The use of natural dye does not damage the hair structure, unlike dyes with a chemical composition, and this is its main advantage. Henna for hair is not only harmless, but also beneficial, as it helps get rid of some cosmetic problems. However, not everything is so simple. Any dye, including henna, has its own characteristics that are not suitable for everyone.

Positive sides:

• No allergic reactions;
• Possibility of use during pregnancy and lactation;
• Henna for hair has antiseptic properties and helps get rid of dandruff;
• When dyeing, the structure of the strands remains unchanged;
• The coloring result lasts a long time;
• Hair becomes smoother, which prevents split ends;
• The strands acquire a vibrant shine;
• The work of the sebaceous glands is regulated, which is so necessary for women with often dirty hair;
• Henna strengthens hair and reduces fragility.

As you can see, from a health point of view, henna for hair deserves the highest score. It takes on not only the role of a dye, but also acts in some situations as a medicine. However, do not rush to draw conclusions. Henna also has a number of cosmetic disadvantages.

Negative sides:

• Henna for hair is not suitable for covering gray hair - the effect will be barely noticeable and will quickly wash off;
• Natural dye is not compatible with chemical ones. If after using henna you want to use regular dye, or vice versa, your hair color may turn out green. It will be very difficult for you to paint over this unesthetic effect;
• Henna neutralizes the frizz effect, straightening the hair;
• With frequent use, the hair and scalp become dry. You need to dye your hair with henna no more than once every 2-3 months;
• The coloring effect fades in the sun;
• If the result does not suit you, you will not be able to correct the situation with the help of chemical paint.

Now you know a little more about the properties of henna. The choice is yours!

The result of henna dyeing depends on the original hair color. A dark brown-haired woman will take on a coppery-red hue, as in the first image. A natural blonde will turn out fiery, like the girl from the second photo. The third photo shows the result that henna gives on brown hair.

If you decide to dye your hair with henna, it will be useful for you to learn about its little secrets so that the dyeing result brings maximum benefits. The rules are very simple:

• Strand test. If you doubt the result, do not rush to dye your entire hair. Getting rid of the persistent effect of henna is not as easy as we would like. Test the dye on a small strand of your hair, and at the same time decide on the exact dyeing time to get the desired shade;
• Follow all instructions in the instructions! As a rule, any henna, both Indian and Iranian, is diluted with water at a temperature of 70 degrees. Henna for hair can be diluted with boiling water, and it will not cease to be a dye, but will completely lose its beneficial properties. Everything that is mentioned on the label is very important;
• Moisturize your hair. Henna has a drying effect, and if you use it more than once every 2 months, regularly make moisturizing hair masks.

How to dye your hair with henna

Depending on the length of the hair, 25-100 grams of dry paint powder are ground in a glass container with the addition of hot water or natural coffee filtered through a sieve to a liquid paste. To ensure color uniformity, you can use binders, namely shampoo or glycerin. To ensure that the dyeing effect does not disappoint you, dye a small strand first. If you are done with the preparations, you can start dyeing your hair like this:

• Moisten clean hair and dry slightly;
• To protect your facial skin from staining, coat the outside of your ears and the top of your forehead with Vaseline. Be sure to use gloves when coloring your hair;
• The dye should be applied to the hair as quickly as possible before it cools down. Start coloring your hair from the back of your head. Divide your hair into partings at a distance of 1-1.5 cm from each other, color the roots with a brush, then gradually go down to the ends;
• Hair along the outer contour is affected last, since it is thinner and dyes faster;
• Wrap your hair in a plastic bag or a special cap, and insulate it with a towel on top.

To obtain a light shade, keep the dye on the hair for 15-40 minutes. For a more saturated color, the dyeing time can last 1-3 hours. Gray hair may take longer to color.

Henna, apparently, was one of the very first dyes that women began to use back in the Ancient East. This miraculous powder was obtained by grinding the bark and leaves of the lawsonia bush (henna). The colors that can be obtained with henna vary in the red range: from bright orange to golden chestnut. It all depends on what hair color is the original one. The lighter the natural tone of the hair, the brighter the shade of red will be, but on very dark hair, henna will be almost invisible and will only give off golden sparkles of shine.

Henna for hair - a healthy natural product

The undeniable advantage of this natural dye compared to chemicals is the fact that henna does not destroy the hair structure. Rather, on the contrary, it heals and strengthens hair. Hair dyed with henna looks strong and strong and shines in the sun.

