Did you know?
Discovered in 1916, the active coloring ingredient of henna is called lawsone. It reacts with keratin, the protein that makes the hair, providing a long-lasting dye that coats the entire hair shaft. Lawsone acts as a varnish, which explains why the result of a henna coloring depends on the hair color it’s applied on. Where chemical dyes tend to damage the hair by breaking into it, changing its natural color, henna and its coating effect help protect, condition and give a lot of shine.
