What is natural mehndi?

Natural henna is a completely pure powder which is prepared by drying the green leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis). There is no adulteration of any kind of chemical, preservative or artificial colors in it. It naturally conditions the hair and gives it a beautiful coppery reddish-brown color.

The truth behind herbal henna

Herbal henna packets available in the market claim that it contains natural herbs like Amla, Reetha, Shikakai, Bhringraj and Neem. Certainly these herbs are beneficial for hair, but many commercial brands add paraphenylenediamine PPD (p-phenylenediamine), ammonia and other harmful synthetic dyes to give this henna a deep black or burgundy color. However, due to its herbal name, people consider it to be completely safe, which can be a big deception.

How to identify the main differences between the two?

Pure natural henna takes at least three to four hours to leave color on the hair, whereas chemical based herbal henna gives deep black color to the hair in just 20 to 30 minutes. Natural henna can never turn hair completely dark brown or black. If any herbal mehendi is doing this, then some chemical has definitely been adulterated in it.

side effects

The possibility of allergy with natural henna is absolutely negligible. On the contrary, adulterated herbal henna can cause itching of the scalp, dryness of hair and severe allergic reactions. According to hair experts, 100% pure natural henna is always the best option for hair health.

First of all, while buying the packet, read the ingredients written on it carefully. If it does not say chemical dye or PPD free, do not buy it at all. Apart from this, do a patch test (skin allergy to any particular chemical or material) behind the ear or on a small part of the skin 24 hours before applying henna.

Apart from this, if you want to color your hair black, then apply indigo powder (indigo plant powder) mixed with natural henna, which is a completely safe and natural method.

To protect hair from premature graying and damage, instead of falling prey to misleading herbal advertisements, choose pure natural henna powder.