Henna does not penetrate the hair shaft itself, but simply envelops the scales and smoothes them. It is due to this that the effect of thicker and heavier hair appears. And the ends don’t look as split as before.

In addition, the positive effect of henna extends not only to the hair itself, but also to the scalp. The functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized, respectively, the skin becomes cleaner, there is no dandruff and excess fat, which makes the hair greasy and dirty.

Henna is an absolutely safe type of dye because it does not contain any chemical substances. You can dye your hair with it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Allergic reactions are practically absent. The only exception may be individual intolerance to this substance.

Colorless henna is used to improve hair health, because... the coloring pigment has been removed from it.

Hair coloring with henna at home

To get a predictable result and the desired color, you should consider several rules for dyeing hair with henna at home:

The prepared warm dye mixture should be applied only to cleanly washed hair. But don't use conditioner or conditioner. They make the hair structure smoother, which will not allow henna to get under the hair scales and the color will not be uniform.

Henna can only be diluted in a plastic or ceramic container, because any metal container can provoke a chemical reaction and then the resulting color will be an unpleasant surprise for you.

The henna solution (diluted with hot water) should be applied while still warm. Accordingly, it is advisable to do this fairly quickly. The order of application is the same as when using chemical dyes: first the roots, then distribute along the entire length of the hair. It is advisable to wrap your hair in plastic and a towel.

- The time it takes you to dye with henna depends on how rich and intense the color you want to get. The longer you leave the dye on your hair, the more vibrant the color will be. For light hair, forty minutes is enough; for dark hair, it will take up to one and a half hours.

It is strictly forbidden to wash off henna with shampoo, otherwise the entire effect of its effects will be lost. It is enough to rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the henna stops coloring the water and until all particles are combed out of the strands. After washing, you can apply balm or conditioner.

You will see the final shade and brightness of the color after a couple of days, because henna takes time to “play” on your hair. For better coloring, experts recommend repeating the procedure 2-3 more times to achieve a deeper, more saturated color.

Little tricks for dyeing with henna

The fresher the henna, the better and faster it colors the hair. Turkish, Israeli and Egyptian henna acts faster than Russian one.

There is no need to wash your hair for three days after dyeing it with henna, then the color will be more saturated. also try not to do it in the next 5 days, especially oil-based ones.

You can speed up the dyeing process by drying your hair with the mixture applied with a hairdryer.

- If the color obtained after dyeing is too bright for you, rub vegetable oil into your hair. It will absorb excess henna. After half an hour, wash your hair with shampoo. If necessary, all steps are repeated.

Henna is a popular dye, in demand among fans of natural beauty products. But the talk about the negative sides of henna does not subside for a minute. Let's try to shed more light on this controversial issue. So, what are the benefits and harms of henna for hair?

Henna and its positive effect on strands

The positive qualities of this substance have been known since those times when store shelves were not lined with a hundred different “chemical” brands. And, truly, it is almost impossible to overestimate the importance of henna. One has only to look at the luxurious braids of oriental beauties, who have long used Iranian powder not only for coloring, but also for the general health of their strands. Natural henna:

• Helps cure dandruff as it is a natural antiseptic;
• Colors strands without changing their structure;
• Gives rich and lasting color;
• Strengthens the hair follicle;
• Smoothes hair scales, preventing them from splitting and splitting;
• Makes hair shiny and smooth;
• How is henna good for hair? It does not cause allergic reactions, which will certainly be appreciated by women prone to irritation and redness;
• Tannins contained in henna regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands and improve the condition of the epidermis;
• It has practically no contraindications, you can use it even during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• There are also no age restrictions on the use of this product;
• Makes the hair denser;
• Reduces strand fragility.

Are there any disadvantages?

Is henna harmful to hair? This question does not lose its relevance even for a second, because every girl dreams not only of beautiful, but also of healthy hair. What are the disadvantages of natural henna? She:

• Does not cover gray hair well;
• Incompatible with conventional paints. If you decide to use it on already colored strands, the color may not come out quite as you expected. The same applies to applying dye to hair previously dyed with henna. In this case, the tint will be green;
• Has a negative effect on curling. She will straighten your curls in no time!
• Dries out strands and scalp. Tannins, which have a positive effect on oily skin, are extremely undesirable for dry hair types. Having lost a large amount of moisture, the strands begin to break and fall out;
• Frequent application of henna breaks the protective layer of the strands, and this leads to dullness and split ends. And the hair itself loses its elasticity, becoming stiff and unruly;
• It fades in the sun. However, all coloring agents have this drawback;
• It is almost impossible to correct a bad result with chemical paint. Henna, which has enveloping properties, simply will not allow other pigments to penetrate inside the hair.

