GODREJ N BURGUNDY

How GODREJ N BURGUNDY Works

• Godrej Nupur Henna is a natural hair coloring and conditioning product that leverages the power of henna, along with a blend of other beneficial herbs, to deliver color, shine, and overall hair health. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
• **Henna (Lawsonia inermis):** The primary coloring agent, henna, contains a molecule called lawsone. Lawsone binds to the protein (keratin) in your hair, creating a permanent color change. The color intensity depends on several factors including the natural color of your hair, the amount of henna used, and the duration it is left on the hair. Henna also coats the hair shaft, adding a protective layer that helps to reduce breakage and split ends. This coating effect contributes to smoother, shinier hair.
• **Mechanism of Action:** When the henna paste is applied to the hair, the lawsone molecules gradually penetrate the hair cuticle (the outer layer) and bind to the keratin. This process is what imparts the reddish-brown color typically associated with henna. Since it binds directly to the hair protein, it provides a more natural and longer-lasting color compared to synthetic dyes that simply coat the hair.
• **Burgundy Shade Enhancement:** While the base color comes from henna, the "Burgundy" shade in Godrej Nupur Henna is achieved through a careful blend of other natural ingredients and possibly some color-enhancing herbs. These additional ingredients work synergistically with henna to create a richer, deeper burgundy tone. The exact composition of these ingredients is proprietary to Godrej, but they likely include plant-based extracts and pigments known for their coloring properties.
• **Herbal Conditioning:** Godrej Nupur Henna often includes other herbal ingredients known for their conditioning and strengthening properties, such as amla, shikakai, reetha, and hibiscus. Amla is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, promoting hair growth and scalp health. Shikakai and reetha are natural cleansers that gently remove dirt and oil without stripping the hair of its natural oils. Hibiscus helps to condition the hair, making it softer and more manageable. These herbs work together to nourish the hair from root to tip, improving its overall health and appearance.
• **Application and Development:** The henna powder is mixed with water (or other liquids like tea or coffee for color variation) to form a paste. This paste is then applied evenly to the hair, ensuring all strands are coated. The longer the paste remains on the hair, the more intense the color will be. During this time, the lawsone molecules continue to bind to the keratin, and the conditioning herbs penetrate the hair shaft. After the desired time, the paste is rinsed out, leaving behind colored, conditioned, and revitalized hair.
• **Overall Benefits:** Godrej Nupur Henna provides a natural and gentle way to color your hair while simultaneously improving its health and appearance. By using natural ingredients, it minimizes the risk of damage associated with harsh chemical dyes. The henna coats and protects the hair shaft, while the added herbs nourish and strengthen the hair from within. This results in vibrant color, enhanced shine, and healthier, more manageable hair.

While GODREJ N BURGUNDY hair color is generally safe, some individuals may experience side effects. These can include skin irritation, redness, itching, or burning sensations on the scalp. Allergic reactions, though rare, can manifest as hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and difficulty breathing. Hair damage, such as dryness, brittleness, or breakage, is also a possibility. In some cases, temporary changes in hair texture or scalp discoloration may occur. It's always recommended to perform a patch test before full application to check for sensitivity. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.

• GODREJ N BURGUNDY is for external use only and typically used for hair coloring. Missing a dose is not applicable as it's not a medication taken on a regular schedule.
• If you forget to apply GODREJ N BURGUNDY when you intended to color your hair, simply apply it when you next have the opportunity and desire to do so.
• There are no adverse effects associated with 'missing a dose' since it is a cosmetic product.

• Keep GODREJ N BURGUNDY away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store GODREJ N BURGUNDY at room temperature.

• Always perform a patch test 48 hours before full application to check for any allergic reactions. Apply a small amount of Godrej Nupur Henna Burgundy to a small area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner elbow. If no irritation occurs, proceed with full application.
• For best color results, especially on grey hair, consider using Godrej Nupur Henna Burgundy on hair that is clean and free of oils or styling products. Shampoo your hair 24 hours before application, skipping conditioner. This allows the henna to adhere better to the hair shaft, resulting in more vibrant and longer-lasting color.
• When mixing the henna powder, use lukewarm water gradually to achieve a smooth, yogurt-like consistency. Avoid using hot water, as it can diminish the color intensity. Let the mixture sit for at least 2-3 hours before application, allowing the dye to release fully. This step is crucial for optimal color payoff.
• Apply the henna paste generously and evenly from root to tip, ensuring all strands are thoroughly coated. For stubborn grays, apply a thicker layer. After application, cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap to retain moisture and heat, enhancing color development. Leave the henna on for the recommended time (typically 2-3 hours) for best results.
• After the recommended time, rinse your hair thoroughly with plain water until the water runs clear. Avoid using shampoo for at least 48 hours after rinsing, as this allows the color to fully set. You can use conditioner if desired. The color will continue to deepen and develop over the next few days, revealing the final burgundy hue.
• To maintain the vibrancy of your Godrej Nupur Henna Burgundy color, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair. These products are gentler and will help prevent the color from fading quickly. Avoid excessive sun exposure, as UV rays can also cause color to fade. Consider using a leave-in conditioner with UV protection.
• Customize your burgundy shade by adding ingredients like beetroot juice for a redder tone or coffee for a darker tone to the henna mixture. Experiment with small amounts to achieve your desired custom color. Remember to always do a strand test before applying the mixture to your entire head.
• If you have very dry hair, add a tablespoon of olive oil or yogurt to the henna mixture for added moisture. This will help prevent the henna from drying out your hair and making it brittle. The added moisture will also contribute to a smoother and shinier finish.
• For root touch-ups, apply the henna paste only to the new growth, avoiding previously colored hair. This prevents over-processing and uneven color. Leave the henna on for the same amount of time as your initial application for consistent results.
• Store leftover henna powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Properly stored henna powder can last for several months. Always check the expiration date before using.

• GODREJ N BURGUNDY is a hair color product and does not interact with food. It is applied topically to the hair and scalp. Therefore, food consumption or the timing of its application relative to meals does not affect its performance or safety.
