Henna Hair – Made in Egypt

Henna — Lawsonia inermis — grows wild along the Nile, and Egyptians have ground its leaves into a fine, earthy powder since pharaonic times. Brides have adorned themselves with its russet stain for thousands of years, and its use as a hair treatment is just as ancient. El Hawag's henna continues that unbroken lineage, pure and simple.

Energetic profile: Cooling and grounding, with an earthy, protective calm. Henna carries the steady energy of the desert at dusk — patient, rooted, and quietly strengthening.

Traditional uses: Long prized as a natural way to color hair with rich coppery-red tones while conditioning at the same time. Also traditionally used for festive body art, where its stain is considered a symbol of joy and blessing.

How to use: Mix the powder with warm water into a smooth, yogurt-like paste. Apply to clean, damp hair, wrap, and leave for one to four hours depending on the depth of color desired, then rinse thoroughly. Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands, and strand-test first.
