Do you remember watching those historical and mythological TV shows? One distinct thing about the queens and goddesses in them is their glossy hair. Back then, plant-based dyes like Henna were the only options for dyeing hair, and for good reason. Natural hair dyeing is the least invasive method of hair dyeing compared to synthetic dyes.  

Read on to learn dyeing techniques, tips, and aftercare tricks for henna.

Henna Hair Dye Application Tips

Let this blog guide you through some expert-approved application tips:

• If you want a smooth consistency in your Henna, simply add some yogurt to the blend to get the desired paste.
• A smart pre-application tip is to moisturize your hair with coconut or almond oil. This will prevent Henna from dripping during the procedure.
• Apply Henna to damp hair. It helps the henna paste spread evenly throughout the strands.

DIY Henna Hair Dyeing

Give it a try yourself. It won’t take that long. In a matter of a few steps, you will efficiently enhance your hair’s look.

• How much product? The amount of henna powder you need to use depends on your hair length. Let the mix sit for 2 to 3 hours, depending on how emphasized you want the results to be.
• How to choose the ideal tone? Remember, the shade you pick must complement your natural hair colour and skin tone. A cool trick to check this is knowing that cool-toned people look best in dark undertones, whereas warm-toned ones ace honey and auburn palettes.
• What are your thoughts on applying Henna to dyed hair? If your hair is chemically dyed, consider taking a strand/patch test beforehand. Also, postpone any future procedures until after you apply the henna.

Henna Hair Dye Maintenance and Aftercare

• Wait for at least 2-3 hours before you wash your hair. 
• Allow the water to break the Henna, do not pull, break or scrub your hair. Once the water breaks the Henna, wash it thoroughly to remove any particles.
• Use mild and natural shampoos on your next wash to allow the colour to shine.
• You can touch up with colour every 4-6 weeks in case it starts to fade.
• Limit sun exposure.
