The beauty industry is replete with all kinds of offers. The lion's share of them is occupied by the main weapon service feminine attractiveness. But factory-produced products have significant drawback– chemical components.
When dyeing, Basma not only changes the color of your hair, but also cares for itDespite colorful advertising promising careful protection of oils, oxidizing agents and fixatives are not in the best possible way affect the fragile structure of the hair. That’s why natural dyes that really care for hair are gaining popularity. Basma for hair – we’ll talk about it today.
Women Balzac age, there is no need to explain the essence of the issue - the use of the dye has been popular for a long time, as well as the benefits of henna and basma.
And only with the dominance of products famous brands, the natural paint is somewhat lost. Young fashionistas are now wondering what it is? Let's satisfy your curiosity:
The advantage of the dye is its price. The cost is comparable to a box of mid-range paint. In a word, anyone can afford to buy sachets without any restrictions.
No remedy is perfect. Including Basma. And if in the case of using henna, changing the shade will not cause a disaster - it will remain at an acceptable level, then with basma everything is more complicated.
The dye tends to change during the entire oxidation time, so the final result is unpredictable. In addition, incorrect proportions will lead to a freaky appearance - blue or green shades of hair.
You won’t be able to wash off the result you don’t like if the paint you purchased is natural, without names like “black basma” or “oriental” - the original contains only one word.
In other cases, reactions and shades are unstable. Therefore, you should make a decision consciously and be ready to wear new color hair until it is completely washed off or the strands grow back.
You cannot apply other dyes to freshly dyed hair - the effect is guaranteed to be different + problems with the scalp - burns, dryness - are guaranteed.
So, if you like the look of a hot Spanish, Italian or other oriental beauty and the decision to use basma has been made, let’s begin. How to paint basma black?
First of all, you need to conduct a sensitivity test - any dye, including basma, causes allergies. To do this, apply a small portion of the powder to the back of the hand.
Please note that you cannot immediately get rid of the resulting shade on the skin, so we make a small smear.
It is obtained as a result of equal mixing of parts of powders - 1:1. The amount is determined individually, depending on the length, thickness and original shade of the hair. Light colors lend themselves best to dyeing - light brown, red, but not blond - the result may turn out to be green.
In this case, the percentage of basma versus henna is halved. Mixing two parts of henna and 1 basma will give you a copper, brown or coffee tint. Depending on the natural shade - on light hair a more reddish color will appear.
Dye your hair with basma to get the color of a raven wing, perhaps if you increase the dose in combination with henna. Now the proportion will be 2:1 for dark hair. The original shade will greatly adjust the result.
For example, red hair will not turn into blue-black, for the reason that the difference is dramatic. You will have to increase the amount to 3-4 parts to 1 part of henna.
Women of the older generation, as well as young blondes, want to be attractive at all times.
However, using the powder will turn light hair into green, and then leaving the house with your head held high will not work. What to do? Proceed as follows:
There is no need to be afraid of a reaction from a long process if a skin sensitivity test to the dye has been carried out in advance. Many women, on the contrary, state the fact of greater saturation if the composition is retained on the hair for a long time.
There is nothing complicated in preparing the composition for coloring. Opened packs of henna and basma are used immediately - storage in the air is not allowed. Otherwise, the oxidation process will transform the composition used in next time, in low quality.
Let's move on to preparing the hair:
When all precautions have been taken, apply the composition to the hair with a brush or sponge, then wrap the head in a plastic bag and wait the allotted time.

