Basma - a dye of natural origin, which is obtained from an indigo plant. Bassmu for hair was used by beauties of the Ancient East for getting bright saturated shades and healing curls.
Basma contains substances that strengthen the roots of the hair, improve the blood circulation of the scalp, and fight against dandruff . The structure of the hair after staining is strengthened, smoothed, they become elastic and shiny.
Unlike chemical dyes, the hair basma is absolutely safe: it does not destroy the structure and natural pigment of the hair, but covers them with a protective layer on top, smooths out the scales.
However, it should be remembered that coloring the hair with basma is a long and troublesome process. Unfortunately, you can not accurately foresee what exactly the shade will turn out on your hair. It all depends on the structure, length, thickness and natural color of your curls.
If the hair has previously been chemically stained, melted , or curled , basma can appear on them in the most unpredictable shades - from green to fiery red. Therefore, it is advisable to wait a few months until the chemistry is completely washed out of the hair.
Basma when staining is always mixed with henna , otherwise the pure powder of the indigo sphere will color your hair in a green or blue tint.
Basma allows you to get a lot of different shades on your hair - from light brown and chestnut to black, the main thing - learn how to observe the proportions when mixing it with henna.
Warm blond shade is obtained by mixing henna and basma in equal proportions. Paint on the hair should be kept only 30 minutes.
A light chestnut color can be obtained if the staining time is increased to 1 hour.
A saturated chocolate shade is obtained by mixing three parts of the basma and one part of the henna. We keep the paint on the hair for up to 1.5 hours.
Bronze-brown color is obtained by mixing two parts of henna and one part of the basma. Waiting time on the hair is about an hour.
