Mehndi has been considered a safe and natural alternative to paint hair for centuries. With its use, the hair not only gives beautiful red-brown color, as well as the effect of conditioning in the hair. Especially when there is a fear of side effects of chemical colors, people choose mehndi. But do you know that applying henna again and again can cause hair harm in many ways?

Yes, despite being natural, applying continuous or excessive amounts of henna can affect the health of hair. Let us know that if you are also applying henna in your hair again and again, then what you should take care of and what side effects can it be.

Hair dryness and brittleness

Applying too much mehndi causes the natural oil of hair to end, which makes the hair dry and lifeless.

• Mehndi contains elements called tannins that absorb moisture from the hair.
• Initially hair can look shiny and smooth, but continuous use loses hair moisture.
• As a result, the hair becomes split, brittle and broken.

What to do: If you want to apply mehndi, add some coconut or olive oil to it so that moisturizes.

Changes in hair texture

This is a major threat to those who keep silky and smooth hair naturally.

• Repeatedly applying henna freezes a layer on the surface of the hair, making the hair heavy and rough.
• Natural texture of hair can change, especially if you are fine or straight hair.
• Over time, that tenderness and flexibility in the hair can end.

What to do: If there is a change in the texture, then keep a long gap between applying henna and do deep conditioning.

Hair loss and thinness

It is a common misunderstanding that mehndi strengthens hair.

• Excessive use eliminates the moisture of the scalp, which weakens the roots of the hair.
• This causes hair fall and gradually reduce hair volume.
• Hair starts to look thin, weak and lifeless.

What to do: Massage oil once a week and take hair nourishing diet.

Allergy and scalp irritation

Even though the mehndi is natural, it does not suit everyone's skin type.

• Some people may have allergies, itching, burning and redness from mehndi.
• Continuous use can also cause problems like contact dermatitis.
• Those with sensitive scalp should do the patch test before using it.

What to do: Be sure to do a small patch test every time before applying a new paste and if there is irritation in the scalp, wash it immediately.

The second color becomes difficult to climb

This is a side effect that people often ignore.

• Applying henna repeatedly creates a thick layer on the hair.
• Due to this layer, if you ever want to apply synthetic hair color, the color can look unequal, green or orange.
• Many times it becomes so difficult to remove the color that it seems impossible to color the hair again.

What to do: If you want to use any other hair color in future, then use mehndi very limited and thoughtfully.