How to reduce the harmful effects of henna?

Now you know everything about the dangers and benefits of henna for hair, but the most interesting is yet to come. You won’t believe it, but any of you can neutralize the negative impact of henna! To do this you need to follow a few basic rules:

1. Do not color more than once a month.
2. Do not overuse masks based on colorless henna. For beautiful hair, one session per week is enough.
3. When dyeing your strands, even try to combine natural henna with chemical dye. The result will be disastrous.
4. Do not deviate from the instructions on the package. Incorrect preparation of the color mixture will lead to a radical change in color.
5. She is afraid of high temperatures. By diluting it only with boiled water, you will completely lose all its beneficial properties. Be sure to cool the liquid to 70 degrees and only then pour the powder into it.
6. Before henna, do a preliminary test on a thin strand.

Having passed through many centuries, henna remains one of the best cosmetic products, and if used wisely, it will work real miracles on your hair!

It is obvious to everyone that Asian women have beautiful, long and healthy hair. Do you know why? They regularly use henna and basma to color and strengthen their hair. With constant use, henna penetrates into the deep layer of hair and thus thickens it. The hair literally glows from the inside, and plays with many shades in the sun. With the constant use of unnatural chemical dyes, the hair becomes more brittle, weaker, and falls out, although it looks great immediately after dyeing. But why bother yourself with such aggressive compounds when there is a natural remedy, namely henna for hair.

Let's look together at such natural dyes as henna and basma, and how they make our hair beautiful and healthy. After all, hair and hands are a woman’s calling card. You can tell a lot about her by the way a woman takes care of them.

What types of henna are there for hair?

So, henna can be colorless, red (red) and black basma. We can say that there is a choice for every taste, but not for blondes. However, let's understand all the types before drawing conclusions.

Colorless henna is used to strengthen hair and fight dandruff and dry scalp. This is generally a universal natural antiseptic. It can be used for oily hair; it regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands of the scalp very well. Colorless henna is also effective in fighting dandruff if you have a dry scalp. In this case, add a few tablespoons of olive or coconut oil to the mixture. In general, this type of hair henna is suitable for girls with any hair color. It doesn't color them, but makes them healthy.

Red or red henna for hair has all of the above advantages, plus it gives a beautiful red color. It is very important to remember that the final color after dyeing depends on the initial hair color and time. Almost every package indicates not only this data, but also how long you need to keep it on your head. If you have dark hair, henna will give it a darker bronze color. The lighter the initial hair shade, the brighter and more saturated the final result will be.

Basma is a natural dye that dyes hair black. When using it, you need to take into account several very important nuances:

• Basma should not be applied to hair without first coloring it with henna. You may not like the end result. If you have blonde hair, it may turn swamp green. If they are dark, they may acquire a dirty tint.
• If you nevertheless dyed your hair with basma without henna, do not try to remove it with dye. In this case, the pigment will penetrate the hair even more and the only way to get rid of the swamp color is to cut the hair.
• It is important for yourself to remember that if you decide to switch to natural dyes, then you cannot use dye after that until your hair grows back. After natural dyes have penetrated deep into the cuticle and core of the hair, synthetic dyes can appear in the most unpredictable colors and shades - from pink to blue.

The benefits of using henna and basma

1. If you are allergic to paint or one of its ingredients, then with the help of henna and basma you can achieve incredibly beautiful colors and shades.
2. You can dye your hair quite often (for example, once every 2 weeks).
3. The hair looks healthy and, unlike dye, the color does not fade for a long time.
4. If you have oily hair, with regular use, hair henna regulates the secretion of the scalp glands.

Cons of using henna for hair

1. It is impossible to accurately predict the original color, since the final result appears 2-3 days after dyeing, under the influence of oxygen.
2. May be drying to the scalp if your hair is very dry.
3. In the first days after dyeing, the hair has a specific herbal smell.
4. Applying henna is a rather labor-intensive and time-consuming process, and you can keep it on your head for up to 24 hours.
5. Unlike dye, on clean, damp hair, but in this case you cannot use any balms, combing sprays, or conditioners.
   

