But nothing can be far from the truth.

Chemical-based hair products or hair dyes are the biggest culprit that tend to make the hair dry and brittle because of excess chemicals that may be harmful in the long run. Low-quality henna is also to be blamed for the bad name that henna has earned. Fact is, if you use good quality natural, vegan henna, mixed with Brazilian herbs, your hair will turn gorgeous because of the replenishment of nutrients and hydration power of henna.

Henna, rich in nutrients and a great hair mask is also used for covering gray hair. However, the modern generation does not have the time to soak henna powder and apply it. Henna cream or pre-soaked henna is now available in the market. It comes with an easy-to-apply applicator for a mess-free experience. When mixed with herbs such as amla and Brazilian extracts like malva, Guarana, Cumaru, Jua, Jaborandi, Babacu oil, Copaiba, Acai, Olive and coconut oil, the results of henna cream can be exceptional.
