How does the henna base in this shampoo benefit my colour‑treated hair?

The henna base is a natural plant extract that adheres to the outer surface of the hair shaft. By forming a thin coating, it helps the cuticle lie flatter, which reduces light scattering and makes the hair appear smoother and shinier. This coating effect also gives the strands a lighter feel, lessening the coarse texture that often follows bleaching or dyeing. In addition to the henna, the formula includes phyto‑keratin and collagen, which create a lightweight film that reinforces weakened areas of the shaft. Panthenol (pro‑vitamin B5) binds moisture to the hair, improving flexibility and reducing the tendency to snap when the hair is stiff after colouring. Cocoyl hydrolysed silk adds slip and softness, making detangling easier and leaving a polished look. Together, these ingredients work during the short contact time of a wash to give colour‑treated hair a smoother, more resilient feel while maintaining its natural luster. For best results, follow with a conditioner or mask that targets damaged lengths, as the shampoo’s primary role is cleansing and conditioning the surface rather than deep repair. If you have a very sensitive scalp or react to fragranced products, use the shampoo sparingly and discontinue if irritation occurs.
