Information about henna:

Henna is the only natural alternative to chemical hair dyes that are controversial for health reasons and harsh on hair. Rainbow Henna is 100% natural, plant-based and contains no additives, chemicals, preservatives, mineral salts or metals. Henna has been practiced and documented around the world for over 9,000 years.

Red henna is derived from a small shrub called Lawsonia and is native to the Middle East, Western Asia, and North Africa. The leaves are dried and crushed into a fine powder. We also use the following plants: Blue Indigo, Cassia obovata, chrysanthemum and chamomile flowers to create different shades. We select the best plants from around the world for our hair dyes.

Rainbow Henna covers every strand of hair. The shade of henna is reflected in the hair while enhancing your natural hair color. The hair shaft becomes smoother as the henna coats the hair shaft, giving the hair a shine by reflecting light. Regular use of henna gives the hair a stronger texture and gives it a great shape, which becomes more noticeable with each use.

Rainbow Henna lasts for approximately 4 to 6 weeks, but is safe for repeated use.

Method of use

Method of preparation:

Henna can be used on dry or wet hair, but it is important that the hair is clean and free of any sprays, gels or conditioners. If you shampoo it first, dry it before using henna.

Pour the Rainbow Henna powder into a plastic cup or bowl. Use enough powder to cover the desired areas.

*Do not use a metal bowl or any metal utensils*

Boil 8-16 ounces of liquid (water, coffee, or tea). Gradually add the liquid and mix with a wooden or plastic spoon until you have a creamy, yogurt-like mixture. You can add more liquid if the mixture is thick or thickens during use. You don’t have to use all of the liquid, just the amount needed to get the right consistency.

To help cover gray or white hair, mix the powder with coffee or tea and 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

*See the specific actions below to get the desired results

*Special recipes and instructions for use on gray hair and getting the desired results:

Coffee or black tea (English breakfast, Darjeeling, Ceylon): To help lighten red areas, increase brown areas, or cover gray/white hair, replace coffee or tea with water. Use black brewed coffee, not instant coffee.

Coffee substitutes can also be used. They can be used with red, brown and black henna shades.

Red tea (Rooibos, cranberry leaf, red hops): To help enhance the red color spectrum and make it more vibrant. Can be used with all shades of henna.

Chrysanthemum tea: To help enhance and accentuate golden locks. Can be used with shades of henna blonde, velvet blonde, and strawberry blonde.

For dry hair:

Add one egg, 2-4 tablespoons of yogurt to the henna mixture. Just choose one of these options. These natural ingredients not only condition the hair, but they can also help with the washing process

Natural henna: Used as a conditioner, it helps add beauty and shine to the hair. Neutral or “pure” henna does not affect the color. Mix it with boiling water until you get the desired viscosity and apply it to the hair in the same shade and color.

Use

You can wear a plastic or rubber glove to avoid contaminating your hands, although henna practically does not stain or scalp. Henna is heat-sensitive and we recommend using it within a short period of mixing it.

Henna is practically trace-free and contains no known allergens, however, if you have sensitive skin or chemical sensitivities, it is recommended that you try it first on a patch of skin before using it fully.

Hair strand. The strands should be the same thickness.
When the henna mixture is at a safe temperature (warm to hot), start with the scalp and apply the henna with a brush, pomade or by hand from root to tip.
Continue until the hair is completely covered with the henna mixture.
Place a strip of fabric or cotton around the hair strands (optional).
Cover the hair with a shower cap, plastic bag, or plastic wrap to keep the henna on the hair.
Wrap a handkerchief around the head to keep the heat in.

Timing

For best results use a dome-shaped salon dryer, a heat lamp, or a convection heating cap

Leave it as follows:

Black, red, burgundy, mahogany, burgundy, dark brown, medium brown, and copper – with heating 45-60 and without heating 60-75 minutes. Frisian Blonde, Blonde, Velvet Blonde, Light Brown, and Neutral with heating from 30-45 minutes, without heating from 45-60 minutes.

After the allotted time, rinse thoroughly with hot water and then rinse with cold water. Follow with Rainbow Henna conditioner and shampoo. Rinse thoroughly and style. To see great results, the hair should be completely dry.

The timing can be increased if the hair is resistant.

Hair products that contain essential oils, such as perfumes, should not be used when coloring hair with henna. Essential oils exfoliate the henna layer from the hair, causing the color to fade quickly.

Ingredients

Black Henna – Indigofera, lawsonia inermis.

Warnings

For external use only.

Store in a cool, dry place. Packed by weight. Do not use in the eye area or if there are open wounds on the scalp. A strand test is recommended if the hair is more than 20% gray.
