Have you recently discovered henna\u2019s benefits, and you want to use it in your dyed hair?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve two pieces of news for you.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re not the first one to discover henna as a natural element to color your hair<\/a>. After all, 9000 years ago, Cleopatra, the last great queen of Egypt, used it in her hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second piece of news is that you can apply henna on your colored hair but it always has to be 100% NATURAL, WITHOUT ANY ADDED CHEMICALS. <\/span>\n What happens if your henna is mixed with other ingredients?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your hair may suffer extreme damage.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t mean to scare you, just to tell you the truth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you use non-natural henna, chemical additives may create a chemical reaction in your colored hair that may even burn it.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why I insist. Henna has to be 100% natural if you want to use it in your colored hair. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n Also, don\u2019t create false expectations regarding henna. If you want to color your hair blonde or light color, henna is not for you. It only works on intermediate and dark shades,<\/strong><\/span> i.e., black, brown, dark brown, light brown, red, and orange.<\/p>\n IF YOU FIND A BLONDE HENNA-BASED HAIR DYE, DON\u2019T USE IT! IT\u2019LL PROBABLY NOT BE NATURAL HENNA AND WILL SEVERELY DAMAGE YOUR COLORED HAIR. <\/span>\n Do you want to know what hair color you should have to apply henna?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keep reading because I\u2019ll tell you: <\/p>\n To know whether you can apply henna on your colored hair, you must follow a three-step plan: check the henna’s composition, test the strand, and faded dye.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s see what each one is about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First and foremost, the henna you want to use must be completely natural,<\/strong><\/span> and, to make sure, you have to check its ingredients. The henna must have: Those are the only two ingredients your henna must-have.<\/p>\n If you find it has sulfate, ammonia, sodium, hydrogen peroxide, glycerin, or alcohol, it\u2019s not natural henna. Therefore, you mustn\u2019t apply it to your colored hair. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n Once you made sure it\u2019s natural henna, the second step is to perform the strand test<\/a>.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because it\u2019s the only way to check whether you\u2019re allergic to it, even being a natural product, and how your hair may react to it. <\/span>\n It\u2019s a very simple test. You only have to apply henna on one hair strand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step-by-step: <\/p>\n Now comes the most important step: observation.. <\/p>\n If your hair is rough, dry, or brittle, you cannot apply henna on your colored hair <\/span> because it dehydrates hair, and you\u2019ll notice it damaged and weak in no time.<\/p>\n If your hair doesn\u2019t show any of those changes, isn\u2019t dry nor rough, is still shiny, and with the usual texture, you can apply henna on it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you know that your hair can stand henna, it\u2019s time to see what happens with your color. <\/p>\n Now, it comes the most important part. How to select the henna color for your colored hair?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Henna is available in dark and intermediate colors: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your hair is colored blonde and you want it to stay blonde, don\u2019t use henna. Otherwise, your hair will end up orange or reddish. <\/span>\n There isn\u2019t any blonde, platinum, nor grey henna. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course, if your base color is blonde and you want to change to more coppery tones, the resulting color will be more intense.<\/p>\n So, you can apply henna on any base color. You only have to know that the henna has a cumulative effect, meaning that the more you apply it, the more intense the resulting color will be. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019ll even get red as a secondary color in shades like black and dark brown.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have you recently discovered henna\u2019s benefits, and you want to use it in your dyed hair? I\u2019ve two pieces of news for you. You\u2019re not the first one to discover henna as a natural element to color your hair.
