About ZENZ henna The main component of ZENZ henna colour is dried and crushed leaves from the henna bush Lawsonia Inermis. Henna colour can vary from light orange to bright red and reddish brown. You can mix it with other plant parts to change the colour. The colour becomes more intense if the hair is kept moist and warm while the henna is in the hair. Heat also shortens the exposure time. All the hair will be dyed, but the lighter the hair is where you apply the colour, the redder the colour will be. Using henna to cover grey hair does not give remarkable results if the proportion of grey hair is higher than 30%. You can mix ZENZ henna with: • Green tea, which makes the bright colours less yellow or red and more natural. • Black tea, which enhances the brown pigments. • Black coffee, which deepens the colour. • Boiling water, which intensifies the colour. • Sour milk product (yogurt), which makes the reds lighter and more intense in the orange pigment. • ZENZ oil, which makes henna easier to apply and wash out again and prevents it from drying out while it is working in the hair. Be aware that colours called ’henna colour’ may be mixed with problematic dyes such as PPD and others. Therefore, always remember to check the ingredient list if you want to avoid harmful substances. Instructions for use 1. Wear gloves. 2. Mix ratio 1:3 (1 part henna + 3 parts boiling water, green or black tea, coffee or sour milk product). 3. With brush or hands, apply the henna abundantly and as hot as possible to clean and dry hair. Start at the ends and move towards the top. 4. Wrap the hair in clingfilm (plastic bag) and towel to keep it warm and moist. 5. Exposure time 25-90 minutes depending on the desired colour intensity. 6. Rinse the hair thoroughly and wash with shampoo. 7. For best result, rinse with Hair & Scalp Rinse no. 87 after hair wash and before conditioner. We recommend using ZENZ Organic haircare line, which is Nordic Swan ecolabelled and without silicone. Conditioner and treatment are also colour sealing. 151
