Henna can be used beneficially as a treatment for falling of hair and other hair problems such as dandruff, premature greying and hair loss or patchy baldness. Mustard oil boiled with henna leaves promotes healthy growth of hair. The paste of henna leaves boiled in coconut oil to get darkish oil, can be used as a hair dye to blacken grey hair. The paste itself can be applied to the hair and washed off after a few hours to dye the grey hair.
Besides coloring the hair, it is a very good conditioner. Compared to other hair dye products, henna protects your hair and also adds beauty, body and bounce to the hair, leaving it supple, shiny and easy to manage.
Henna is also a good cleanser and does not destroy the acidic nature of the scalp. Its paste mixed with lemon juice, egg and yoghurt, is one of the best methods of cleaning and conditioning the hair. It also promotes hair growth and a healthy scalp and acts as an anti-dandruff agent.
