Henna, Indigo, Cassia and Herbal Hair Powders




Cassia, Henna and Indigo (Origin: Egypt)



Cassia Obovata (also known as Senna Obovata) is a natural plant powder, which is used as a natural conditioning hair treatment.  It will leave your hair feeling soft, shiny and if naturally curly, will temporarily help to loosen any coils or kinks in the curl pattern.  Cassia is Not Suitable for Pregnancy or Lactation


Henna (Lawsonia Inermis) is a natural hair dye, which comes from the leaves of the Henna plant.  It is long lasting and the colour outcome will vary from intense red (on blonde hair) to coppery red (on grey hairs) to reddy, burgundy higlights on brown, dark brown or black hair.  Henna also strengthens the hair and like Cassia, can temporarily loosen the curl pattern of tightly coiled or kinky hair.  Henna is Not Suitable for: G6DP Deficiency (Glucose-6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency, Extreme Anemia, Hyperbilirubinemia, Any chronic or acute condition affecting your blood system or immune system, High Risk pregnancy please check with your GP or Nurse


Indigo TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK PLEASE DO NOT ORDER - DUE IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2010 comes from the leaves of the plant Indigofera tinctoria which in the past was used to dye blue jeans.  Indigo is mainly cultivated in Asia and some parts of Africa.  It it also used to colour our Hair from Dark Brown to Black, but it is not advisable to use Indigo alone as it will turn the hair bluish tinge.  However, it can be used in small amounts e.g 2 tsp mixed with Conditioner for an Indigo Gloss (like a toner) and will not turn your hair blueish.
