Henna is a natural plant-based alternative to chemical hair colorings. Rainbow chooses only the finest grade Henna from small shrubs (Lawsonia), that are native to the Middle East, West Asia, and North Africa. The Leaves are dried and pulverized to a fine powder. Rainbow Henna coats each hair shaft with color. Smoothes and seals the hair's cuticle for greater shine. Texturizes hair and gives it body.
