✨ Many people want shiny jet-black hair instantly — but beware of products sold as “Black Henna”. Not all are natural. Let’s break it down 👇
✅ Natural Henna & Indigo (Safe Choice)
-
Henna → gives reddish-orange base.
-
Indigo → gives blue dye that bonds with henna, creating rich brown to black shades.
-
100% plant-based 🌱, no chemicals.
-
Nourishes, strengthens, and adds shine.
-
Needs a 2-step process (henna first, then indigo) for true jet-black.
❌ Black Henna (Synthetic Shortcut)
Often contains harmful chemical additives:
-
PPD (Para-Phenylenediamine): gives quick black color but causes severe allergies, blisters, even permanent sensitivity.
-
Metallic salts (lead, copper, bismuth): coat the hair, making it brittle and unsafe for future coloring.
-
Sodium Picramate: synthetic booster added to “herbal hennas.”
💀 Result: Fast black stain, but risk of hair damage + health problems.
🌟 Why Choose Natural?

Long-lasting color (safe black/brown).
-
Improves hair health with every use.
-
100% safe for sensitive scalps.
