🌱 The History of Natural Hair Dyeing with Henna & Indigo
The tradition of colouring hair with Henna (Lawsonia Inermis) dates back over 5,000 years, used in Egypt, India, and the Middle East for beauty rituals and scalp health. Henna naturally imparts a reddish hue and conditions the hair.
Indigo (Indigofera Tinctoria), derived from the leaves of the indigo plant, was later blended with Henna to achieve darker tones—ranging from rich browns to deep blacks.
Together, Henna + Indigo create a powerful plant-based duo that:
🌿 Enhances colour without damaging hair follicles
🍂 Strengthens and nourishes the beard or hair shaft
✅ Provides a buildable, natural-looking finish
🔬 The Dangers of PPD and Ammonia in Conventional Hair Dyes
Many mainstream dyes rely on Para-Phenylenediamine (PPD) and Ammonia—chemicals known to cause:
❌ Allergic reactions (itching, burning, swelling)
❌ Respiratory issues and long-term sensitivity
❌ Skin blistering in extreme cases
