What is Light Mountain® Natural Henna?
The henna product is made from the powdered botanicals of three species of plants: the henna plant (also called Lawsonia Inermis), neutral henna (Cassia auriculata), and Black henna derived from indigo.

Henna can be used on gray hair (less than 20%) and the gray strands typically absorb the henna shade you select, and end up being lovely hig
