Henna Iranian: a safe means for dyeing hair
Henna is a dye of natural origin, which is obtained from the leaves of harpsichord (chicken shrub). The leaves of henna are first collected, then dried and carefully triturated. Fresh henna has a yellow-green color, but over time it acquires a reddish hue. Such a henna can not be used.
If you believe the historical information, then the Iranian henna was used as a medicinal and cosmetic means seven thousand years ago. In this capacity, it is used now. This plant culture contains a large amount of tannins and oils, so its effect on the hair is extremely useful.
Pros of applying henna for dyeing hair
Iranian henna for hair protects strands from the negative effects of the sun and the environment, strengthens the roots and treats hair damaged by improper care or chemical dyes. By the way, henna powder stains the hair for a long time (almost like a paint), but it does not break their structure. In addition, Henna henna contains substances that tighten the scaly outer layer and give the hair a shiny and well-groomed appearance.
Cons of using henna
Practically the only drawback of using henna for dyeing hair is that this vegetable dye dries very much the hair and scalp. Therefore, for painting dry, brittle or damaged hair, henna is not recommended.
Another negative point is stains on clothes and towels, which can not be withdrawn by any means. Work with henna in rubber gloves, and to avoid stains on the face, neck or clothing should use a special cape of polyethylene or rubberized fabric.
Ways of brewing henna
Henna is brewed in two ways - cold and hot. A hot method involves brewing henna in boiled water at room temperature, cold - in acidic water without preheating. You can use dry wine, water with vinegar or with lemon. Pay attention to the norms of consumption of dye:
1. For short hair - 50 g of henna.
2. For hair length to the neck - 100 g.
3. For medium length hair (shoulder shoulders) - 150 g.
4. For long hair - 250 g.
Fineness of the staining procedure
Everything you need to color the hair with henna must be prepared in advance. Before applying henna to the hair, it should be carefully rubbed with a wooden spatula, so that there are no lumps. Hair should be painted with a flat comb, promazyvaya strand behind the strand from all sides.
After finishing the procedure, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed with plenty of water. Then they need to be rinsed with acidified water for shine.
Please note: Iranian colorless henna for hair is used for staining. White henna or henna "color" to Iranian has nothing to do.