Before the invention of hair dye as we know it now, women used basma and henna for coloring purposes - natural means of giving their hair the desired color. They are still used today. Basma itself is a fairly cheap product with a lot of useful properties. They and how to dye your hair with basma will be discussed in detail in the article below.
Basma is a natural dye that was known back in the times of Ancient Egypt. It is a powdery blue-green substance obtained by grinding the dried leaves of the indigo plant.
This natural dye not only gives hair color, but also heals it, nourishing it with vitamin C and beneficial tannins, and promotes regeneration. skin, prevents their inflammation. It is also used to treat dandruff and strengthen hair.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW! Natural basma should be used without adding chemicals. The dye affects the hair very intensively, changing its structure, which is why the resulting dark shade very difficult to remove.
When using pure basma for coloring, you need to take into account that the result will be a rich black with shades of blue.
Therefore, it is often mixed with henna to achieve a copper to dark chestnut color.
The mixture is applied to washed, towel-dried hair. To obtain a black color, basma and henna are applied sequentially, separately from each other. The powder of both substances is mixed in a glass container with hot water
Types of basma and its cost The type of basma depends on its territorial origin. It can be Turkish, Iranian, Yemeni or the well-known Indian.
The latter is precisely the most popular of all listed, since the coloring with it is gentle, and the color lasts longer on the head.
Iranian is used in most cases to obtain chestnut shades. Indian - to acquire black color. Within the market, the cost of these natural paints ranges from 20 to 400 rubles per package.
Reviews from readers and professionals about hair coloring with basma The network is replete with comments on these products, in reviews directly to the product and on thematic forums. Some people complain about the wrong shade (with careless and reckless dyeing, it can turn out slightly greenish), or about the difficulty of washing out the color. Again, the only reason for this is improper handling of the product, violation of the rules of storage and use. If you strictly follow the instructions and techniques for applying basma, such problems should not arise.
Professionals do not recognize henna and basma due to one simple circumstance - it is difficult to wash off, and then it is difficult to dye your hair another, especially a lighter color. But this, of course, is only their, hairdressing, interest.

Below we will consider the proportions of basma: henna.
As mentioned earlier, basma should be used in conjunction with henna, as this move will help avoid unexpected shades.
Unless, of course, the desired shade is swamp green.
The paint should be stored according to the instructions on the packaging, and the storage itself should not exceed its expiration date. It’s better to take it fresher, then the result will be better.

What is Basma?
Basma is a grayish-green powder made from indigo leaves that grow in tropical climates. It is the most popular oriental dye, along with henna.
CHOICE OF BASMA
For coloring, I take the most common basma - penny bags from Phytocosmetics. I don’t see any point in overpaying, because... The quality of this basma is quite high.
When choosing basma, I advise you to pay attention to the date of manufacture - I always ask the pharmacy to choose fresher basma for me, since the coloring result directly depends on this (old basma may simply not dye my hair).
CHARACTERISTICS :
Color- grayish-green, shades may slightly vary even in bags of the same batch.
Smell- herbal, for me personally, pleasant.
BASMA KNEADING
Basma should not be used without henna - otherwise you can get a wonderful range of marsh shades, especially on light brown hair.
To dye it in a shade close to chocolate, I came up with the following mixing ratio: half a packet of henna to 3 packets of basma (1:6).
Point #1 If your initial color can be classified as at least light chestnut or darker, then the likelihood of success with basma increases.
Point #2 The first time I dyed, I diluted the miracle dye a little differently - 1 packet of henna to 3 packets of basma (1:3). Because the red tint of henna should settle in the hair - this can be called a safety cushion against blue and green tints in the hair, which beginners are so afraid of. With each subsequent coloring, the amount of henna in proportion can be gradually reduced with absolutely no risk.
I dilute the mixture of basma and henna with boiling water and stir thoroughly, it turns out such a thick and creamy substance. As soon as it cools down a little, I apply it warm to my hair. During the distribution process, the mixture seems to swell, so I dilute it a little with water for convenience. It is better to do this in the process, if necessary, because... Initially, a mixture that is too liquid will flow terribly and stain everything around.
COLORING EXPERIENCE
Most often, when dyeing my hair with basma, I was quite pleased with the result, but several times (perhaps the stale packaging had leaked into the slender ranks) the color turned out to be frankly reddish. I eliminated this problem by layering - after a couple of days I re-dyed the length ONLY with basma. That. the shade turned out darker and chocolate.
I apply a mixture of henna and basma to CLEAN and slightly damp hair after washing.
I leave it on for 4-5 hours, then wash it off with running water (a huge amount) without using shampoo or conditioner.
Important points:
◆ I adhere to the popular opinion that 3 days after dyeing your hair with basma, it is better not to take risks and not wash your hair. I heard that during this time the color “sets” on the hair - for the same reason, it is better not to use any leave-in products or other products.
◆ Oops, but natural hair care after such coloring turns out to be very strange - or rather, it doesn’t work - any oils (no matter, as masks or a couple of drops as a leave-in just CONTRAINDICATED), because they very quickly wash away basma and henna, and therefore the result of coloring. Only silicones, only hardcore, otherwise how to keep unruly hair looking decent?!
Flaws
◆ Immediately after coloring and until the next wash, the hair is incredibly stiff, like straw.
◆ The length dries out significantly - and that’s what I tried to paint evenly.
◆ The result of coloring can be unpredictable, so you should always be prepared to sit at home for a couple of days until correction
◆ Paint long hair It’s simply impossible to do it on your own, you need an assistant. And even, having received the help of a good assistant, after painting you discover that everything within a meter from you has been damaged to one degree or another by basma - small splashes, drops that need to be quickly washed off.
◆ Over several years of regular coloring, I have not seen any noticeable healing effect on my hair.
For a long time I dutifully put up with these shortcomings, but one day I simply decided to stop dancing with tambourines due to high energy costs.
Therefore, bonus: how to wash basma/henna from hair?
To do this, now I make oil masks - before each wash, slightly warmed oil (I tried coconut, almond - it doesn’t really matter which one you choose), apply it to your hair, massage and walk with this mask for at least 30 minutes, and then wash it as usual hair. For a couple of months now I have been preparing for normal coloring, otherwise there is no other way, just cut off hair previously colored with basma or henna, since natural dyes sooooo caustic.
I give it a 4, but for myself I consider this method of coloring to be very controversial.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer!
If you are a supporter of naturalness in body and hair care, then you are probably interested in your hair acquiring a beautiful, noble shade?
On store shelves today there is a huge selection of cosmetics for every taste and budget, but an old product that our distant ancestors used for hair beauty is receiving good feedback and now. What is the reason for this interest?
Basma is a natural powder that colors hair no worse than any modern product.
Not only does it not harm women’s hair, but on the contrary, it will make it healthier, more luxurious, and fuller, as can be seen in the photo.
Basma is a strong dye that gives curls a color from dark chestnut to black.
This natural remedy brings many benefits to women's hair:
Basma contains biologically active substances, vitamins, minerals and tannins, wax, and resins. All this makes this remedy anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and therapeutic.

