Henna coloring powder is obtained from the dried leaves of Lawsonia Inermis, a plant of the Fabaceae family, used for thousands of years for ritual and decorative purposes and for dyeing fabrics. Its Red Coloring power is due to the presence of glycosides which release a yellowish, reddish pigment in the air, and which, if present in different percentages, can give different shades to Henna-based colours. This molecule is Lawsone, and it binds to keratin, the hair protein: henna, therefore, does not penetrate the hair like chemical dyes, but binds to its scales, in this way, not only protects the hair, but volumizes it by increasing the diameter of the stem. The hair is more voluminous, bright and protected from external agents. Henna is also a powerful sebum-normalizing and anti-dandruff agent.

A PLEASURE NEVER FOUND BEFORE!

HAIR: Henna is the only dyeing herb able to stratify and bind to the keratin of the hair, therefore it can be added to other dyeing herbs to create the desired shades, which will depend on the color of the hair on which the paste is applied and on the percentages of the various ingredients of the Herbal mix. In addition to the dyeing properties, Henna prevents dandruff and helps eliminate it, as it has a rebalancing action on the scalp, thanks to the presence of tannins with astringent and dermopurifying properties. It is sebum-normalising, disciplines and makes hair strong and shiny.
