About

Lena Talks Beauty is an independent beauty publication about colouring hair with plants and kitchen ingredients: henna, indigo, cassia and amla, coffee and tea rinses, covering grey, and choosing a shade that suits your skin tone. A small section covers botanical oils and hydrosols for cosmetic use.

What you will find here

• Guides that open with the answer, then give amounts and timings as ranges.
• The Henna & Indigo Mix Planner, which turns supplier instructions into a plan for your hair.
• Fixes for the common problems: orange on day one, green after indigo, greys that will not take.

What you will not find

• Claims that any ingredient grows hair, stops hair loss, treats the scalp or skin, or reverses greying.
• Invented testers, reviews or "before and after" photos. The images are illustrative still lifes, not results.
• Sponsored placements. The site sells nothing.

About the name

The domain lenatalksbeauty.com was used by earlier, unrelated blogs. This publication has no connection to them, does not use their content and does not speak for any person called Lena. "Lena Talks Beauty" is simply the masthead.
