert explains.

The tint from henna cream can last up to 10 washes, but some may need to retouch the roots, depending on the growth of the hair. This varies from person-to-person. Since there are no chemicals involved, one can easily cover the roots as often as required, the hair care expert concludes.
