Henna Routine

Henna color starts before you apply it, and is protected after.

In my salon, henna is never a single step. I chose three products to go with your color: one prepares the hair, one makes the processing time more pleasant, one seals in the tone.

The signs

Has this ever happened to you?

  • The color doesn't take evenly

    Product and styling residue on the hair fiber acts as a barrier: the herbs bind where they find clean hair and leave lighter patches.

  • The tone fades after a few washes

    If the cuticles stay open after processing, the color loses its shine faster.

  • The smell of the herbs bothers you

    Herbal dyes have a strong, earthy scent. Not everyone loves it, and the processing time seems to drag on forever.

  • You don't know what to expect after processing

    Right after rinsing, the color isn't final yet: over the next 48 hours it develops and settles.

In practice

Here's how I use it

  1. Pre-Treatment Shampoo

    Before coloring

    The Pre-Treatment Shampoo

    Wash your hair before applying the mix, massaging your scalp well, then gently pat it dry. The less residue left on the hair fiber, the more evenly the color binds, from roots to ends.

  2. Perfume Powder

    In the mix

    The Perfume Powder

    A pinch in the mix turns the processing time into a pleasant moment, without changing the color result. After styling, I also use it dissolved in a little warm water on the lengths: a trail of sandalwood and rose that lasts all day.

  3. Color-Fixing Conditioner

    After rinsing

    The Color-Fixing Conditioner

    It's the last step of the color, the one that seals it in. Apply it only to lengths and ends, never to the scalp, after patting your hair dry. Leave it on for a few minutes and rinse with lukewarm water, finishing with a cooler stream.

Henna is not part of the routine: you choose it based on your hair. You'll find every shade in Henna; if you're not sure which one is right for you, I'll recommend it.

Questions

The ones I'm asked most often

Is henna included in the routine?

No. The routine includes the three products that go with your color. You choose the henna from the shades in the collection, or I can recommend it with a free consultation.

Does the Perfume Powder change the color?

No. It makes the scent of the mix more pleasant during processing, without changing the result. While measuring it, avoid breathing in the powder.

When can I wash my hair after coloring?

Wait 48 hours. Over these two days the herbal color develops and settles: judge it only after the first shampoo.

Do I need to do a patch test every time?

Yes, before every application, even if you've used the product before: a small amount of the mix behind the ear or in the crook of the elbow, then wait 48 hours. If you notice redness, itching or burning, don't use it.

Not sure where to start?
