How henna is beneficial for hair
We all know the importance of a woman’s hair to her regardless of her age or lifestyle. It is one of the first things you notice in a woman(or should I say anybody) and can be positively termed as the most vital ingredient in your beauty receipe. Be it straight, curly, wavy, long, mid-length or short, we all want our tresses to be healthy, voluminous and glossy. It’s rightly said that healthy mane is like a shining crown. But, in today’s day and age, where there’s so much to take care of… work, dead-lines, social participation and other n number of things, it becomes a tad difficult to spare time for hair-care. Add to it the raging levels of stress, pollution, unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits (afterall most of us love junk), and as a result we face a tough time maintaining the lustrous locks.
Most of the times, just following the ‘shampoo and condition’ routine does not render much help and treating your hair to other chemicals can only cause more damage. That’s when home-made remedies come in handy.
Henna is one of the most beneficial herbs and can do wonders for your hair. It has cooling properties and when applied to the scalp can soothe and cleanse it. Here are some more benefits of henna.
-Henna is an excellent conditioner for your hair. It not only adds shine and volume to it, but also shields it from further damage by forming a coating on it.
-Henna helps restore the natural acid-alkaline balance on your scalp and cleanses it of dirt without altering the natural balance unlike chemical-based products.
-It promotes hair growth, reduces hair fall, dandruff and other scalp problems. You can even use it for colouring your hair as it does not have any side effects and gives a deep colour with a reddish tinge.
-Henna also prevents your hair from greying and thinning making them healthy and lustrous.
Apart from various hair benefits, henna also helps cure acne, boils and warts. If you have a burn injury, mix some henna powder with water and apply it on the affected areas for instant relief. It not only heals the wound, it also prevents infection and bacterial growth.
Henna hair packs
If you have dandruff
Take some fenugreek seeds (methi – about one tsp) and soak them overnight in water. Now grind them. Take some mustard oil and heat it with a few leaves of henna in it. After cooling the oil, strain it to get rid of coarse particles. Now add the groundmethi paste in the oil and apply it on your scalp. Leave it for a good 30 minutes before washing your hair. Use weekly once for good results.
If you suffer from hair fall
Use mustard oil mixed with henna leaves but add one tsp of lemon juice or fresh yoghurt to it instead of methi.Massage this oil on your scalp. Leave it for 30 minutes and then wash your hair.
If you want to condition your hair
Soak henna powder overnight in freshly brewed black or green tea. Add a hint of essential oil or a beaten egg before you apply the mixture to your hair. Keep it for an hour before you wash it off. This will add volume to your locks, improve the texture and add shine to them.
General Tips:
-You can use henna even after hair is damaged with chemical cremes, but you need to wait 45 to 60 days to apply henna because it won’t stick or give a better result on colored hair.
-Henna prevents you from brittle hair, split ends, and hair fall.
-Avoid henna usage if you have severe scalp infections and extra dry hair.
-If you think henna doesn’t suit your hair, then its better to maintain a healthy diet for better hair.
