HOW
TO - USE HENNA AT HOME
- Mix the
powder to a paste by gradually adding boiling water.
- Leave to
cool to a pleasant temperature then apply to freshly shampooed,
towel-dried hair. Massage well in remembering to wear rubber
gloves. If the ends of your hair are dry, they will be porous
and soak up the colour faster so do not comb through until towards
the end of processing time.
- Cover your
hair with a plastic cap and leave for up to 45 minutes, checking
the colour every 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly lifting hair away
from scalp to make sure all residue is washed away.
HENNA TIPS
- Do test
Henna on a few strands of hair and check the timing results
before applying to whole head.
- Do not
use Henna if your hair has been coloured or permed within the
last month.
- Always
rinse chlorinated water from Henna hair immediately after swimming.
- It is best
to use the same brand of Henna for subsequent applications.
- Remember
that traces of Henna will stay in hair until it grows our so
if you want any chemical process done you must tell your stylist
about the Henna.
WHAT IS
HENNA?
Henna comes
from the dried leaves of the Egyptian private Lawsonia alba. It
has conditioning and colour properties and has been used in Europe
since around 1890. Henna is a coating dye which means it stains
the cuticle layer of the hair. Colour fades gradually so subsequent
applications are needed every six to eight weeks to intensify
tone and condition. Hair cannot be lightened with Henna and is
not usually suitable for hair with more than twenty per cent grey,
or hair that is bleached or highlighted.

TOP
TIP
Update
a straight, sleek cut by wearing your parting off
centre with the hair ends flicked out. Blow dry
smooth with a large round brush concentrating on
the ends, spray with hairspray then blast with hairdryer
whilst hair is wrapped around brush.
Achieve
Victoria Beckham's famous spiky crop, which works
on any hair - fine to thick - and gives extra height
to a short style. Simply back comb hair at the crown
and separate with a little wax, comb the fringe
and back area flat with wax through the front for
a wispy fringe; finish the style with hairspray
to hold it firmly in place.
