Hello everyone, my name is Sheena, better known as 'Sheena
The Henna Queen'. I've been using Henna
on my hair for over a year now, and I have to tell you, I love it! I will never
go back to chemical dyes again.. The all natural benefits are amazing, and
believe me, you're going to love all the body Henna gives your hair. Here are
some questions I get when telling people about Henna. I will do a video on
these questions soon, but for those of you who like the book better then the
movie, here it is!
What exactly is Henna?
Why do you use Henna on your hair?
Isn't Henna supposed to be for your body?
What products do you like the best, and why?
1. What is Henna? Henna (Lawsonia Inermis) is a woody shrub that thrives in
hot and arid climates. The henna plant produces extremely fragrant and delicate
flowers, which have been used in perfumes since ancient times. The leaves of
the henna plant are harvested, dried, and then ground into a fine powder. This
lovely silken green powder is made into a paste and can be used as body art, or
to dye hair, and nails.

2. Why do I use Henna on my hair? Let's start off with
saying I have natural dark blonde hair. However I've always loved red hair, so I started dying it
red with chemical dyes for many many years. If any of you have ever dyed your
hair red with chemical dyes, you know how hard it is to maintain. I was
spending a lot of money to keep my red hair looking nice. One day while in the
shower after dying my hair with the chemical dye, chunks of hair started coming
out of my head. Every time I ran my hands through my hair, I'd have a hand full
of hair! Needless to say I was a bit freaked out. So after that experience, I
started to do my research on more natural hair dyes. That is when I found
Henna. Because I wanted red hair Henna was a perfect match for me because 100% Henna
always dyes red. It has all natural benefits. Keeps my hair looking natural,
and has very little upkeep because Henna sticks to the follicles of your hair. It
will fade over time, but not like chemical dyes. Henna gives my hair more body,
and keeps it looking it's best. I love all that comes along with using Henna! There
are no negatives really, except for the mess it makes when applying :).
3. Isn't Henna used for body art? The answer is yes. Henna
is used widely around the world as body art. It gives you a tattoo without the
pain of a needle, and after a few weeks the tattoo will actually go away. I am
not a Henna art expert, but I do hope to do some videos for you all on me
giving myself a henna tattoo. Because Henna is a plant with the ability to dye
skin, it can also be used to dye hair, or nails. There are different things you
can add to Henna to change the color. Red is just 100% all natural henna with
nothing added. You can make the color more vibrant by adding things like lemon
juice, or red wine vinegar, but even without that, you'll still get a beautiful
red color. You can add indigo to make it
darker, and salt to hold in the brown colors. There is a lot of combinations you
can add to get your desired look. Which brings me to the last question.
4. What products do I like best and why? Well being that I
have been using Henna for a long time, I've tried many different brands 'all
body art quality henna'. Instead of
going through all the ones I did not like, I'd rather tell you about the winner
and the only Henna product I use on my hair now. The reason is because this
brand mixes all the colors for you. So if I want a darker red, I don't have to
play around and experiment with different ingredients to get the right combo.
They have already done it for me. The
winner of my Henna challenge is Henna King. By far the best Henna products on the market. Their
products are easy to mix, go on hair so much smoother than other brands, and
the Henna is very fresh. You can see and smell the difference. Their Henna
comes out looking good every time I've used it, and I won't use any other Henna
product on my hair. I currently use
Henna Maiden Natural Red by Henna King. After using so many others, Henna
Maiden made my hair brighter, and I loved how much easier it was to mix and
apply.
If you have any Henna question or want to know more about
where to get your Henna King products message me.
Stay tuned for the video response to these questions, and watch
for more updates!
