Henna and blonde henna in comparison
Henna is one of the basic products of phytocosmetics, known and used for thousands of years from Ancient Egypt, India, Africa. Proper henna is natural or red henna, obtained from the dried and pulverized leaves of a shrub, Lawsonia inermis. Neutral henna, on the other hand, is extracted from another plant, the Senna Italica (also known by the name of Cassia Obovata). Henna has rebalancing properties that benefit the scalp, useful for fighting seborrhea and oily dandruff.
Blond henna is another variant of natural origin that gives the hair golden shades like that of hair kissed by the summer sun, but without the dryness of exposure to the strongest rays. It is often accompanied by a mix of dyeing herbs, that is, which have the ability to release pigmentation on the skin: Katam (Buxus dioica), Indigo and Lawsonia. Perfect for those with light brown or blond hair, but without chromatic effects in case of darker hair. In addition, blond henna can cover white hair, but some care is needed in the application and not all dyeing herbs totally cover them.
Henna on bleached hair
Are dyes and bleaches compatible with henna and dyeing herbs? Yes, but with small precautions. Pure henna does not cause problems on dyed or bleached hair. The other tincture herbs do not create nuisances, except for Indigo. Discoloration should be excluded if you have used it, as you may find yourself with green hair! Also reflect on the use of blond henna on bleached hair, since it is more likely to get a coppery and not the classic blond-yellow. Above all, check that the henna does not contain sodium picramate, to avoid unpleasant chromatic results.
Blonde henna: the shades of color
It is good to remember that natural herbal dyes do not have the ability to lighten or bleach the hair, because they do not contain adequate substances, such as hydrogen peroxide. It is therefore not possible to create highlights with a vegetable color, but to obtain a color similar to your own, enriched with vibrant and bright reflections or a darker tint, tone on tone. If you have a golden blonde effect in mind, add a compress of lemon, yogurt or honey and chamomile infusion to the henna which accentuates the golden, such as the hair of Blake Lively and Sienna Miller.
