In today's busy lifestyle, people of all ages are concerned about premature greying of hair. An unhealthy lifestyle and using chemical-based products can make our hair dull and rough. You must have seen your grandmas using Mehndi (henna) for hair darkening. Well, this may be the right time to ditch all harmful hair products and adopt a more natural way to colour hair that also promotes shine. 

Natural hair colouring

Henna won’t only add a beautiful colour to your hair, but it can also get rid of issues like dandruff and hair fall. To use henna, grind the leaves into a paste and apply it to your hair. Once it dries, gently wash your hair with cold water. 

Hair growth

Henna is beneficial for scalp health and hair growth. It strengthens hair follicles, reduces hair fall, and promotes faster hair growth.

Natural hair conditioner

Henna acts as a natural hair conditioner. It helps strengthen hair roots and prevents hair breakage. If your hair has become dry and lifeless, applying henna can be highly beneficial. 

Stress relief

Mehndi contains antioxidant properties that help to reduce oxidative stress. In today's busy lifestyle, stress can lead to hair breakage and loss. The antioxidants in henna help reduce this stress, benefiting overall hair health.

Cleaner scalp

Henna can effectively cleanse the scalp by removing dirt and excess oil. You can also prepare a paste of henna mixed with fenugreek seeds and apply it to your hair for maximum and magical benefits.
