Organically grown in Rajasthan

This high-quality organic henna powder comes from certified organic farms in the Rajasthan region of India. We work with an Indian supplier who is an expert in growing henna in this region, where the hot, arid climate for most of the year is particularly favourable to the Lawsonia inermis plant.

His family business grows henna on its own farms and also has a plant processing unit (sorting, drying, spraying…), controlling the entire production chain to guarantee the high quality of the product and the absence of any adulterants.

With his passion for medicinal and dye plants and his concern for the environment as well as human health, organic cultivation was an obvious choice for him, and it was only natural that he decided to take the step of certifying his farms and processing units, which requires unfailing traceability and regular checks. The henna plants are grown in open fields without pesticides. The farms are energy self-sufficient, powered by solar panels, and the soil is fertilised naturally with plant waste (unused plant parts). After harvesting, the leaves are dried in thin layers in overhead solar dryers, designed for rapid drying, thus avoiding the development of bacteria and mould that could occur if the plant were left wet for a long time.

A state-of-the-art production unit

Our supplier has also recently invested in a high-tech processing unit that complies with the highest standards of good practice and cleanliness (FDA-compliant), with constantly monitored air quality and temperature. Strict procedures are in place for the entire process, from plant cultivation to the finished product. The facility is also powered by solar panels.

The henna leaves are sorted by hand and double-checked to remove any unwanted or soiled parts. The leaves are then ground into an extra-fine powder, guaranteeing easy preparation of the paste, pleasant application and optimum colouring power. This pulverisation is carried out in a special grinder with a cooling system, to prevent the plant from heating up during grinding. This guarantees a high content of lawsone, the natural henna pigment that degrades when heated, and therefore a powerful colouring power.

High-purity henna

This organic henna from Rajasthan is guaranteed to be 100% pure plant, with no additives, and is also 100% certified organic, which is extremely rare for a henna. Finally, heavy metal and pesticide analyses are carried out on each batch to check that there are no undesirable contaminants.

An ethical supply chain

This supply chain is also of high ethical quality, with all the supplier's employees receiving a decent wage, social protection and health cover for themselves and their families, and regular training. The employment of people with disabilities is also encouraged and made possible by appropriate training for people who would otherwise live on the fringes of society.

Making the colouring paste

Step 1

Apply the paste to your hair immediately, following the instructions below.

Preliminary advice

Do a trial on hair collected from your brush, wait 24 hours to see the final result.
Wear gloves to protect your hands (henna stains).
To avoid staining the skin around the ears and scalp, apply a little oil or rich cream, which will prevent the pigments from setting on the skin. And clean up any henna spills thoroughly.
Avoid using metal utensils to make your paste.
Protect your clothes (especially the shoulders) with an old t-shirt, for example.
Apply a thick layer: the thicker the henna, the richer and deeper the colour.
After applying the paste, wrap the hair in cling film to keep it warm and comfortable. The henna paste should remain moist throughout the application.
The longer you leave the paste on, the more intense the result.
As our henna is 100% natural, there is no risk of a chemical reaction with treatments (colouring, perming, straightening, etc.). However, henna coats the hair and can reduce or modify the hold of chemical colourings, making the resulting colour more difficult to predict. Waiting at least 4-6 weeks after a henna treatment before colouring or chemically treating the hair is advisable.
In addition, do not bleach after a henna treatment, as chemical bleaching will remove the hair's natural pigments, but not those of the henna, leaving sometimes unexpected colours.
It is possible to colour with henna after a chemical colouring or treatment, but coloured hair is often porous, so the results may be different. It is advisable to wait at least 4-6 weeks and always carry out a test beforehand.
In particular, using henna on bleached hair can give more intense colours, so always do a test beforehand to check that it's right for you.

Tips for long-lasting colour

Use a basic lotion (3g of bicarbonate of soda in 100 ml of water) to open the scales of your hair and encourage the colour to penetrate deep into the hair fibre.
Apply this lotion to dry hair before applying the henna, leave for 30 minutes and then rinse with clean water.
Then apply your henna, following the advice below.
Use an acid solution (water with vinegar or lemon juice) when rinsing your henna to close the hair scales, which is essential as a last step.

Application of colour paste

Application of the coloring paste

Step 1

Comb through clean, dry hair and divide into two sections. You can use a piping bag, bottle, brush or your fingers (while wearing gloves).

Step 2

Start at the back of the head, applying the henna strand by strand and working it through to the scalp.

Step 3

Continue with the top of the head, applying in thick layers, working in strands.

Step 4

Massage to ensure all the hair is well covered and pull it into a bun.

Step 5

Clean the area around your face and ears, then wrap your hair in stretch film. Leave on for 1-3 hours, depending on the intensity you want, then rinse thoroughly.
