Indian henna black 100g (black) – Elfarm

Elfa Pharm INDIAN HENNA Black 100 g is a plant-based hair colouring powder chosen by people who want a deeper, darker shade without relying on standard oxidative dyes. Henna colours the hair by coating the shaft with plant pigment, which can also make the hair look denser, smoother and more light-reflective after rinsing. Many people reach for this type of colourant when they want to refresh their tone, add visual fullness or give the hair a more polished look.

How it works

The key ingredient here is Lawsonia inermis, the henna plant. When mixed with hot water, its natural colouring molecules are released and bind to the outer layer of the hair. Unlike conventional dye systems that work through stronger chemical reactions inside the hair fibre, henna mainly creates a visible tint and a conditioning film around the strand. That is why hair often feels a little thicker and looks shinier after use. The final result can vary depending on your starting colour, porosity and previous colouring history, so the same powder may appear slightly different from one person to another.

Henna has a long tradition of use in hair and body decoration across India, the Middle East and North Africa. Its appeal is not only colour, but also the way it can improve the appearance of the hair surface.

When people choose it

A black henna-style shade is often chosen by those who want a richer brunette-to-dark effect. This herbal hair dye suits people who:

• want to revive faded lengths or make grey strands less noticeable in the overall look;
• prefer a simpler colouring option and are comfortable with a more natural-looking, less perfectly uniform result;
• want to refresh dark tones between salon visits;
• would like to experiment with botanical hair colour for the first time.

Important notes

• As with all henna-based products, do a strand test first, especially on light, bleached, porous or chemically processed hair, because the final shade and intensity can differ.
• Avoid use if the scalp is irritated.
• Keep in mind that plant colour can be stubborn to remove or recolour immediately afterward.
