Our red henna, which is a blend of henna leaf, rhubarb and other herbs, will produce varying degrees of auburn depending on your natural shade. One of the most frequently asked questions we get regarding our henna powder is why does it contain other herb ingredients. Pure henna (100% lawsonia inermis) creates a slightly red color. Small amounts of different herbs are blended with lawsonia to get different henna colors like black, blond, chestnut etc. Henna is a small tree native to tropical areas of Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Asia. When introduced to an acidic liquid, dried and powdered henna leaf yields a stain that has been used as hair dye for more than 5,000 years. Unlike chemical dyes, henna coats the hair shaft with a protein called hennatannic acid. The result is subtle and semi-permanent color that fades in a few weeks.
