That shine has a name: Walnut

- 03/29/2019

Brown hair and natural brunettes looking to recover and care for their natural colour have a 100% natural ally in Walnut. It is a tree with a series of very interesting properties for caring for natural brown and brunette hair. At Henna Morena, you will find it as a natural cosmetic treatment, as well as in some of our natural dye formulas.

Walnut properties: colour and hair care

On the one hand, Walnut revives the natural tan and has a slight pigmenting capacity. This is because it is rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants with a pigmenting capacity on brown and brunette hair. However, Walnut alone does not completely cover grey hair, although prolonged use tends to darken the hair and disguise grey hair. 

On the other hand, Walnut has the ability to care for and repair hair:

- Helps prevent hair loss due to its high content of L-arginine, an amino acid that helps scalp circulation and strengthens the roots.

- Enhances hair shine.

Our products with Walnut

- Walnut: This is a powdered cosmetic treatment that takes care of your hair and enhances your natural brunette tone. If you want to enhance your natural colour and don't need to cover grey hair, we recommend this option. It will help you to achieve a very natural result, with more shine. Although it does not cover grey hair, its prolonged use darkens the hair, so if you're just starting to see grey hair, it's a very good option.

- Conditioner with Walnut and Sage: In addition to moisturising and sealing the cuticle, this conditioner protects and enhances the colour of dark hair thanks to Walnut extract and Sage. As a finish, it leaves hair with intense shine, detangles hair and gives a silky feel.  

- Walnut with Indigo: This is a natural dye formula for dyeing brown hair in a chocolate shade. In this case, it does pigment well as the preparation is mixed with Indigo and Henna, which are two other plants with a higher pigmenting capacity that combined give a beautiful chocolate tone. If you need to cover grey hair, this is the dye for you.
