Gray hair is not just a sign of aging; it’s a badge of wisdom. It tells stories of your adventures, memories that shaped you, and wisdom that guides you. And while silver strands are a beautiful reflection of your journey, sometimes you just want to switch things up with a splash of color. If you’re considering henna, you’re making the right decision.
This step-by-step guide for beginners will walk you through the process of how to use henna hair color like a pro, even if you’re a beginner.
What is Henna Hair Color?
You have watched all the henna hair dye tutorials, but you still can not understand how it is made. So, what exactly is henna hair color? Well, let’s understand it. Henna is a natural, plant-based hair dye derived from the leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant. These leaves are dried, ground into a fine powder, and then mixed with water (or other natural ingredients) to form a paste. When applied, henna coats the hair shaft, leaving a rich, earthy tint behind.
But henna isn’t just for hair, it’s also used for body art, fabric dyeing, and even for its cooling properties in some cultures.
Why is Henna Great for Beginners?
- Easy to apply: Henna-based hair color like Caaru is easy to apply and mess-free.
- Low risk of damage: Compared to chemical-based hair color, henna is safe to color your hair.
- Gradual fading: Henna is not permanent; it fades within weeks, giving you time to play around with different hair colors.
