Is the black henna Indigo? What are in the other colours? Thankyou, Lisa Lisa Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2005 4:53 PM   All hennas contain a dye substance called lawsone, which acts as a red dye on the hair keratin The longer the henna is left on the hair, the deeper the colour will be. A deeper colour may also be achieved by applying heat to the hair. Because henna bases have a reddish tinge, the resulting colour will have some red highlights. The extent of this will depend on the temperature used to apply the henna, the pH of the water used and the time that henna is left on the hair. Henna is a natural semi permanent dye and colour will fade over 2-3 months. It is not advised to use henna on chemically treated hair, including dyed bleached or permed. When used on partly grey hair an uneven effect may occur. JENNA Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2005 10:30 PM   Just wondering then how do you get henna in the six or seven different colours that are supplied.
