In summer, our hair is subject to aggression from the sun, sea water, chlorine from the swimming pool and so on. Hair tends to get wet more often. They are therefore much more vulnerable and can break more easily. It is therefore very important to strengthen them before going on vacation. The solution ? Neutral henna treatment! A must to fortify your hair.

What is Neutral Henna?

Neutral henna does not color the hair, it is used for its other properties. It strengthens the hair fiber, brings volume, shine and suppleness. It is also given smoothing benefits since it coats the hair.

This Ayurvedic powder is ideal for soothing sensitive scalps, limiting itching and dandruff and regulating sebum secretion.

What is the difference between neutral Henna and natural Henna?

The neutral henna mask is a deep, non-coloring treatment. This is the main difference between natural henna and neutral henna. This powder allows you to benefit from all the advantages of henna without dyeing your hair.
