Henna Powder (deep red color)

Henna — Ancient Botanical for Radiant, Natural Hair Color

Henna, the powdered leaf of a flowering plant native to hot climates, has been used since antiquity to naturally dye hair, skin, nails, leather, and textiles. From ancient Egypt—where mummies have been found with henna-tinted hair and fingernails—to modern herbal beauty traditions, henna remains beloved for its vibrant, plant-based pigments and nourishing properties.

🌿 The Personality of Henna: What It Loves
Henna isn’t just a product—it’s a process, and a practice. To get the best results, it helps to treat henna with a little intention and care:

• Henna loves an acidic environment to release its deep orange-red dye (lemon juice is a favorite).
• Henna loves warmth and humidity—both while developing dye and while coloring your hair.
• Henna loves time—don’t rush her. Let the paste sit several hours before applying, and give it time on your hair to work its magic.
• Henna loves a long rinse to gently release from the scalp and strands.
• Henna loves to stain—skin, towels, countertops, clothing. Wear gloves and protect your space.

✨ Benefits & Traditional Uses

• Color + Condition: Henna imparts rich, natural tones while conditioning the hair
• Healthy Hair Growth: Boil henna leaves in mustard oil and massage into the scalp to support growth and shine
• Natural Tattoos: When applied to skin, henna creates temporary designs that last up to four weeks
• Fabric Dyeing: Henna is permanent on fabric, leather, and wood

🌸 DIY Henna Hair Paste
Mix dry henna powder with lemon juice and water until it reaches a yogurt-like consistency. Let the paste rest 4–8 hours to develop. Apply generously to clean, dry hair, cover with a shower cap, and rinse after about 1 hour for glossy, rich color.
