No, most will be gone with your initial rinse. And then any trace will wash off easily when you shower (or wash face with soap). Consider: We don’t add any synthetic perfumes to our products (many are known toxins & allergens). All HCL™ products are unscented—just the natural plants, flowers, and herbs that are crushed […]
Coverage. You have to cover all the whiskers for the full application term. If it’s not covered, it will not get color…it’s that simple. So, take your time, and apply to all the tricky spots. Use a combo of your gloved hand and a fine-toothed comb. If in doubt, apply more product. *Super stubborn gray […]
Airtight, Dry, & Cool: The best way to store any remaining powder is to place all in an airtight baggie (Ziplock® or similar). Remove any remaining air and then keep from light. Store in a cool dry place. Don’t store in bathroom—may get too humid and warm. Note: if already mixed with water, then it […]
Easiest way is just time. Most light stains will fade by morning, but if you have a deep, dark stain (you left skin fully exposed and immersed in henna) well, you can only really speed up the fade time by applying nature oils (coconut, olive). They may help fade the stain faster and along with […]
The best way to prevent staining is to apply either lip balm or petroleum jelly around your hairline and neck. Then coat back and top of ears. Just a light application is needed and it will keep the henna from absorbing into the skin. Most stains will fade within 8-12 hours. *as long as you […]
Root Coverage. Be sure to get down to the roots of your hair as you color (this is common for all hair coloring practices). Henna has a thicker consistency than chemical dyes, less runny, and may require a little more attention to ensure that it’s touching and coloring all hair on the scalp. You want […]
One week is advised ideally after using Hair Treatment Henna or Cassia Obovata hair treatments. Both treatments have Ayurvedic botanicals that can linger on the shafts of hair for a few days. They continue to nourish and restore the hair during that interval, but may inhibit proper henna-pigment uptake if you try to color too soon. One […]
This is very normal immediately after the coloring process. The pigments are awaiting entry into the hair protein & to oxidize—performs both at varying rates. NOTE: Your base color will setup immediately & be lovely. Undertones/highlights will transition longer. CONSIDER: Henna and Henna-Herbals need(s) time to oxidize and settle into the hair shaft. This absorption […]
Use quart size mixing bowl per 3.5oz packet(100g) and a spoon to mix. Cover any surfaces that may stain: untreated wood, carpet, fabric, etc. One packet colors straight, shoulder length hair (approximate). Thick and curly hair can require 25-50% more. Pour henna powder into bowl. Add hot, not boiling, water (approx 122º F) gradually to […]
Not really. If you’ve dyed your own hair before at home then this will be very familiar to you. Just read through the included application instructions thoroughly, or review on the website. The Consistency, Scent, and Rinse-out will be the three key differences. (1)Consistency: it will be thicker than your traditional chemical dye (ketchup/pudding consistency). […]
