The Henna coloring powder is obtained from the dried leaves of Lawsonia Inermis, a plant used for millennia for ritual, decorative and dyeing purposes. Its Red Dye power is due to the presence of glycosides which release a yellowish pigment, reddish to the air, and which, if present in different percentages, can give different shades to henna-based colors. This molecule is the Lawsone, and binds to keratin, the protein of the hair: henna, therefore, does not penetrate the hair like chemical shades, but binds to its scales, in this way, not only protects the hair, but it is volumized by increasing the diameter of the stem. The foliage is more voluminous, luminous and protected from external agents. Henna is also a powerful sebum-normalizing and anti-dandruff.
