She's the kind of person who believes that if you’ve always taken the same path and stumbled over the same stone a thousand times… why keep going that way? Changing paths, even if it’s not easy, shifts your perspective and teaches you new things.

Which Henna Morena values resonate most with you and why?

What resonates most with me is their respect for nature and the body’s natural cycles. As an integrative health professional, I deeply value that Henna Morena is committed to clean ingredients, free of harsh chemicals, and promotes a ritualistic and conscious approach to hair care. It's a brand that not only nurtures your hair but also nourishes the emotional and symbolic aspects of self-care.

Do you have a special ritual with Henna products? Tell us how you experience that moment.

Yes, it’s one of my favorite moments of the week. I wash my hair twice a week, even though I work out every day, but I truly enjoy that time. I usually set aside some space on Sundays to apply the hair mask and do the full ritual: I prepare my post-workout fruit and protein smoothie, diffuse essential oils around the house to create a harmonious environment, and I take my self-care time very seriously. While applying the hair oil, washing my hair, and finishing with the hydrating serum, I fully immerse myself. It’s a moment of connection, without checking the clock—like a little ritual to honor my feminine energy and let my hair breathe too. The soul needs little pauses in life, and I think there’s no better excuse than this one.

What changes have you noticed in your hair since you became part of the Henna Morena universe?

My hair has always been thick and straight, strong even, but it used to lose its shine or feel heavy. Since using Henna Morena, I find it more balanced, with a beautiful natural shine, and overall more alive. But beyond the physical change, there’s an energetic transformation—I feel like I’m caring for it from the roots, with intention and respect.

Is there any trick, blend, or combo you love and would like to share with other women?

I love mixing sweet almond oil with a few drops of lavender essential oil and using it as an overnight hair mask before washing it the next day. Also, the Nettle Shampoo leaves my hair feeling super fresh and clean, and pairing it with the Walnut Conditioner—which has a scent that brings me peace—leaves my hair silky and shiny. I absolutely couldn’t go without those two.

If you had to describe Henna Morena to someone who doesn't know the brand, how would you do it in a few words?

Henna Morena is pure conscious beauty: a brand that honors the ancestral wisdom of plants, with a modern, elegant, and deeply respectful approach toward the body and the planet.

What’s the one product you always recommend, and why do you think people fall in love with it?

The Almond and Lavender Oil. It’s an all-in-one! I use it as a mask and to hydrate my body, either after a shower or before going to sleep. The lavender scent relaxes me so much. Definitely a 10/10 product, and everyone I recommend it to tells me the same—it’s a fabulous product with so many uses!

If you could only take one Henna Morena product to a desert island… which would you choose and how would you use it there?

I’d take the Silicon and Jojoba Hydrating Serum, no doubt. On an island, where sun, salt water, and wind can really affect your hair, it would be my lifesaver. I’d use it as a post-swim hydrator, a nighttime treatment, and even as a balm for my skin. It’s multipurpose, nourishing, and deeply therapeutic. And it fits in any bag, no matter how small.
