Wise She New Year Mega Mega NYX International Giveaway Entry 5
Hello all!
Hope you all are doing fine there 
Shanaz Henna was my first try in Shahnaz ayurvedic products.I had been using heena since I was 17 as hair pack and use to add all the different ingredients into it.Now after turning 21 my splurging has started and I wanted to try some interesting brand rather than preparing the heena mix all by myself. Also to excuse myself from boredom of using same thing again and again I bought Shahnax precious heena herb mix.
What Shahnaz Husain product Says
A powerful blend of henna and other herbs to condition and strengthen the hair. Helps to control problems like dandruff and hair loos, providing color and sheen, while restoring beauty and health of hair.
- Directions:-Mix the desired quantity of heena with warm water into a thick paste.Apply after 30 minutes. For conditioning, keep on for 30 minutes and for color keep for 2-3 hrs. For better effect keep overnight.
- Ingredients:-Amla 1.0%, Neem 1.50%, Shikakai 2%, babul gond 1.0%, 93% base q.s. to make it 100%.
- Price:- 85 for 1 pack(100 gms) but i got it on offer of buy 2 get 1 free.
My way of using heena and my experience:-
Like always , I mixed the following ingredients whichI I used to mix in plain henna earlier.
- 1 tspcurry leaves juice
- 1 lemon
- 2-3 tbsp of curd
- 1 tsp neem powder
- 1 tbsp of mustard oil / 2 egg yolks.
- Black tea water (Cool without sugar or anything in it)
- Iron kadai/Pan/Iron vessel to mix and
After adding all these things I keep the mixture overnight and try to get nice flowy consistency.Next morning I apply the paste for two hours after shampooing my hair.After washing off the heena I don’t use any kind of shampoo and when my hair gets dry I massage aloe vera oil and next day I shampoo and condition my hair.
Although its a bit lengthy and messy process results are splendid.It has no synthetic smell whatsoever. A worth buying product which will last for two uses for medium length hair.It is 100%natural herbal conditioner to make your hair strong, shiny and tangle free and at the same time it gives a nice browny tint to my hair.
Some points to notice if you are using it for coloring:-
- To achieve golden highlights, mix haldi(Turmeric) in heena before applying.
- To obtain a burgundy tint mix it in beetroot juice instead of tea water.
- To get jet black shine mix thrice the qty of curry juice stated above + 2tsp of amla powder.
- To avoid headaches during winter usage, add 2-3 drops of clove oil in it.
Overall a decent buy for all hair types and budgets.Can be used every 15 days to treat scalp and hair

yup i use to heena my hair so so often …and my hair had no problems at all but now i for my hair coloured.
Shivani..does this dry out your hair?
Jewel i think if one apply oil to hair and then shmpoo after washing off the heena then drying problem gets reduced.
its such a long process!
thnx Ana…I have applied henna only once after which I had caught a severe cold which dint leave me for days together..never dared to apply again..but Shivani is tempting me
this happens with my mom also..heena can react on few people though its completely herbal.anything can react on any one for example Zee is allergic to aloevera.
How to add golden/burgandy tint is new for me … very informative
.. I wish I can follow it religiously 
I am too lazy

Whoa….. nice tips shivani
one small tip – can se you have very dry hair – do not let the heena dry on your hair. :nono:
Cover your hair with a shower cap and wash after 3-4 hours depending on your need. The heena will wash off easily and you will feel the difference

Thanks Shivani… does this cover grey hair? My mum uses colour as of now but colouring gives her some side-effects like hairfall… This could be a better option but wouldn’t be worth if it doesn’t cover grey hair for her
