Is henna permanent hair color?
Henna is a permanent hair dye. The color is most vibrant for the first 4 to 6 weeks, and in my experience it starts to gradually fade after that, but I’m not sure it ever goes away completely. Keep in mind that if you want to dye your hair later, it may be difficult to go lighter in color.
Will henna hair dye ever wash out?
