The organic alternative for coloring or highlighting, instantly improving your hair.
The wonderful world of henna
Dyeing plants are truly natural hair dyes, powdered from the leaves, roots, and bark of plants that contain the dyeing pigment. In addition to coloring and covering gray hair, they leave hair soft and shiny. Unlike chemical dyes, they don't penetrate the hair, but coat it, forming a protective sheath that thickens and strengthens it, thus preventing split ends.
The queen of dyeing plants is Lawsonia, commonly known as Henna.
From its powdered leaves we obtain its pigment which gives an orange colour to white hair, and with the right skills, it can be modified with other plant pigments to obtain the desired colour.
Henna hair coloring is an ancient practice still in vogue today as a natural hair dye.
The known pulverization
like henna
The powder known as henna actually has several variations. The traditional recipe is for light red henna, derived from Lawsonia inermis, a plant known since ancient times for its dyeing properties. This plant yields a green powder with a strong, clay-like odor. It coats the hair with a thin protective film that not only colors the shaft but also protects it from smog, making it stronger and more resistant. The name "henna" comes from the Arabic language, but the term Lawsonia, which refers to the plant, comes from the English physician John Lawson, who identified it in 1709.
Which henna to choose?
First, you need to analyze your hair's natural color and the percentage of gray hair. If your hair exceeds 10-20% gray hair color and you want a color other than the intense copper that Lawsonia naturally releases, to achieve a light brown or blonde, we recommend the exclusive double-step treatment, Accademia by Phitofilos, which guarantees coverage and the desired shade.
Our expertise in dyeing plants evolves thanks to the use of new, high-performance blends that allow us to achieve intense and stable color results.
They are born from a natural evolution of the classic double step: they are blends composed of carefully selected plants to achieve not only the desired tone level, but also the desired reflection.
But in addition to covering gray hair, for those who need it, plants offer multiple solutions for highlighting and, to regenerate the hair, through targeted Ayurvedic services such as Sharazade and Gloss.
