Those hairs that come out need to spread out on a white sheet of paper and count them. If their number does not exceed 15, but when they are much more need to be taken to preserve the density of their hair.

Henna properties

Henna is a herbal remedy that has long been used for medical purposes. Its powder was used in ancient times in the East against hair loss, for the treatment of seborrhea, getting rid of dandruff. On the basis of henna, an ointment was prepared to heal purulent wounds, stomatitis, ulcers. Lawsonium is distinguished by its disinfectant and antibacterial properties.

Henna, which is used for dyeing, is extracted from the top leaves of lawsonia. Their powder has a resistant pigment. If you successfully choose the concentration of the powder and the time of influence, you can paint the curls from a soft golden color to a rich red with a reddish tint.

For colorless henna take the stems of Lawsonia. In them there is no dye pigment, therefore, they can not afford to give the hair any shade. It is this kind of henna that has found its use for the restoration of hair.

The therapeutic effect of henna is due to the fact that it penetrates deeply into the inner layer of the hair, nourishes it and protects against the negative effects of external factors. That is why colorless henna is best for colored hair. It is undesirable to paint the hair after henna treatment, as the coloring pigments will not be able to penetrate the protective layer of henna.

The tannins and essential oils that are part of Lawson have a positive effect on the health of curls that have been stained.

In general, the following properties of henna can be distinguished:

moisturizes hair and fills them with nutrients
gives volume to thin and fragile curls,
gives shine shine
copes with the painting of gray hair.

Hair masks with henna

Henna hair treatment is an effective procedure that will help restore their thickness and healthy appearance. The composition of the leaves of henna are dyes - chlorophyll and yellow-red lavson. In addition, it contains tannins, fatty substances, resins, vitamins. This herbal remedy can be used not only to dye hair, but also to restore the damaged structure, accelerate growth, strengthen the roots and protect against negatively influencing factors.

On its basis it is possible to prepare masks with various components.

Henna - a tool that can be combined with any products. An excellent duet will be loveson and natural yoghurt. To prepare this remedy, pour 1 tsp. powder with the same amount of hot water. To the mixture add 2 tbsp. l fermented milk product. This mask is applied in the same way as the previous version.

Mask with henna and vitamins is an effective composition that can strengthen the roots and make hair docile, smooth and shiny. This tool is in great demand among women in the East. It is easy to prepare it, but for this you need to stock up not only colorless henna, but also an oil solution of vitamin A and E, burdock or almond oil. Lawson powder (1 tsp) needs to be filled with boiling water and let it brew for about 15 minutes. In the mixture pour warm 100 ml of warm oil and a couple of drops of vitamins. From this amount of ingredients, you can get the amount of the mixture, from which you can make a mask several times. So that the composition does not deteriorate, it must be placed in the refrigerator, and it is necessary to warm it up before the procedure. The mixture must be applied to the roots and must be kept for at least 3-4 hours.

This recipe is a godsend for those with hair that quickly grows fat. For the mask you need to take 1 tsp. powder Lawson and mix it with 2 tbsp. l lemon juice. Add 2 eggs and some kefir to the mixture. Spread the gruel on the hair roots and wrap the head with plastic wrap. Soak the mask for about 45 minutes and rinse with shampoo.

This mask will help strengthen the hair roots and enhance their growth. To prepare it you need to take henna, cocoa, kefir or yogurt, burdock oil, yolk and clove powder. All components are mixed to the consistency of thick cream and apply on the hair roots. Wash off with shampoo in an hour.

Security measures and helpful recommendations

Before you put a mask on your hair, you should conduct a test for the absence of allergies. To do this, pulp from lawson and water should be applied to the skin behind the ear for a few minutes. If this area does not turn red and there is no itching, you can proceed to the treatment of hair with henna.

In order for hair therapy with henna to bring maximum benefit, the following recommendations should be followed:

apply shampoo to wash off the mask,
prepare a henna mask in a ceramic container, do not use metal spoons for stirring,
apply the product to clean and dried hair,
To enhance the effect, you can mix henna with essential or base oils.
Before applying the mask to lubricate the skin at the hairline with vegetable oil, as the henna pigment has a high durability, and it will be difficult to wash it off the skin in the future.

