Highlighting or dyeing your hair might seem like a recent trend. However, colouring hair is an ancient practice. Centuries back, people used plant-based dyes like Henna and Indigo to dye their hair. Henna is the most popular natural dye in the world as it strengthens, deeply conditions, and nourishes the hair from within.
As per Healthline, Dr. Khushboo Garodia, a certified Trichologist said, “Henna has antifungal properties, which make it beneficial for those with dandruff and hair-fall related issues, as well as other microbial problems.”
