Henna Hair Colouring.

[Pugwash]

A friend who lives in Champion Hill, has for years used henna to colour her hair and found a local hairdresser to do this for her. Unfortunately this hairdresser has retired so my friend is looking for an alternative colourist.

Friend is Canadian and has used henna for over 30 years as it does not cause any allergic reactions. She has mobility problems and needs to take mini cabs everywhere. She is not able to apply this herself and usually has her hair cut at the same time.

Anybody know of a reasonably local hair salon who would offer this service?

Does your friend know that you can get liquid henna? It is much easier to apply than the powder. You just apply it like a shampoo and comb it through.

It can be a bit messy, but not nearly as messy as the powder method (in my experience over decades 🤣)

Health Matters in Lordship Lane used to stock it, I don't know if they still do, also Baldwin's in the Walworth Road, or you can buy it online.

It comes in the same colours as the powder eg mahogany etc.

Here's just one place:

There are also other brands of liquid henna than that one.
