Henna Recommendations

Using her many years of experience as a hairdresser, she also works as a henna dyeing instructor.
Why not try dyeing or treating your gray hair with henna, which is kind to both people and the earth?
Commercially available and hair dyes used by hairdressers contain a carcinogenic substance called diamine. Its percutaneous absorption through the scalp is 3.5 times higher than that of the inside of the arm!
These harmful substances are absorbed into the body as percutaneous toxins each time.
Henna is made by crushing the leaves and stems of the Lythraceae plant. It is 100% natural and dyes gray hair beautifully.
There is also henna that has a treatment effect that does not color the hair, so it is recommended for those who do not want to change the color.
♢Characteristics of Henna♢
♦Does not contain harmful diamines or chemical dyes, so you can dye your hair with peace of mind
♦In the Indian Ayurvedic medicine, it is used as a medicinal herb to treat atopic dermatitis and uterine problems.
♦Treatment effect makes hair shiny
♦Great for relaxation! It regulates the autonomic nervous system, so it is also good for insomnia and stress.
♦You can dye your gray hair at a cheaper price than at a beauty salon (you can also dye it to a color close to your natural hair color)
♦In addition to the orange and red colors characteristic of henna, it can also dye hair brown and dark brown.
We will teach you how to apply henna yourself, either in person or via Zoom.
If you are using henna for the first time, please apply as we will first perform a patch test before giving you any instructions.
About percutaneous toxins
The rate of percutaneous absorption varies depending on the location. If the absorption rate of the arm is 1, the data shows that the soles of the feet are 0.14, the palms of the hands 0.83, the back 1.7, the head 3.5, the armpits 3.7, the forehead 6.0, the cheeks 13.0, the male scrotum 42.0, and the female genitals 50.0. Of particular note is the genitals, which boast a remarkably high absorption rate.
What about hair dyes and perm solutions that don't get on the skin? The scalp is also skin, and absorbs 3.5 times more than the arms. There are many hairdressers who continue to work in hair salons covered in chemicals, even though they suffer from chronic rough hands and poor health. I was one of them.
Even if your clothes are dry, sweat can cause them to dissolve and be absorbed through the skin. Underwear is something you should be especially careful about, as it comes into direct contact with your skin.
The chemicals contained in common hair dyes are more dangerous than you might imagine, and some are said to be 140 times more toxic than pesticides. In particular, these toxins have a direct effect on a woman's uterus.
Toxins that enter the body through the mouth are easily excreted through feces and urine, but toxins absorbed through the skin or scalp go directly to the subcutaneous tissue or liver, so people who do not sweat or have a weakened skin barrier function should be careful.
In particular, you need to be careful because the diamine used in hair dyes contains carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting substances.
