How To Henna Hair

Proven by various researchers and years of tradition, Mehndi is an exceptional antidote for hair loss and fragility. This has overwhelming resulted in its silent popularity in today's world.

Mehndi naturally encourages the growth of the hair and it strengthens the roots preventing hair thinning. Used as a conditioner, and a dye, it has become popular among men as well - especially for their beards.

For the application of Mehndi on the hair you must get the packed Henna powder which contains all the essential additives. Then you just add plain water to create a paste which is not too thick or too runny in its consistency. You can even add few drops, like 5 - 6, of Hair oil to improve the results, if desired.

When you apply the Henna, it is absolutely essential to ONLY use glass or plastic butter - knives and avoid any metallic or steel ones. Only apply near the roots and not on the complete length of the hair.  

One by one separate small strands of hair to one fixed side and spread the Henna, with the help of the knife, so that it completely covers the scalp of the head. While completing this task be sure to cover the whole scalp area to the neck.

Once the application of the Mehndi process is completed then cover the head with a black scarf. Any black material can be used as it just prevents leaking of the paste to the face or neck while it gets hotter - due to the temperature of head.

Keep the Henna on for a maximum 4 - 6 hours to achieve the best results in the form of colour as well as increased nourishment.

To remove the excess dye simply shampoo with fairly warm water and slowly scrub the hair. Do not be to aggressive - otherwise it can break off the hair.

It is very important to repeat this procedure at least once a week for 1 to 2 successive months. This enhances the condition of the hair and guarantees you get the best results!
