During the summer time, one of the questions that rookies to the henna and herbal hair colors world ask themselves is: in the sea or in the pool, does henna wash away because of salt air and chlorine, resulting in stains on the skin, the towels and on the bathing suit?
The video tutorials are in Italian, but English subtitles are available!
Obviously, I will talk to you about what my experience has been with the henna quality I’ve been using for the past eight years and that you can find in my online shop. Every herbal hair color is different and the quality makes the difference in the results we obtain on our hair.
Moreover, if you want to use red henna (lawsonia), remember that, very often, lawsonia may contain picramate. Picramate washes away a lot more than 100% pure red henna, and it also leaves stains. Hence, if you don’t wish to have unpleasant surprises and you don’t want your bathing suit to be stained, just make sure that the henna you’re buying is 100% pure.
In the tutorial above, I share with you some tips to prevent henna from washing off in the sea and to reduce the risk of leaving a colorful trail behind you :)
If, instead, you’re using protective hair oils, remember that oils are usually used to make henna wash away, hence a sun protective hair spray that contains vegetable or mineral oils, might facilitate the color release. But, most of all, remember to read the INCI names of your hair oil because many oils you can find on the market are silicone hair products, therefore made predominantly with silicones.
Moreover, silicone hair care products can not only damage our hair (it depends from person to person, as I explained in the blog post I mentioned before), but they can also interfere with herbal hair colors release, because silicones film the hair and lawsone, lawsonia’s dying molecule, has difficulties bonding with keratine.
Therefore should you decide to use silicone sun protective hair oils when you’re at the beach or at the pool… well, then now you know the reason why you can’t cover your gray hair perfectly or why the henna releaseon your hair isn’t satisfying enough…
Personally, as I said in the tutorial above, because of my hair type (fine, thin and oily), I prefer avoiding oily hair sprays, and I usually include in my hair care routine moisturizing hair sprays like Beautilicious Deligths’ natural anti-frizz and moisturizing hair spray made with aloe vera and fruit acids.
And, what about your experience with henna in the sea or in the pool? Did henna wash away in the water leaving a colorful trail behind you? Do you have any other tricks that could turn out useful for anyone reading this post?
I recently tried the Organic Red Henna and Indigo in a two step method to dye my resistant gray root regrowth. This was my fourth time doing henna and my most successful! The previous times with a store bought Bio brand I only achieved colors from light brown to cooper when I wanted a deep black. I was starting to despair thinking I just couldn’t do it so I’m super happy that this time it worked! The products definitely felt superior in texture and the mixing and dye release was easy. I also found the blog and videos helpful. Thank you!
This is the best natural Henna and indigo to colour my hair.
I used to buy other henna products on the net but i had bad alergic reaction after using those products.
Thanks Beautylicious .
I never had an allergic reaction to this henna and indigo.I used
Some other henna products on the net and my scalp was sore for months.So I 'll keep buying Beautylicious products
Thanks a lot
I have been using it for a year or more. It is great, specially if you have problems with hair loss. I only use these natural herbal color treatment for my hair.
I tried many different organic hennas before and they never covered my gray hairs. I followed your video advice and henna recipe to make dark chestnut brown. The colour is beautiful and I couldn’t be happier. My gray hairs are light golden brown but since this is my first application with your henna I hope they will darken with more henna applications. Thank you so much 😊
These products exceed my expectations. I used a combination of natural, red henna and indigo and the results were amazing. I got my desire colour the second time that I applied the product, following the website video indications. Highly recommended. I have been using henna for more than 20 years and this is the best product I have come across. My only complaint is that the company needs to offer bigger packaging sizes.
I was intimidated at first to use the Natural Hair Color Cosmos Organic but after watching your video I jumped right in and did it. I am so very happy with the results and no allergic reaction. Thank you Thank you
Very good product. I mixed it with indigo I buy from this site and lawsonia I buy from a Moroccan shop. I haven't been able to get the exact colour I want from the mixture, nevertheless I know I will with some more trials. I'd like to thank Rozalia for her help with the video tutorials, they are so useful,clear and honest!!
I have been mixing cassia with henna and indigo to make gray hair brown for four years now. My hair is stronger and healthier than it has been since my teen years. I really think that it is attributed to this product line for hair color.
I have been mixing this henna with indigo and cassia to achieve great gray coverage for almost four years. My hair is healthier than it has ever been. I learned how to mix and use it on Beautilicious Delights you tube channel and blog. So grateful for the products and the information. 💕

But, most of all, remember to read the INCI names of your hair oil because many oils you can find on the market are silicone hair products, therefore made predominantly with silicones.
But I talked deeply about silicones and about their pros and cons in the article about the presence of silicones in our hair care products.
Moreover, silicone hair care products can not only damage our hair (it depends from person to person, as I explained in the blog post I mentioned before), but they can also interfere with herbal hair colors release, because silicones film the hair and lawsone, lawsonia’s dying molecule, has difficulties bonding with keratine.