If the mass has been left in the air for some time, it may oxidize, as a result of which the coloring result will be unpredictable.
Preparation of the mixture for coloring in the photo.
The basma mass is quite liquid and easily flows from curls, especially short ones.
Therefore, to prevent the mass from flowing down your head onto your body and clothes, you can add some component to it that will bind it - oil, glycerin, a decoction of flax seeds.
This way the mass will become thicker, will stick to your hair better, and will not dry out your curls.
Before you start dyeing your curls, first wrap your neck with a napkin or towel, and lubricate your temples and forehead with oil or Vaseline so that you don’t have to wash the dye off your skin later.
Color options for curls after the dyeing procedure in the photo.
Make sure that the oil does not get on the curls, as this area will remain unpainted.
The whole process can last a few minutes or one to two hours, depending on what result you want to have in the end.
For example, if you dye your hair with henna and then dye it again with basma, you will get a black tint for your mane.
By varying the amount of basma and henna, you can change the color of your curls.
Of course, the final result depends most of all on the initial data - your natural color, hair thickness, the presence of gray hair, but a general pattern is still observed:
For the procedure at home you will need 25 - 100 grams of powder for different lengths curls.
Choose the volume of henna and basma based on what shade you want to end up with - black, chestnut, bronze and others.
To properly prepare paint from basma and henna, the dry powders are mixed, after which they must be diluted with hot water (90 degrees) and thoroughly rubbed with a plastic or wooden spoon until it becomes thick sour cream.
The powder can be diluted not only with water, but also with strong hot coffee infusion or hot red wine. To bind the mass, a decoction of flax seeds, glycerin, and shampoo are also added to it.
If you pour 1 tsp into the mixture. olive or other oil, this will give your hair softness and silkiness.
When the mixture is ready, it is applied along the partings or immediately rubbed evenly along the entire length of the hair.
After this, the hair is combed first with a comb with rare teeth, and then with frequent ones. The head should be clean and slightly damp for the best effect of the paint.
It is better to start applying paint from the back of the head, and then cover the temples and parietal area with a layer of paint, and then dilute the remaining mixture with hot water and spread it over the entire length.
To make the paint work faster, after applying the mixture, put a polyethylene cap on your hair and insulate it with a scarf. Areas with gray hair are coated several times.
If you want to have a black or other dark shade, you need to keep the porridge on your head for at least an hour, and for light shades - from 20 minutes.
After the required time has passed, the paint is washed off with lukewarm water. Use detergents and acidified water is not recommended so that the color adheres well to the hair.
For the same reason, after the procedure you should not wash your hair for three days.
The photo shows the process of dyeing hair with basma.
If you decide to dye your hair with basma for the first time, first try the product on a separate curl to see what the result will be.
Hair color after the procedure depends on many factors. Even when using the same recipe, according to reviews, two people's curls can have completely different shades.
What does the final result of the procedure depend on:
If after the procedure you get a too rich shade, you can reduce its intensity with vegetable oil.
To do this, the oil is slightly heated and applied to the curls for about half an hour, after which it is washed off with detergent.
If after the first such procedure the color is still bright, then it is repeated the required number of times. You can also use lemon juice for the same purposes.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon onto your hair for about 5-10 minutes, after which you need to rinse your hair with water.
Coloring results in the photo.
You should know that basma in its pure form can make your hair bluish or greenish, which will be especially visible on curls of light shades.
Bleached or damaged hair usually takes a lot of color from natural dyes.
Therefore, if you have bleached hair, first test the effect of the dye on an inconspicuous area.
The effect of using basma on hair is noticeable within a few months, but over time it may acquire a purple, blue or reddish tone.
Therefore, after a while, tint your curls so that the color is fixed.
In the photo - a table of exposure of the mixture for dyeing on hair.
Before applying artificial dyes to the hair, the basma must be completely washed off from the hair, otherwise the result of the dyeing can be very unexpected - the hair can turn bluish, pink or green.
To prevent this from happening, cover them with paints after natural coloring not earlier than in a month.
In addition, hairdressers offer a pickling procedure to neutralize the effect of the paint.

