Henna Powder for White Hair: A Natural & Safe Way to Cover Grey Hair

White hair is completely normal—whether it starts early or comes with age. But many people feel uncomfortable using chemical dyes due to hair fall, dryness, scalp irritation, and long-term damage.

That’s where henna powder becomes the perfect natural alternative.

In this blog, let’s explore how henna powder helps cover white hair naturally, how to apply it correctly, and how to get the best dark color results using Yesaara Naturals Henna Powder.

Why Does White Hair Appear?

White or grey hair usually happens due to:

• reduced melanin (natural pigment) in hair
• stress & lifestyle
• genetics
• hormonal changes
• vitamin/mineral deficiency (B12, iron, copper)

While white hair is natural, you can still color it safely with herbal solutions like henna.

Is Henna Powder Good for White Hair?

Yes!
Henna powder for white hair is one of the safest ways to color grey hair naturally because it:

• contains no ammonia
• has no harsh chemicals
• is gentle on scalp
• adds shine and softness
• strengthens hair roots

Henna coats your hair strands with a natural reddish-brown pigment. On white hair, henna shows brighter color compared to black hair.

What Color Does Henna Give on White Hair?

On white/grey hair, pure henna typically gives:

• orange
• copper
• reddish-brown

If you prefer darker shades like brown/black, you can mix henna with natural ingredients (explained below).
