Henna offers a natural, safe way to cover gray and add body and shine to your hair without risking the adverse effects of harsh chemicals and petroleum or coal tar-based agents. Depending on your natural color, chestnut henna leaf powder will produce a warm to rich brown on light to dark blonde hair and add warm highlights to darker shades. One of the most frequently asked questions we get regarding our henna powder is why does it contain other herb ingredients. Pure henna (100% lawsonia inermis) creates a slightly red color. Small amounts of different herbs are blended with lawsonia to get different henna colors like black, blond, chestnut etc. Henna is a small tree native to tropical areas of Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Asia. When introduced to an acidic liquid, dried and powdered henna leaf yields a stain that has been used as hair dye for more than 5,000 years. Unlike chemical dyes, henna coats the hair shaft with a protein called hennatannic acid. The result is subtle and semi-permanent color that fades in a few weeks.