Conclusion

To start henna hair treatment in those cases, if alopecia has just started to develop. Using lawson will help not only strengthen the hair roots, but also improve them in general. In case of hair loss, it is impractical to rely on only one means for external use. To solve this problem, an exclusively integrated approach is needed.

Henna Hair Treatment

To begin treatment of hair with colorless henna, let's deal with the type of hair. Henna dries hair a little, so if you have it and so dry, and your skin is oily, then the mask is better to put on the scalp. So the roots get the necessary nutrition. In this case, you can feed the tips in other ways, for example, with gelatin henna hair masks. With oily hair things are a little different - henna is applied along the entire length.

Do you want to dye your hair red? Take advantage of colorless henna. If you decide not only to treat the curls, but also to change the image, then the usual henna is your option.

Why does henna treat hair? It's simple. It penetrates into the inner layers of hair and nourishes them, smoothes the scales to each other, making the hairs smooth, displaces all harmful chemicals and prevents them from penetrating there again (haven't you forgotten yet that this is an excellent antibacterial substance?). It is for this reason that it is not recommended to make henna masks for freshly painted, bleached hair, henna will immediately start expelling all chemical components, causing the hair to fade.

After the treatment with henna, it is better not to use hair dye, as the color simply will not be taken. However, many girls note that modern hair dye products manage to penetrate the protective film created by henna.

We treat dry hair

Dilute the powder with water. The amount depends on the length of the hair, but usually one bag is enough. To the mixture is added 2 tablespoons of burdock and castor oil, as well as avocado pulp.

Mix the mask and let it brew for half an hour. The resulting mixture is applied to the hair and scalp, you need to keep an hour, then rinse with warm water.

Mask for fat roots

For the hair, prone to rapid pollution, we make a mask of henna, blue clay and lemon.

Diluted powder and clay in a separate container, then mix the ingredients. Add the juice of half a lemon to the mixture and apply a mask on the roots, avoiding the hair itself.

It is enough to wait half an hour and wash off the mask.

Terms of use henna: Indian Basma

Before using the dye, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of using Basma.

For hair, use only fresh masks. Do not keep the remnants of the mixtures in the refrigerator - they will lose useful properties,
Do not use the powder more often 3 times a month, provided that you have oily hair. Owners of dry curls should be careful with Basma and make masks based on it no more than once a month,
Girls with light strands even colorless powder can give an unexpected shade that will wash off after a while,
Pay attention to the composition. Often black henna for hair in the composition has additional chemicals.

When painting your hair, follow the rules for using henna and you will get a bright, saturated color.

Thus, nature itself gives beauties many options to become even better and more beautiful. So why not use them?

Useful properties of henna

The useful properties of this plant are difficult to overestimate, and henna dyeing and hair treatment is not its only use.

In addition, the aroma of henna oils can scare off harmful insects, relieve headaches and restore potency in men.

Naturally, people simply could not pass such properties, which is documented since the 16th century BC. Dated by this period, Ebers papyrus not only mentions this remedy as a therapeutic drug, but also contains specific recipes for its use.

In our open spaces, most often henna hair is treated or used as natural coloring matter.

Use henna for hair treatment

This natural dye is able to cope with the following problems:

The tannins and essential oils which are a part of henna, well influence the painted, subjected to a chemical wave or just damaged hair, restoring their structure.
Hair treatment with henna strengthens their roots and significantly heals the scalp.
Henna suspends the process of hair loss, and with regular use it can stop the process altogether.
The antibacterial properties of this natural substance help to fight microorganisms on the surface of the scalp, which cause dandruff. As a result, it is possible to get rid of the latter completely.
Due to the fact that henna as if envelops the surface of the hair, it creates on its surface a protective film that protects against ultraviolet radiation.
Moisturizes and nourishes the hair with useful nutrients, including the necessary vitamin B. As a result, the hair becomes smooth, soft and silky.
Gives volume to thin and lifeless hair.
It gives hair of all types a mirror shine.
Perfectly paints over gray hair.

