This blog post on henna review in Kenya will begin with the Vatika Henna and other brands of the best henna powder in Kenya will be added as I use them.
Vatika Henna Hair Color Review
Packaging
Vatika Henna Hair Color has excellent packaging since it comes in a sealed sachet that contains another sealed sachet within it. These 2 sealed sachets markedly reduce the risk of contamination and leakage of the henna. The packaging also contains the products expiry date which ensures you buy an effective henna powder in Kenya.
Ingredients
Lawsonia inermis (henna) leaf powder, calcium peroxide, tartaric acid are the first 3 ingredients. It also contains phenylenediamine which can cause allergic reactions especially to persons who have experienced allergic reactions to temporary black henna tattoos.
Claims
The Vatika Henna packaging has the following claims:
100% gray coverage
No ammonia
Rich natural color
Pure henna conditioning
Glossy shine
Gentle on hair
Formulation
Powder
Fragrance
Herbal powder
Availability
It is readily available as I bought it from a beauty shop in Nairobi, Kenya. You can also buy it from Amazon.
Price
Ksh 100 which is around US$ 1
Instructions
The packaging instructs us to empty the contents of the sachet in a bowl and add 40 ml of water to form an uniform paste. This should be applied on the hair using an applicator while focusing on white hair. The color should be allowed to develop for 30 minutes. The hair should then be washed thoroughly with lukewarm water.
What I Did
I mixed the Vatiak Henna Powder with around 50ml of hot black tea and applied it on my hair when it was cool. I then sat under a dryer for 20 minutes and rinsed it off with luke warm water.
My Experience and Conclusion
My first henna review in Kenya brand is Vatika and it did not disappoint because it provided me with 100% coverage on all my white hair. It was also gentle on my natural 4C hair and provided a rich color. Its availability and affordability also means that I can do touch ups as often I need them.Would I use it again? Yes, because it is one of the best henna powder in Kenya.
