Things To Know Before Using Henna Hair Dye

When you reflect on the popularity of black as a hair colour long enough, you realize that its beauty is certainly unparalleled. There is no doubt that many people in India have an undying obsession with the idea of colouring their hair black with hair dye derived from organic Henna, as they prefer natural, chemical-free products. Moreover, it’s a quite popular, old traditional hair colour choice in many parts of India.

Hair colouring is always a great way to jazz up your personality a little and give your hair a new, fresh style that goes with your vibe. There are many beautiful hair colours and shades that people who love colouring their hair from time to time can go for. But, needless to say, black Henna hair dye was and still is, undoubtedly, the most preferred colour. It's timeless. It's universally perceived as the epitome of class combined with beauty. And, interestingly, many people who suffer from premature hair greying, or hair greying, in general, also colour their hair black with Henna from time to time.

But what exactly is Henna? Or, Henna Hair Dye? 

Henna hair dye, basically, stems from the Henna tree also called Lawsonia Inermis or the Mignonette tree. It’s purely organic, which is why it has been used by people in India for ages. Usually, hair dye products made by haircare brands also consist of other Ayurvedic herbs or ingredients. For instance, our exclusive Vasmol Henna Hair Dye is enriched with four eminent Ayurvedic herbs, namely Tulsi, Amla, Hibiscus, and Bhringaraj.

However, what’s equally important to know is that colouring your hair with Henna can be a tricky process, so there are certain things that one should be aware of before they begin using Henna Hair Dye, in order to achieve the desired results. If you’re also one of those who want to colour their hair with a black henna hair dye but are not aware of the details involved in the dyeing process, this will be helpful for you. These are the things you should keep in mind before you begin the process of applying it to your hair: 

It requires exclusive preparation

Even though the product will have directions written on the pouch for you, you should still know that it would require exclusive preparation, for e.g. you will need a jug or two of distilled water and a ceramic or glass utensil. Make sure the utensil you use is not made of metal.

1. It can be a messy process

Applying organic black henna hair dye can be a messy process. Make sure you coat body parts that might be exposed to the dye, like your forehead and back neck, with coconut oil and cover other surfaces with a cloth piece, so the dye doesn’t colour your skin or affect the exposed surfaces.

2. The Henna solution should be consistent

Make sure that you mix the ingredients in a way that the solution ends up looking consistent, like thoroughly mixed paste.

3. Cover the floor with a plastic sheet

After some time, Henna hair dye can get dry and lumps of it can fall off on the floor, so make sure it is covered with a plastic sheet.

4. It takes time

The process of dyeing is time-consuming, 2-5 hours, so be prepared. So, before you begin it, make sure you don’t have any errands to run or chores to do, and you’re absolutely free.

5. It enhances your hair tone

An organic black henna hair dye can add another dimension to the look of your hair and can enhance its tone, thereby making your hair look more vibrant.

Step 2: Now, apply the paste on your hair, slowly, with a brush, and leave it as it is for at least half an hour if you want a brown shade, and for an hour, if you want a natural-looking black shade.