And if we also take into account the fact that henna is a substance of plant origin, we can say with absolute certainty that it can be used by everyone, young and old, including pregnant women and nursing women.

Color and colorless henna

Henna, which is used for dyeing and healing, is obtained from the top leaves of lawsonia. They, dried and crushed, contain a lasting pigment. Properly selected powder concentration and exposure time can dye hair from a pale golden color to a rich red with a red tint.

Colorless henna is obtained from the stalks of lawsonia. They do not contain coloring pigment in their composition and do not dye their hair. Such colorless henna hair is treated, making it strong and beautiful.

Therefore, when there is a desire to strengthen and improve their hair, not coloring it at the same time, it is successfully using colorless henna.

Use henna depending on hair type and their needs

Most often, henna for hair treatment is used in the form of an ordinary mask, which is quite simple to prepare:

But it happens that the hair has a certain set of qualities and deficiencies and need special care. For these purposes, a universal mask of colorless henna, but additionally enriched with essential oils, is most often used.

Each type and condition has its own oils that enhance the effect of the henna mask and at the same time give up the valuable substances they contain.

Henna benefits

Henna powder solves many problems:

treats hair loss (also mustard mask can help from hair loss),
stimulates growth
helps to get rid of dandruff
helps to cope with itching of the head,
paints over gray hair,
solves the problem of split ends (copes with split ends and burdock oil).

Home Use Policy

Treatment procedures differ from conventional staining in that:

there is no need to thoroughly paint the roots,
the composition of the masks includes additional components
It is possible to keep the received means on hair much less time.

Masks, in which the main component is henna or basma, give additional volume, strengthen the roots, improve the condition of the hair follicles. Thus, they prevent the loss, from which a huge number of women and men suffer. Hair treatment with henna thickens them along the entire length and accelerates growth. In order for the treatment to produce the expected result, you need to adhere to the basic rules:

Use henna in homemade beauty recipes should be regularly. If you were able to get rid of dandruff using this tool, do not forget about prophylactic use to consolidate the result. It is almost impossible to get rid of dandruff once and for all with the help of any means, especially if there is a tendency towards it. Repeated procedures are necessary, otherwise dandruff will appear again.
Using henna, have a sense of proportion. There are people who henna for the treatment of hair does not fit. If you do not know what will be the reaction of the body to the mask, in which there is henna, try to apply it for a short time and in small quantities. Watch carefully if you have itchy and irritated skin. For any manifestations of allergy, henna will have to be abandoned in order not to heal the consequences of such an inattentive attitude towards your body.
Do not forget that product quality matters. Trust only proven tools. Henna, Basma and other natural products must be of high quality and fresh. Any products that expire may have the opposite effect.

How to use homemade beauty products

Before you start the recovery, it is important to know your hair type and clearly define the goal that you plan to achieve.

Owners of dry hair, a mixture with a drying effect, can be applied only to the scalp. The roots will receive the necessary nutrients, and the ends will not dry out. With the same purpose, essential or vegetable oils are added to masks from Iranian henna.

The best way to use the mixture for those whose hair quickly becomes greasy and looks untidy - application from the roots to the tips.

For those whose hair is greasy at the roots, and the entire length is dry, the product is applied along the entire length, avoiding application to the tips.

Do not forget that henna and basma have a coloring effect. Therefore, if your plans do not include changing the shade, it is better to use colorless henna. It has the same healing properties as in normal. It prevents hair loss and improves blood circulation, and also contributes to the outflow of lymph in the scalp. This tool is the best for owners of light hair, as well as dull and lifeless, which are transformed after several procedures.

When planning to use natural products, do not confuse white henna with colorless. White henna does not possess any healing properties, contains chemicals in its composition and is used exclusively for bleaching.

Masks - the best way to restore hair
