The Henna Morena Method is a structured and organized guide to help you reconnect with your hair, regain its health and enjoy its beauty.
It is organized into 5 phases and is designed to transition from synthetic to natural cosmetics, understanding what your hair needs and respecting its nature.
It's not a quick journey and requires some patience, but the results are spectacular in just a few months. Keep reading and rely on us to address all your doubts.
The Henna Morena Method in 30 seconds
Before starting with The Henna Morena Method, you should consider two things: First, that the transformation of hair is not instantaneous. It requires consistency and a bit of patience. Second, even though your mane may need an adjustment period, from the beginning, you will notice that the change has been worth it: you'll know you've found your path forever.
Start over and prepare the hair.
→ WEEKS 1, 2, 3 Y 4 (IN PARALLEL WITH STEP 2)
Our method aims for you to reconnect with your hair and fall in love with it again. Say goodbye to feeling lost and not knowing why your hair reacts with frizz to the cold, your curls are undefined, or your mane is becoming increasingly sparse.
The use of synthetic products over the years, accumulated toxins, and dirt may be suffocating and weakening it. It's time to make a fresh start, to correct or change your hair, to reset your hair care habits.
The first step of the Henna Morena Method is a deep cleansing using high-quality sulfate-containing soaps that remove harmful substances from the hair. These soaps have an alkaline pH that opens the cuticle, making the hair receptive to subsequent treatments with plants.
A solid shampoo. To choose it, pay attention to the description and select the one that best suits your hair type.
For at least 1 month, you will wash your hair with that shampoo. After each wash, you will need to apply a conditioner or mask, as indicated in Step 2.
After the initial months, you can switch to Liquid Shampoo for regular use and reserve the Solid Shampoo for occasional use. Our recommendation is to always have both formats at home.

After the initial reset with solid shampoos, it is crucial to use hydration products after washing and intensive treatments on dry hair. You should start Step 2 at the same time as Step 1.
The Henna Morena Methop now reaches a crucial and non-negotiable moment: our hair needs to reinforce basic hydration after washing. On the one hand, our post-wash conditioners and masks are essential, made with moisturizing and repairing ingredients that leave the hair silky and easy to comb.
To complete hydration, we will undergo moisturizing treatments with essential plant fats from hair oils and shea butter, which repair the hair cuticle and prevent its natural dehydration caused by external aggressions such as cold, sun, humidity, or synthetic products. Applied to dry hair, from the scalp to the tips, they reconstruct the hair fiber from the inside, prevent water loss, eliminate frizz, and achieve spectacular shine and silkiness.
A conditioner, a hair mask, and a hair oil and/or shea butter. Optionally, the Night Regenerating Serum.
Finish each wash with the conditioner, and once a week, replace it with the mask (if possible, leave it on for 20-30 minutes). You should always use these two products, whether your hair is healthy or damaged.
At the same time, once a week apply a hair mask with one of our hair oils (here we show you how to prepare it) or with shea butter. In cases of frizz or extreme dryness, supplement your oil routine with the Night Regenerating Serum once a week, a highly intensive reparative treatment.
After a month or two, you can space out the oil applications to 1-2 times a month.
To remove the oils or butters from your hair, we recommend using one of our 4 sulfate-free liquid shampoos, which effectively combat excess grease, help seal the cuticle without leaving residues, and provide protective ingredients to the hair.

Once the hair is clean and moisturized, it's time to nourish it properly: nutrition. Plant and mineral powder or liquid treatments require the hair cuticle to be repaired to counteract their astringent effect and take advantage of all their benefis.
If your hair is damaged, has split ends, or is bleached (for example), and you haven't completed the previous steps of (1) resetting and (2) hydration for at least 1 month, do not proceed with the Henna Morena Method because the hair is not ready to absorb the nutrients from the plants.
To remove plant poultices, use our 4 sulfate-free liquid shampoos, which will help remove product residues from your hair, sealing the cuticle without leaving residues on your hair.
One or several powder treatments, according to your hair's needs. Both Cassia Obovata and Walnut share properties. The difference is that Wallnut contains natural tannins that lightly dye the hair brown. That's why, if you have brown hair, Walnut will help enhance your natural brown tone while providing the rest of the benefits. For other hair types, we recommend Cassia Obovata, provided you have previously completed Steps 1 and 2.
Optionally, one or several herbal infusions.
If you experience hair loss, the Hair Loss Lotion F12.
Once you have completed the timeframes for Steps 1 and 2, you can begin with plant treatments.
As a basic recommendation, we suggest choosing a powder treatment like Cassia or Walnut. From this point on, you can repeat the application of these plants once a month. If you choose to dye your hair with plants (Step 4), you can easily alternate these treatments with coloring.
If, in addition to these plants, you want to choose another treatment such as the Hair Loss Lotion F12 or herbal infusions, you can combine them without any problem. Follow the application instructions provided for each product to know how and when to apply them.

Your hair is now ready to use one of our plant-based coloring products (if you weren't thinking of changing your hair color, you can proceed to Step 5) However, you should know that our plant-based coloring products are not simple dyes; they are 100% plant formulas designed to pigment and nourish the hair.
How does plant pigmentation work?
Traditional dyes work by generating a chemical reaction that breaks the hair fibers of the hair cuticle to reach its cortex and thus achieve a color change through oxidation. In contrast, plant based coloring works by deposit. What does that mean? It means that pigments adhere or deposit onto cuticle, the outer part of the hair, respecting the hair fibers. Pigmentation will occur over the natural color of your hair. Without oxidation, it is not possible to lighten the color.
The more you use synthetic coloring, the more you weaken and damage your hair. However, with plant-based coloring, the opposite happens: the more you apply plant-base coloring, the more gray coverage, shine, and density you achieve. Additionally, by repairing the cuticle, you counteract damage caused by the sun, pollution, bleaching, or peroxide. Our range of plant-based coloring consists of 10 plant formulas that provide different pigments, and the result will depend on the natural color you apply them on.

To wash your hair after applying plant-based dyes, we recommend using our sulfate-free liquid shampoo range that will help remove plant residues from your hair.
Choose the formula you want to dye your hair with. You can check our coloring guide here.
Keep in mind that if you have brown hair and have 50% or more gray hair, you will need to do double coloring. You can find it explained in the coloring guide.
Remember that you will need to add hair oil or shea butter to the preparation.
Once the timeframes for Steps 1, 2 and 3 are completed, you can begin with plant-based coloring.
You can repeat the coloring application as many times as needed; it won't harm your hair. Typically, once a month is recommended, although you can also do an application every 15 days to touch up roots if necessary.
