Who has not heard about henna? Some still continue her active dye your hair, while others only read about her magical powers and super-resistant dye. But it is good henna, as we talk about it a lot?
Briefly about what is henna
Natural powder (or oil) dye, which is derived from the leaves of Lawsonia Inermis or, as we used to call, Lawson thornless. "Natural" - a magic word for any product, as we know. Marketers like it too. Henna this word does not help to lose its popularity.
Henna quality depends directly on the leaves themselves. The best are the top leaves, they are often used for the mehendi, because they have a greater coloring ability. The leaves, which grow below, collected and pulverized to henna.
Now cons about which few people know (or learn, when will often be painted with henna)
1. Henna is practically not washed off
If you have colored hair with henna, go to the usual paint will be very difficult. It does not matter, it is a painting once or more. When painting henna so strongly penetrates into the hair, which bring it well, very difficult, and for this a wash hair thank you not say for sure. The only sensible solution is to grow my hair and cut off.
2. On henna badly taken staining paints
To be precise, the result can be so sudden that week provided tears.
Because henna penetrates deep into the hair structure, a pigment is sometimes not at all "to grasp." According to the results obtained far from the expectations of color and over-dried hair.
Some artists do not take clients who have not grown hair dyed with henna. For the outcome can be sad and blame clients whom? That's right, master. But not henna, it's natural color that will be on it. But, it turns out, as the crafty this natural dye.
I have a friend who decided to change the hair color at the salon. Prior to this, only painted with henna. colourist services in the salon is not at affordable price. The result - the color never changed one iota. Several thousand nowhere.
3. Unexpected results
At different hair color it may turn out completely different. Here plays the role of and the thickness of the hair, and the original color, and then whether the hair is dyed before. So instead of the beautiful colors of your hair can be, for example, sky blue or the color of new-mown hay. And if abused frequent staining henna - for hay would like not only the color.
4. Henna is poorly clarification
No, maybe lighten up and get you. But not the fact that it is homogeneous and generally wearable color.
You can easily get the green (mostly because it turns out that there is a part of henna and Basma more). But if you're lucky, you will leave in the red or copper color. Plus, the quality of your hair is very much affected by such manipulations.
Classics of the genre on the subject of clarification henna:
1) anonymous, which henna repainted themselves in the light (as was the original color 4-5 shades darker). Their hair you will never see, have their word;
2) those who are out of copper henna tried to disguise a blonde, but have something light light brown with honey glints, and in 2-3 weeks - light red.
5. After paints henna better not to risk
If after dyeing chemical dyes you decide to dye your hair with henna, then the beautiful, desirable and even the result is better not to hope.
If you have blonde hair, did not even look in the direction of henna. The chance to go with green hair will only increase.
6. After the henna hair thicker - dubious claim
About five years ago, the hair dyes stated that henna makes hair thicker, strongly compresses the fiber, because of this, the hair becomes hard and brittle.
Now with the advent of diagnostic equipment in the normal trichologists and experience in hair coloring can make the following statement.
It is a mistake to believe that henna makes hair thicker and denser - a kind of an illusion created by the very fact that it penetrates deep into the hair, loosening it and lifting scales. This violates the protective layer of the hair. And when the scales revealed - our hair quickly loses moisture, which leads to dry hair.
7. Henna dries hair and scalp
And without much loss this move can holders fat head and thick hair. It is so can dry up your hair, that they can hardly comb.
8. Henna allergy
Yes, the chemical dyes may also cause allergies. But natural ingredients often cause allergies than sulfates, silicones, and... What else there is now fashionable to be afraid of?
Keep in mind when painting any dye do an allergy test. Henna is also a concern.
9. Complex and lengthy process of dyeing
After applying the composition henna (the way it should be applied hot, and not far from the burn), The holding time of 30 to 120 minutes, and if you want to dye also basmoj, else plus 15-90 minutes.
Some keep henna 3:00, basmu - 5 hours. Let us add the application and washing of the complex of hair powder, it is also not a matter of a couple of minutes.
The whole day is spent on only one painting, which each time can turn a surprise in the form of colors, which you did not expect. In the process of aging henna dries and crumbles with those areas that are not hidden under the cap. Herbal smell of henna for a long time does not leave the hair.
Like it or not, but it is better to paint the henna in the cabin. At home, easy to paint the mass-market type Estelle.
10. Fade in the sun
Do not be surprised if the seas you arrive with washed-out hair color. Because of this, you will want to paint henna hair more often, and more and more of them to kill it.
11. Henna bad stain gray hair
To begin with, to dye white hair with henna, you will need much more time than is stated on the package. But on the result of uniform color you are unlikely to succeed: gray hair on the rest of the background will be much brighter.
In general we can say the following. Maybe someone and like copper shades on the hair. Someone draws resistance henna. But the disadvantages are the same as that of conventional paints: can also cause allergies, as dry hair and scalp. And in this situation the word "natural" can be advantageous when painting ?!