   Tested - if anything other than shampoo is used immediately before dyeing, the color will not take on.

6. It is recommended to wash your hair with shampoo no earlier than the 3rd day after coloring.

Personal experience of using henna and basma

So, over the past 4 years, I have tried henna and basma on myself from various manufacturers. Among them were the following brands:

This was the first henna I tried on my hair. I kept it on for 3 hours the first time and didn’t see much result. Later, I used it for some time on its own and together with basma. On my hair, when I used henna on its own, it gave it a fiery red tint. When mixed with basma in equal proportions or 75/25, the color did not last long on the hair. It is best to use henna in its pure form, or first henna and then basma. Washing off Fito Cosmetic is not very problematic. The first week after dyeing, and sometimes longer, the hair has a specific smell.

This manufacturer offers two types of henna, Iranian and Indian. I like premium Indian henna. It leaves my hair shiny and gives my dark hair a dark burgundy color. It washes off very well. I recommended it to some of my friends, and everyone was satisfied. It is this type of henna that I like the most among all the inexpensive products.

The highest grade is also good, but it gives the hair a lighter red color compared to Indian. I tried mixing it with basma and it was my mistake. This mixture does not color the hair at all. That is, first you need to apply henna for 1-3 hours, then wash it off and apply basma. In this case, the hair turned brown. The downside is that it will take a day to dye your hair using this method. Of course, you can simultaneously do face masks, body spa treatments, manicures, pedicures, depilation, and walk around with a bag on your head. It is difficult to wash off such a mixture; you need to use additional hair balm.

Henna and basma FitoKraina

The products of this brand did not impress me at all, so I cannot recommend them.

Henna for hair Henne

This is henna from an Italian manufacturer. Henné offers red henna without additional dyes. And also black and red henna with natural dyes. I used black henna. The cost for 200 grams is 12 euros (in Italy). I liked the effect, since the manufacturer adds natural dyes to enhance the color. You need to keep it on your head for about an hour, you can wash it off with shampoo and conditioner. My hair doesn't smell like henna. No matter how strange it may sound, I did not find natural black basma in Italy.

I tried the products of this manufacturer during my last coloring and realized that this is exactly what my hair and I have been looking for for the last 5 years! So, the advantages:

• The oils smell very nice,
• applies well
• washes off well
• the color is rich and bright.

The manufacturer recommends that after use, wash it off with a mild shampoo without aggressive surfactants and citrus fruits. After it, the hair is soft, delicate, crumbly, shiny, as if after an expensive renewal procedure. I recommend to all. Sellers in the store offer several shades - red, bronze, chestnut and brown. I used chestnut. The composition of chestnut henna includes henna, basma, cocoa, cinnamon, aromatic oils.

I didn’t get a pure chestnut color, but I did get a reddish-chestnut color. Next time I'll try brown. Henna is a natural dye and requires an individual approach. You need to find your color through experimentation. For me, the only drawback is the price. For 365 grams you will have to pay approximately 17-20 euros. But it's worth it. For my long hair, this amount is enough for about 4-7 applications, since I apply exclusively to the roots and do not need to apply to the entire length of my hair. After 4 years of using henna and basma, the cuticle of my hair is saturated with pigments, so I don’t dye my curls.

Good day everyone! For the last six months I have been actively using basma and recording observations. It's time to put them in one post What is good about basma, subtleties of application, is it worth starting - my experience and conclusions.

Advantages

Like henna, basma, unlike artificial pigment, does not devastate the hair and does not make it fragile after natural washing. Each new coloring only improves the quality of the hair. But if you skip and don’t make a mask for 2-3 months, nothing bad will happen. The color will be partially washed off; and the density, smoothness and shine will be the same as the hair itself is capable of. There is no cancellation effect.

On previously hennaed hair OR together with henna, basma can give hair stunningly beautiful shades of brown. Their depth can be varied depending on the ratio of henna and basma in the coloring mixture and the length of time the mask is left on the head.

With high-quality basma (and equally high-quality henna) it’s easy to achieve a beautiful color. My mask contains only: basma, henna, water, coconut oil. All! No salt, chamomile infusions, wine or other nonsense. Hair is perfectly colored the first time.

