HENNA for Hair Growth

As we know Henna is being traditionally used during the weddings and auspicious occasions to create beautiful patterns on hand. It is symbolic of a married woman’s wedded bliss, a girl’s happiness and festivity in Indian traditions. Apart from this Henna has number of benefits for our hairs. In past henna was mostly used by people with grey hair to colour their hair, but now henna is being used to nourish hair, to condition them, leaving you with lustrous and shiny hair.

    Henna has been proved to be the best alternative to chemical based hair dyes, hair creams, or gels as these products contain many chemical agents which led to scalp allergy, dry and brittle hair and cancer in some cases. People now instead of these chemical based products prefer henna as it is beneficial in many ways. Being economical and poor friendly might be the first and foremost reason that it is being widely used. It can be easily applied at home. Home-based henna paste can be made by plucking henna leaves, grinding them into a fine paste and then applying on hair. However, nowadays  herbal henna based creams with easy to apply applicators are freely available in the market.

Henna acts as a natural conditioner and provides Vitamin E and tannin that softens the hair, naturally and helps your hair to grow and also ensures thicker, lustrous hair. Henna leaves are rich in protein and antioxidants that make the roots stronger by nourishing the scalp. It balances the pH of the scalp and calms down the overactive sebaceous glands that produce oil in the hair. Thus it also helps oily scalp in controlling the oil. Henna has antifungal, antidermatophytic and antimicrobial properties that reduces the irritation of scalp and helps in prevention of dandruff.