Therefore, if you use basma to color your curls, you should take care of moisturizing them.
Many girls and women like to experiment with their appearance. Most often, changes occur with hair, which can be cut, laminated, dyed, highlighted or colored. Typically, coloring of strands is done using dyes, which often contain aggressive substances that negatively affect on the structure and condition of hair. Today, girls who have experienced chemical compounds more than once are trying to find products with a gentle composition and the ability to restore damaged hair. One of these products is basma.
Almost all paints produced from well-known brands contain a lot of chemicals that spoil the structure and appearance hair. Modern women and girls prefer natural ones cosmetics, so if you dye your hair, basma will be an ideal option.
Basma began to be made back in the 7th century BC. In ancient times, women used it to dye their hair and eyebrows black. The tropical indigofera shrub serves as a source of raw materials for the preparation of natural dye. The leaves of the plant are dried and ground into a gray-green powder. To obtain certain shades, the composition is diluted with henna in the required proportions. No special catalysts are required for the reaction.
If you use basma without henna, your hair color may end up with a green or blue tint. This nuance should definitely be taken into account by owners blonde hair. The product is a powerful coloring agent that is a worthy competitor even to professional paints.

Main advantages Basma:

Like any other remedy , Basma has several disadvantages:
Before using the powder, you should carefully study the instructions in order to dilute the powder with henna in the correct proportions to obtain the desired tone. Problems with basma usually only concern color.
When choosing a product, you need to pay attention to its name. On store shelves they often sell “black basma,” which has nothing to do with the indigofera dye. For reliability, you should read the ingredients, then you can avoid mistakes when purchasing the required product.
When basma and henna are combined in different proportions, the strands can acquire a variety of shades. The result is also affected by the time the dye is left on the hair. The instructions often advise testing on a separate strand to understand how long you need to keep the mixture on your hair. Beginners should take this seriously henna dyeing procedure and Basma.
How to choose a shade:

Typically, natural dye is chosen as an alternative to black hair dye. Since the product is very persistent, it is necessary to use protective gloves and a cape to prevent the formation of dark spots. Also for painting you will need a plastic or glass container, a brush, a comb, napkins, a towel and cream.

The strands are thoroughly combed from the crown down. Clothes and neck are covered with a protective cape. Hands should be gloved, because the diluted product often comes into contact with them. A cream with a greasy texture is applied to the skin in the area of the forehead and temples.
