As modern medicine became widely practiced, many ancient medical practices have lost their significance; Ayurveda is one of them. When it comes to beauty therapy, Ayurveda has a lot to offer. It has contributed a lot of medicinal plants to the beauty cosmetics industry. Henna is one such plant. Henna is used as a hair dye in many cultures, but now we know that it has many more benefits than that.
Here are five combinations of Henna for various hair problems. The main advantage is that it is possible to use at the comfort of our home without the need for a beauty therapist
1. Henna as a dye.
Henna is used for this purpose from the time of early Egyptian rulers. Henna is mixed with various other natural dyeing substances like indigo, beetroot, or coffee powder to achieve different shades. For brunette hair, mix four tablespoon henna with freshly brewed strong coffee. Make sure it forms a thick paste without any lumps. Let it rest for 3 to 4 hours before washing it off.
2. Henna for Hair Fall
It is a less popular but highly effective practice. It adjusts hair pH and nurtures hair follicles, thus promoting hair growth and reducing hair fall. Take equal amounts of Multani mitti and henna powder and mix it to make a thick paste without forming any lumps by adding enough water. Now apply it before sleep and wash off in the morning. It helps you to relax and improve your sleep quality.
3. Henna for Hair Growth
Are you suffering from low hair growth?. Henna helps you to make your hair thick. Add four tablespoon amla powder, two tablespoon henna powder, one egg white, and one tablespoon fenugreek powder. You can also add lemon juice if you are suffering from dandruff. Keep the mixture aside for an hour. Apply it to your hair for an hour. For better results, repeat this treatment once a week.
4. Henna for frizzy hair
Henna can help you relieve frizzy hair. Add four tablespoon henna powder, one egg white into a cup of yogurt and allow it to rest for half an hour. Now apply it in your head and leave it for 30 minutes. Now wash it away to say goodbye to your frizzy hair.
5. Henna for eyebrows
It is a very effective method to get smooth, lush eyebrows. The problem is that this method requires proper training and accessory for correct execution. Don't worry! Many beauty therapy training centers like ACBT offer a single day workshop to teach you to be an expert in Henna brow. After getting trained, you can practice it at home. Maybe you can help your friends too.
It is an ancient Ayurvedic belief that nature has given us a natural cure for all our problems. Before thinking of going behind the chemical option, consider natural alternatives that have no side effects. It is always better to do things without any inverse effects, and the comfort doubles when you do it yourselves at a convenient time.
