New Delhi: Henna is one of the most common ingredients for the hair colouring needs of almost every natural hair care enthusiast. This versatile hair care ingredient can be used to maintain overall hair health. Let’s take a look at the benefits
- Improves Scalp Health
Henna helps improve and maintain scalp health with its cooling, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties. It helps soothe the aggravated and itchy scalp while also treating issues like dandruff, scalp irritation, and other fungal infections.
- Enhances Hair Color
Henna is a well-known natural hair dye, but it can also improve your hair’s natural pigment and prevent premature greying of hair.
- Relieves Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance in the production of free radicals. It causes hair loss, hair damage, breakage, and premature greying of hair. Henna has antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress.
- Conditions Your Hair
A Palestinian study shows that henna has hair-conditioning properties. This is because henna helps seal the hair cuticle so that it can retain moisture. Pair it with ingredients like egg or yogurt to enhance its effects.
- Repairs Damage And Strengthens Hair
Henna is extremely nourishing, which helps repair damage in the hair shaft. It also improves hair elasticity and strength, which keeps your hair from breaking off. This also helps repair and prevent split ends.
