I would love to make my hair black... But it is not safe, is it?
How can I make natural henna for hair as dark as possible?
Thank you,
Megam
: Hana,
: That depends: Do you use a commercial henna rinse? Or a paste or
: solution that you mix up using actual henna leaves? If you use a
: commercial henna rinse, probably not. I'm told that all that they
: are a hair coloring which contains some natural henna extracts, but
: they only serve as moisturizers. The color is produced by a
: synthetic dye.
: If you use an actual paste or solution made from scratch from leaves
: of the henna (lawsonia inermis), then you're on the right path. The
: general recipe for skin-dyeing henna is henna, lemon juice, and if
: you want, some cloves.
: If you could specify what exactly you use, we could tell you more
: definately.

: P.S.--I agree. . . this page is a WONDERFUL site for information
