Hair Colour
We
try our best to supply our customers with 100% natural plant hair colours that
are free from additives, chemicals, preservatives, metallic salts or metals.
The
shade of Henna is reflected through the hair while enhancing your hair’s
natural color. The cuticle is smoothed by Henna’s sealing action, giving hair a
polished look by making the light reflect off providing shine. Regular use of
Henna can texturize the hair, giving it extra body–this becomes more evident
with each application. Henna color will last approximately 4 to 6 weeks but is
safe to use more frequently.
Henna is
the only natural alternative to chemical hair colorings that are controversial
to health considerations and harsh on the hair. Rainbow Henna is 100% natural
plant material- no additives, chemicals, preservatives, metallic salts or
metals. Worldwide use of Henna has been practiced and documented for over 9000
years.
Red Henna
comes from small shrubs, called Lawsonia, that are native to the Middle East,
West Asia, and North Africa. The leaves are dried and then pulverized into a
fine powder. We also use the plants: Indigoferra, Cassia Obovata, Marigold
& Chamomile Flowers to make the different shades. We choose only the finest
botanicals from around the world to be used in our Hair Color.
