I was discussing with a friend about the harmful effects of colouring the hair with hair dyes available in the market, with chemicals in them. At the same time, I was also checking on the effectiveness of using henna to get a reddish tinge to the locks. Many a times, you may not get the required shade when the henna powder is of poor quality or when the mixing goes wrong. Then how to get the required reddish or burgundy shade?
She suggested the use of beetroot with henna to get an effective colour similar to that of burgundy. I was surprised!
I was not sure of its effectiveness when she told me. Trust me, it works wonders! I made a mixture of henna with beetroot juice and let it stay overnight. Next morning I applied the henna paste covering all the strands and allowed it to soak for three hours and washed my hair. The burgundy tinge was very evident and it gave a very satisfying result.
Isn't this an easy way to give a lovely burgundy tinge to your hair? Since all the ingredients are natural, what's the harm in trying it out?
