Product Review

Cassia Obovata is often called neutral henna but cassia, unlike henna, has no dye content but contains Chrysophanic Acid (a natural anthraquinone also found in Rhubarb root and used for highlighting gray hair) which will color light hair (gray, white or blond) a pale yellow color. Cassia is great as a natural hair dye conditioner for blonde color hair, whether natural or chemically treated because it will just enhance the natural color but it is always advisable to test before applying.

Dark hair will not be affected by the acid in cassia instead it will be left thickened and glowing.

Cassia strengthens hair roots stimulating hair growth and thickens hair leaving it strong and healthy.

Cassia is also a brilliant hair shine conditioner that will leave you with glossy shining hair particularly if blonde colored hair.

Henna and Cassia: various shades of blonde-copper red can be achieved by mixing henna and cassia whether alone or with a combination of herbal powders but always add small amounts of henna to cassia and test color before adding more as henna is always more dominant than all the herbal powders. NOTE: you will have to experiment here.
