Henna Kit Biography

source{google.com.pk}
Henna dye comes from the crushed leaves of the henna plant and its botanical name is lawsonia inermis. Indigo dye comes from the crushed leaves of the indigo plant and its botanical name is indigofera tinctoria. For centuries, these two plants have been used to colour hair and to heal the body. The incredible thing is that those who have previously used henna - like myself - were just never aware of the fact that henna is meant to be used with indigo ! They go together like birds of a feather and the fact is they were always meant to flock together. That is, if you don’t want red orange or auburn tones in your hair. If you’re aiming for red hair tones anyway, then straight henna is for you. But if, like me, you were always aiming for more muted natural brown to black hair, then you always needed indigo to go with henna, but you just never knew it ! And the sad thing is that some people have used indigo in the past with henna, but not correctly. My past is full of henna disappointments, but the key was always to use it with indigo. And there is a method of application - set out in the Renaissance Henna Hair Colour Kit booklet - which will give you the results you wanted but could never previously achieve. The instructions are detailed and may require a comfortable armchair read before you get started. But think of it as a learning experience, and I think you’ll only gain. The difference between henna and indigo and chemical hair dyes is that, firstly, herbal hair colours are natural and have never been known to kill or to damage health - they are well known for their benefits. And, secondly, henna and indigo leave well alone inside your hair and do not disturb the natural chemical make up of the hair that you were born with. The henna colour coats each individual hair shaft without infiltrating it and is self sealing. It locks itself onto your hair and makes it feel immediately thicker, fuller, and altogether more alive. The exception seems to be grey hair - henna will penetrate the inner hair shaft of grey hair and dye it red orange, but using indigo immediately afterwards will turn it a deep brown to black, depending how long you leave the indigo in for. Chemical hair colours, on the other hand, work by first causing swelling to the hair shafts and actually opening them up - that’s what makes your hair feel fuller when you’ve used a chemical hair dye. They open up and permeate each hair shaft, flood the cortex of each hair with some degree of hydrogen peroxide to “strip” the natural colour, and then invade big time with military precision by infiltrating and depositing toxic chemicals into your hair strands. The underlying aim - with your full consent - is to remain there as long as possible. You might feel good after a chemical hair dye but, if you’re dying your hair in this way, I believe you’re killing yourself softly. Those toxic chemicals enter the bloodstream and the nervous system through inhalation - and possibly through the scalp as well - and do all sorts of damage. They don't all contain PPD. It's generally the dark hair dye colours that contain the dangerous PPD chemical. But my opinion is that all typical over the counter chemical hair dyes work to damage your health, regardless of whether they contain PPD or not. They are synthetic chemical hair dyes and there's a difference between man made synthetic chemicals and earth grown plants which contain naturally occurring chemicals. On darker hair shades like black and brown, you’ll just be able to decipher a somewhat deeper hair tone which enhances your own natural hair colour and shimmers in the light. The natural henna hair dye gives colour which is natural to you, and therefore the end result will always be unique to you. On lighter hair colours like blonde and ash hair colour, the results will be more dramatic, but still beautifully natural, and with just henna hair dye, used alone, you’ll get deep auburn hair colour! The key notes will be burnt red / red orange. But if you don’t want red hair colour, then you can tone it down to a brown or black hair colour with indigo. Even if you’ve previously used hair dyes, you’ll still get beautifully blended hair colour which is totally unique to you. You’ll need to explore the Hair Colour Gallery to grasp what I mean. Henna and indigo hair colour are positively unpredictable. And by that, I mean they’re unpredictable in an entirely positive way. You won’t be disappointed ! Whether it’s funky hair colour or natural hair colour you’re after, you will get translucent colour that shimmers in the sun and reflects light. Cassia obovata is commonly confused with henna and mistakenly known as "colourless henna" or “neutral henna” though in fact it comes from an altogether different plant. When the leaves are crushed, it looks similar to henna leaf powder but is lighter in colour. It promotes healthy, soft and shining hair, and is also reputed to help clear dandruff. Cassia obovata is for deep hair conditioning and, on blonde hair, it will naturally highlight the blonde without changing hair colour (on darker hair colours it will not impart any noticeable colour). Cassia obovata can be combined with rhubarb root for an even deeper hair conditioning treatment and to further enhance golden blonde tones. And it can be combined with just a touch of pure henna for strawberry blonde, and with acacia catechu for dark blonde. They coat the hair with herbal colour and with protection. They colour grey hair. Henna and indigo hair colour will protect your hair from the harsh effects of sunlight, cold, and heat - naturally. Even regular blow drying will not damage hennaed hair as much as blow drying chemically treated hair ( in fact it’s arguable that regular blow drying on a moderate heat will not damage hennaed hair at all). I believe that regular use of henna and indigo hair colour also boosts the immune system and results in the deposit of a wealth of goodness into your blood which contributes towards good health (but I may be wrong in my belief). Correctly used, they build up hair colour which the chemical hair colour industry can never match - these colours stand out, naturally, in their own right! And they last ! They may not be entirely nice and easy hair colour, but they have a clean heart and they’ll always treat you with love and respect. I think you’re likely to find that just about all hairdressers are “anti-henna”. Not that I blame them ! Their concern is how to colour hair safely. You’ve got to remember that if your hairdresser is anti-henna, this is because the hennas which your hair dresser has come across in the past are “compound henna” - i.e. henna powders mixed with dyes and metallic salts such as lead acetate which act as fixatives to “fix” the so called henna shade which the manufacturer is marketing. Remember that pure henna does not come in “shades” - it’s always going to be red orange/auburn. Any henna hair colour which contains anything other than just 100% pure lawsonia inermis is likely to be a compound henna mix, unless it’s only other ingredient is 100% pure indigofera tinctoria. A compound henna mix is not a chemical free hair dye. Do get used to reading through the ingredients [ on henna powder packs and on all products ]. It’s the metallic salt fixatives in the compound hennas that get onto your hair and react badly with perms and chemicals in hair dyes and bleach solutions. Any hair dresser who knows what real henna is and what real indigo is will not put you off using it; having your best interests at heart they will only encourage you to fly, fly, fly towards henna / indigo. But the fact is that it’s highly unlikely that your hairdresser has actually come across pure henna and pure indigo before, so expect them to be dubious, suspicious, and off putting. And excuse them for it. They’re thinking compound henna metallic salt mixes. They’re thinking how to colour hair safely. They want to save you from sheer catastrophe.Then refer them to the Renaissance Henna Hair Colour website so they can learn and
understand what pure henna is and so they can start to overcome their fears and discover a world that’s pure and beautiful and that won’t cause harm at all. Here's an e bay discussion on hair dyes that I somewhat inappropriately barged into; I hope they've forgiven me by now. It does illustrate, to an extent, how misinformed hairdressers, generally, are It’s very important to know the difference between a compound henna and pure henna because the two are totally different. Metallic salt chemical cocktail henna has given pure henna and indigo a bad name. And it’s totally undeserved, born out of ignorance and misunderstanding (like so many other prejudices which we harbour in our hearts). Pure henna will never result in fried hair or colour catastrophe.