Basma strongly irons the hair, creating a “flat iron” effect. Hair is straightened and reflects light well.

I dyed my hair with basma regularly for six months. No creases, split ends. Hair doesn't get damaged.

Minuses or rather the subtleties of use

Coloring with basma takes more time than with henna alone. For the most saturated shade, it is better not to insist on basma. Therefore, you cannot keep it in water like henna for 10 hours and then leave it on your head for 30-60 minutes. You need to immediately apply the mask with basma to your hair and then wait. The longer it takes, the darker the color will be.

Some basma powders can cause headaches. I don’t know why this is explained. This happened to me once. After 2.5 hours I felt unwell, and after another 15 minutes I began to feel sick. It reminds me of food poisoning. Nothing like this happened with other basma powders.

With basma it is not always easy to get the right shade. You can miscalculate time and proportions and get black. This is if there is more basma than henna and leave the mask for a long time. But sometimes, on the contrary, you don’t keep the mask on your head enough or you added too much henna and the resulting color turns out to be shallow brown and red/red. Or light brown with a red/red tint. It also greatly depends on the specific basma.

Using ready-made mixtures of basma and henna and mixtures of basma with other powders, I did not notice any thickening of the hair. Basma does not thicken, as henna does well. Or maybe I just haven’t gotten my hands on the kind of basma that thickens at the level of henna.

The shade obtained using basma is washed off almost completely at first. As with henna, the more dyeing procedures, the richer the color and the higher its durability. I can say that the henna on some of my hair is no longer washed off. Steadfastly stays red This is both a plus and a minus

The longer you dye your hair with basma (henna with basma), the darker the length and... the redder the roots. Hair from the roots, on which there is still little henna and little basma, does not have time to dye to the richness of a multi-colored length. It's not scary. The roots can be further colored later. Let's say after 2-3 washes (or later). You may need to keep the mask on them longer than before.

If you plan to dye your hair with henna or basma, you need to moisturize it thoroughly. Maintain a level of hair moisture at which this very coloring does not make it even drier and harsher.
I talked about my “No Dryness” coloring method. He hasn't changed.

Why did I leave the redhead?

It was he who left me!) For a year I regularly painted myself with henna, pursuing essentially the only goal - density. I didn't care much about hair color. I know red suits me.

But over time, the hair became not red, but red. An unnatural, bright, provocative color that just makes you tired. Vulgar Red hair requires bright lips and generally tilts my neutral color type towards warm. This is very obligatory to certain shades in clothes and makeup. Drives into frames...

About 4 years ago there was a period when I struggled with Aroma-zone basma and henna. I wore makeup every 2 weeks. But all I could get from them was a dark gray, very boring color. For healthy natural hair. It's a shame. So much effort, time, expectations... The disappointment turned out to be so strong that I didn’t want to take up Basma again.
And yet the time of Basma has come

EAST MAGIC | HAKHLE* | LUKMAN | SHAHARAH

With basma I try to achieve a rich shade of brown. And after the next dyeing, this shade is always different. For the last six months I have tried different basma. Most often in mixtures. I’m rarely lucky enough to get something homemade, according to my own recipe, so I ordered a couple of ready-made mixtures of henna and basma and basma separately, just in case.

One of these ready-made mixtures is. If we talk about the color, it is beautiful. Afterwards there were ready-made mixtures of Hakhle and Lukman from Aster Light Industries (UAE). In terms of grinding quality and caring properties, they are very similar to East Magic. At first glance, the consistency of the mixture obtained from them is creamy and pleasant, but it applies to the hair and is washed off very poorly. The density is given to a C grade, no more. I didn't like the colors. The reflection is clearly red. And with each wash, the red glow grew into a dominant shade. The hair turned red again.

EAST MAGIC composition: henna, basma (Iran)**. 200 g/690 rub.
HAKHLE composition: henna, basma (India). 100 g/380 rub.
LUKMAN composition: henna, basma (Yemen). 100 g/350 rub.
SHAHARAH composition: basma, frankincense, myrrh (Pakistan). 100 g/360 rub.
All 4 powders are packaged identically, exactly like East Magic.

The last in line was a mixture of basma with myrrh and frankincense resins. No henna. Called SHAHARAH.

