Surya Henna Powder is a henna based hair colouring powder that colours your hair semi permanently.

Formulated with 100% plant ingredients, it contains Henna (Lawsonia Inermis) as its main ingredient – a plant possessing a natural dye that has great affinity with the hair. In addition to coloring, Henna lawsone molecules coat damaged hair to restore damaged cuticles and leave the hair more sleek and smooth.

- It may be applied immediately after chemical processes (permanents, straighteners, relaxers, etc).
- It comes with a honey sachet. Honey nourishes the hair and leaves it more shiny, sleek and resilient.
- Because it is a semi-permanent hair coloring, it gradually washes out and does not stain.
- It is not tested on animals and contains no ingredients derived from animals.

In addition to coloring, Surya Henna Powder also moisturizes, revitalizes and nourishes the hair, promoting more shine, smoothness and resilience. It colors without breaking the hair keratin structure and coats each strand with a protective film.

What is Henna?
Henna is the Arabic name of the plant whose botanical name is Lawsonia Inermis. There are many stories about the origins of henna with its historical use noted in India, North Africa and various regions of the Middle East. References describe the use of henna in religious rites and festivals as far back as 9,000 years ago. Henna has historically been used to enhance beauty through use in skin drawings, colouring the hair and providing treatment to the scalp and to the strand of the hair.

Lawsone is a tannin that resides in the leaves of the henna plant when it has reached maturity. The leaves are collected, dried and triturated into a greenish powder. The chlorophyll in the leaves accounts for this hue. Lawsone's natural dye has an affinity to the hair. It has the unique property of binding to the keratin scales of the cuticle, allowing the tannins to migrate into the outer layers of the strand. It acts as a sealant to the damaged parts of the hair strands, making them more uniform, thus allowing the strands to better reflect light. Henna remains on the hair for a considerable period of time (several weeks), but because it does not penetrate into the cortex of the strand, it is considered temporary hair colour.

True Henna, Lawsonia Inermis, comes in only one colour, reddish brown. The shade or hue provided by the henna powder is determined by the age of the plant, growing region and the unique seasonal fingerprint that nature provides. The leaves from immature plants provide neutral henna, as the tannins are not yet present.

Besides being a natural dye, henna offers other benefits. Historically, the plant has also been used by indigenous cultures to strengthen hair, reduce dandruff and hair fall. It is considered astringent and tonifies and exfoliates the scalp. Henna can also be instrumental in correcting oily scalp conditions.

Henna or Lawsonia Inermis has been considered safe for use on the hair.
