Natural henna is a sheathing treatment that strengthens the hair, adds volume, promotes shine and cleanses the scalp, particularly in the case of dandruff. It strengthens all hair types and gives new life to fine, dull and tired hair.

Covering white hair, it intensifies the natural colour of the hair, bringing auburn to copper highlights. Used as a quick mask (15 to 20 minutes), it will not colour the hair very much, however, we do not recommend it for light, blond or white hair (unless you wish to colour it but the result will be carrot orange).

It is used as a mask in a homogeneous paste, alone or mixed with other plant powders for a complete treatment adapted to your hair type.

Prepare your natural henna

Place the henna pure or mixed with other plant powders in a large bowl, then gradually pour warm water over your mixture until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous paste. Use a wooden spatula to mix or a “Maryse” spatula.

Quantities to use

• Short hair: +/- 25g of powder
• Mid-length hair (shoulders): +/- 50g of powder
• Long hair (half back): +/- 75g of powder
• Very long hair (hips): +/- 100g of powder

Application of the henna

The application will be different if you want to make a hair mask (care) or a vegetable colour.

For a treatment mask:

Apply your treatment strand by strand to dry, unwashed hair, leave on for about twenty minutes, rinse with your usual shampoo.

For pre-colouring or colouring (with other colouring powders):

Apply henna strand by strand to unwashed hair. Wrap the hair in cling film and leave on for 1 to 6 hours. The longer you leave it on, the more intense the colour will be.

Rinse the hair thoroughly until the mask is completely removed, rinsing only with water, without shampooing.

Wait at least 48-72 hours before shampooing for the colour to develop.

The final colour result will only be visible two to three days after application, while the colour oxidises.

Beauty tip

If your hair is very dry, dull, dehydrated or damaged, add a tablespoon of argan, olive or coconut oil to your mixture.

• Do not use on permed or chemically coloured hair. 
• Quickly clean areas of skin that may be coloured by henna (upper forehead, around the ears). 
• Wear gloves when preparing and applying the mixture to avoid staining your hands. 
• Do not use aluminium utensils to mix the henna, prefer a “Maryse” or wooden spatula. 
• Do not permanent or chemically colour after a natural henna colour that is less than 2 months old. 
• Do not use on eyelashes and eyebrows. 
• Protect clothing and wear gloves to avoid staining. 
• External use. 

Before applying a full henna, always test your treatment on a small strand of hair or on your own hair collected on a brush. Wait 24 hours for the result.
