I belong to different hair care groups for African-American women who have decided to wear their natural hair texture and give up chemical processing (relaxers, man-made chemical dyes, and perms). One hair care treatment I see popping up a lot is the use of henna (Lawsonia inermis). While this treatment is popular, is it right for your natural, afro hair?
The Pros
Loosen Your Curl Pattern: I've found that many women use this natural dye as a way to texturize their hair. Meaning, some use it to loosen their natural curl pattern. Some have used the dye so often that their hair changed from tight coils to looser curls and waves.
Makes Hair Thicker: Those with fine hair like to use the dye to add thickness and strength to their hair. It binds to the hair adding thickness and fills in weak points adding strength. This is why some deep conditioners use it as a main ingredient.
Hair is Shinier and Bouncier: Many women have noticed their hair holds more shine after using the dye. Also, they see more bounce and movement where before their hair just did not move at all.
The Cons
Time Consuming and Messy: All dyes have the mess factor to contend with. However, this natural dye takes hours to develop. It needs to be left on anywhere between four to 12 hours and takes a while to rinse out.
Color Results Vary: There is no telling how your color may ultimately change, the natural form of the dye does not lighten hair but can darken hair or give hair anywhere between a copper to burgundy tone in natural light. Also, the hair color change is permanent. This means you have to grow it out to return to your natural color.
Dry Hair: This dye can make hair feel dry much like protein treatments can for some so follow immediately with a moisturizing conditioner and continue regular use of one. Preferably one without protein in it as the dye already is doing for hair what a protein treatment would do.
Loosens Curl Pattern: While this is one of the main reason a lot women use this natural dye. If you like your curls the way they are you may run the risk of altering your curl pattern, especially with frequent use.
Strong Odor: Some like it. Some don't. But be careful if you work in a fragrance-free environment as using the dye may put you in violation of company policy.
I've seen many women with Afro-textured hair who use henna on their hair often and look great. Natural curly-haired blogger, CurlyNiki is a self-proclaimed henna-head and her hair is full, shiny and healthy looking with no color change. If you want a peak at the process of using this natural dye check out this vlogger's experience with it on YouTube.
