HENNA HAIR DYE AND HENNA PASTE

Henna has tannin in it and the tannin molecules bind into keratin (hair) molecules and make the fibers physically stronger, like winding threads together to make a stronger string. After you henna hair, it is softer, stronger, it tangles less, and the split ends disappear. Hennaing your hair is like coloring with a red-orange crayon on black paper, brown paper, or manila paper. Hennotannin molecules lodge into the keratin of your hair and those molecules are red-orange. The color of the paper shows through the crayon and the result is a blend of the two. Thus, every person's hair will come up differently with henna. The henna tannin molecules are red-orange, and stain pure white hair the same color of a ginger cat's red fur. On dark hair, these molecules catch the light in the sunshine, so hair will be somewhat reddened and will have glossy red highlights with henna. If your hair is blonde, henna may make it vibrant red or strawberry blonde.
If your hair is red, henna will restore vibrant red color and glossiness that you lose to age and sun damage.
If your hair is mousy brown, henna may make it rich red or copper penny red.
If your hair is medium brown, your hair may come up the color of an Irish Setter dog.
If your hair is dark brown, it will be deep chestnut with red highlights in the sunshine.
If your hair is black, it will be very dark chestnut with red highlights.
If your hair has gone all gray, henna may make it orange.
If your hair is brown streaked with grey, it may be rich auburn with red threads.
