Light Mountain Natural Hair Color and Conditioner

(c) Phylameana lila Desy
Henna is powder made from dried leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant. The Lawsonia inermis shrub is also called Mehendi or henna plant. Henna powder is used to create a moist pasty dye that can be used in body art (temporary tattoos) and also for coloring your hair naturally without toxic chemicals such as ammonia or peroxide.

In this natural hair coloring tutorial the henna product used is Light Mountain Natural's hair color & conditioner for light brown hair. Inside the box is a four ounce packet of 100 percent pure botanical hair color, a blend of certified organically grown Lawsonia inermis leaf powder and Indigoferae tinctoria leaf powder. Detailed instructions for sensitivity testing, strand testing, and application are included, as well as a pair of plastic gloves and cap. Light Mountain Natural offers a range of hair coloring shades to choose from including neutral, reds, browns, and gray, and black.
