Colorless henna is actively used by both hairdressers and cosmetologists. This unique natural gift has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and hair, improves their appearance and allows you to get rid of a number of cosmetic problems.
Meet: henna
Colorless henna is a dry, fine green powder with a characteristic grassy aroma. In fact, coloring henna and its colorless analogue are the closest relatives. Only the first is made from the leaves of lavsonia, which have coloring pigments, and the second is made from the stems of the same plant, but it does not contain pigments. Thus, it is clear that henna is colorless, as it is now fashionable to say, eco-cosmetics, that is, it has a natural origin and does not harm either a person or the environment. But it’s worth a miracle means mere pennies.
Henna for hair
If you ask your hairdresser in the salon about henna, it is possible that you will be eagerly dissuaded from using it. In fact, the masters of scissors and combs do not like her. Firstly, if you can get a good hair healing effect at home, then why come to a salon? Secondly, you can paint and curl after applying this product no earlier than after 2, and preferably 3 weeks, otherwise the effect may not be what was expected at the beginning. The fact is that one of the unique properties possessed by colorless henna is biolamination of hair. Each hair is enveloped with a special invisible film, all the loosened flakes are smoothed out, fall into place. Hair after colorless henna looks more well-groomed, lively, shiny, easy to style. For oily hair, this remedy is doubly useful, because green gruel removes excess sebum, normalizes the work of the glands, and fights against dandruff.
Blondes and brunettes
You can use colorless henna for women with any hair color, but blondes need to conduct a clarification test. The fact is that in some people hair bleaching after henna can lead to a beautiful, but rather bold emerald color. Therefore, it is worth testing the mask on one small strand, and after the next clarification, decide whether this procedure suits you or not. But the statement that colorless henna dyes hair is fundamentally wrong, it simply does not have coloring substances.
Preparing a mask of colorless henna is very simple. It is necessary to pour the powder with boiling water to a state of sour cream and allow to cool. The use of metal utensils is prohibited. Instead of water, you can take serum or decoctions of herbs. This will be the base case. Having shown imagination, you can safely add something from yourself, for example, oil vitamins, yolk, cognac, lemon juice, essential oils. The mask is applied to the hair, evenly distributed over the entire length. For the best result, you can create a greenhouse effect: wrap your head in cellophane and wrap it with a towel. Under the influence of heat, the skin perceives better beneficial ingredients. For those who have a tendency to dry hair, it is advisable to add sour cream or olive oil to the mixture, and apply the composition only to the scalp. So the roots will receive all the nutrients, and the hair will not dry out. The regularity of the masks is determined individually, but too often to use them is not worth it, the best option is 1-2 times a month, and the result will exceed the wildest expectations.