For coloring I took:
1 tbsp.
1 tbsp.
Shaharah mixture 100 gr
not hot water to the eye
1 tbsp.

After coarsely grinding the previous mixtures, I was surprised by the fine powder of Shaharah. The powder is flexible, like wet river sand. Perhaps the finest grind I have ever seen.
I applied the resulting cream to my hair immediately, without insisting. Not a single grain fell. Top class.
I kept the mask on my head for 3 hours. Under the film, cap. This is the basma that made me feel sick. There was nothing like this with other mixtures. The nausea went away immediately as soon as I washed off the mask.
It's hard to wash off. That's how heavy Hakhle and Lukman are in this regard, this mixture is even worse. I used shampoo three times to wash the mask off my head and out of my hair lengthwise. The mask is sticky. Resins make themselves known. I wouldn't wash them off without shampoo.

The color turned out interesting. And he didn’t calm down right away.
On the day of dyeing, the length was reddish-brown, the roots were red. I thought: “Well, here it is!” Not colored"
The next day the length darkened almost to dull black, the roots became dusty gray.
On the third day, the color of the length and roots evened out, the redness and dustiness disappeared. Came out beautiful brown.
Depending on the lighting, it can be thick black, rich burgundy, dark brown. Reminds me of cherries. I named this shade to myself #blackcherry.

I opened the post on my husband’s laptop and saw my hair was completely different, not the same as on the tablet. Black with a purple tint. Please take my word for it, in real life they are dark brown with a burgundy sheen.

It was the last coloring that gave my hair good density and elasticity and additionally smoothed out the frizz. It would be unfair to say that this is the work of Pakistani Basma alone. It could be the beneficial conditioning of Khadi henna, or maybe one of the two resins.
In addition, the last staining turned out to be permanent. The Indian and Yemeni compositions began to wash off after 2 weeks, and after another week they washed off to the redness of henna. Shaharah got her makeup done on February 20th - 4 weeks have passed. This is incredible! The color hasn't changed at all! Maybe it's resin?)))

Myrrh and frankincense in Shaharah in powder form. Plant resin is dried and ground. You won't find it in the mixture. It is so homogeneous that if you don’t know, you can easily decide that it is a powder from the leaves of one plant.
Frankincense and myrrh have long been highly valued in the East for their exceptional medicinal qualities. Heal irritations, cuts, ulcers; accelerate skin regeneration and rejuvenate. Incense calms, which is why it is used in incense. They were used in the form of powders, oils, soaps, etc. were made with them.

Northwestern India is considered to be the birthplace of Frankincense. It is obtained from plants of the genus Boswellia - a shrub 3-7 meters high, with many small leaves, with white or pale pink flowers. In total, there are more than 25 species of this plant, but only 10 are used in the production of Frankincense; only 4 are used to make essential oil, which can be used for medical and cosmetic purposes. These include Boswellia Serrata from India, Boswellia Scara from Saudi Arabia, Boswellia Carteri from eastern Africa and Boswellia frereana from Somalia.


The European name for Frankincense is frankincense, which can be translated as “Frank incense.” During the Crusades, the French crusaders brought this resin to Europe, and so the name appeared, consisting of the words ‘franc’ - pure and 'encense' - incense. Westerners more often associate the name with the Arabic al-lubán (milk), meaning the milky juice from which the resin is obtained.

The habitat of the myrrh plant is quite wide and varies from the coast of the Indian Ocean to the shores of the Red Sea, and this plant can also be found throughout Northeast Africa, in Ethiopia, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Arabia and nearby islands.


Myrrh is a small tree whose height rarely exceeds 3 meters. Small trifoliate leaves, blood-red flowers and thorns on the branches. The fruit is a drupe.
Myrrh resin has soothing, wound healing, antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. In ancient times it was valued for effective wound healing and treatment of skin diseases.

I have not found objective information about the effects of frankincense or myrrh on hair. A lot of empty words about “regeneration of damaged hair areas,” moisturizing and stimulating growth; not supported by anything.
From one time, and even in a mixture, I cannot draw an unambiguous conclusion.

I didn't like the Hakhle and Lukman blends because they were of poor quality and had an overly red sheen. I do not advise.
And I really liked the result with Shaharah. For those who are attracted to interesting dark shades, it is suitable. She warned me about the “stickiness” of the mask and headaches. Beautiful and healthy hair to you
