Henna for Hair

What Is Henna for Hair?

Henna is a dye derived from the leaves of the henna plant, traditionally ground into a paste and applied to the hair, where it bonds to the strand to deposit warm, natural-looking color. Unlike conventional color, it does not lift or lighten; instead it layers tone and richness over your existing shade.

Beyond color, henna is prized for its conditioning qualities. It coats each strand, which can add body, smoothness, and a healthy shine while supporting the hair's natural strength, an approach long valued in Ayurvedic hair care.

Why Choose Henna

• Plant-based color for those seeking a more natural alternative
• Gentle on the scalp, with no harsh lifting agents
• Adds conditioning, body, and a luminous, healthy shine
• Builds rich, warm tone that deepens with repeat applications
• Can blend and soften the look of gray for a natural-looking result
• Rooted in centuries of Ayurvedic tradition and Anita's specialized training
