Henna is probably the most widely used natural hair dye. It not only helps to dye the hair, but also takes good care of it. Henna makes the hair stronger, thicker and tamer, improves its elasticity, and restores the hair’s natural shine. It also enhances hair volume and reduces hair loss. Besides, henna has an antibacterial and antiseptic effect so it helps to combat dandruff and relieves itchy and flaky scalp.

The effect of henna is complemented and enhanced by other Ayurvedic ingredients. For example, Bhringraj stimulates hair growth and helps to treat some skin conditions due to its antiseptic properties. Amla is very rich in antioxidants, it has a rejuvenating effect and strengthens the hair.

Neem is valued for its ability to repair damaged hair structure and for its pronounced antiseptic effect. Indian pennywort (Gotu kola) also has antiseptic properties. It relieves irritated scalp. Haritaki (black myrobalan) is one of the top 10 Ayurvedic herbs. It eliminates dandruff and makes the hair stronger, thicker and shinier. Bibhitaki (bastard myrobalan) nourishes the hair from roots to ends, makes it softer and smoother.

Barbados nut has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. Shikakai has been used traditionally for hair care in India for centuries. It is a great alternative to shampoos thanks to its mild detergent effect. Shikakai cleanses the hair and scalp without stripping them of natural oils.

Directions. Empty one or more sachets of dye (depending on your hair length) into a non-metallic bowl. Add hot water (70-80°) and mix to form a lump free, uniform mixture. Put on protective gloves and cover the upper part of your body with a cape or towel. Using an applicator brush, apply the dye to hair from the roots upwards to the ends. Make sure that the mixture is spread evenly. Leave the dye on for 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the shade you want to achieve and the structure of your hair. Wash your hair thoroughly until water becomes clear.
