Every person will have a slightly different result based on their natural hair color. - Cassia obovata leaves naturally have a yellow-gold dye molecule, chrysophanic acid
, which will stain your hair.
- If your hair is blonde, gray or white, this kit will
dye your hair a light blonde color.

Henna for Hair kit will cover gray and white hair when used according
to instructions.
- If your hair is black, red,
ash brown or brunette, this kit will not make your hair a lighter
color.
- If your hair is very light or
dye resistant, or very damaged from chemicals, you may need more than
one application to get blonde color.

first! Cassia obovata has unpredictable reactions with some hair
care products that you may have used in the past, causing reactive
chemicals to linger in your hair.

changing the color.

Instructions:
Mix your cassia
the day before you dye your hair for best results. Mix your cassia powder in a
glass or ceramic bowl with something slightly sour. - We recommend orange
juice, diluted lemon juice or some other mildly acidic liquid.
- This
will help the cassia leave a more vibrant golden wheat color.
- Mix enough liquid into the cassia to make
a paste as thick as mashed potatoes.
- Cover the paste with plastic wrap
and let it rest overnight at room temperature.
    Stir
a mildly acidic liquid into the cassia powder until it is about as
thick as mashed potatoes. Cover it and let it rest overnight.
Mix enough liquid into the henna to make a paste as thick as mashed
potatoes. - Cover the paste with plastic wrap and let it rest overnight
at room temperature.
- Don't
worry about exact measurements. For the first 6,000 years that
women dyed their hair with plants and herbs. They didn't have thermometers or
digital scales, and their hair always came out nice.
- If
you're in a hurry, put your henna in a warm place, like a closed car
with the windows rolled up. At 100F, cassia will be ready in an
hour.
- If your cassia is mixed, and you can't do your hair right
away, put your cassia in the refrigerator. It will stay ready for
four days in the fridge.
  
Section the hair first, especially if the hair is long. that will make things go much faster!
Apply
the paste right down onto the skin. If you're just doing the
roots, the piping bag will make this go quickly and easily!
Push the paste into the hair. Pull the paste through the length of the hair unless you're just doing roots.
Apply the paste thick, like cake frosting. When all the hair is completely coated with paste, wrap up the hair in saran wrap and take a nap.
Section your hair into ¼ inch sections, and
secure the sections with clips. - If you section your hair before
you start, the process will go much faster!
- Add more liquid as needed
to make a paste as thick as yogurt.
Beginning at the nape of the neck, apply the
paste right down to the scalp with your fingers.- Coat every hair
thickly by stroking and pushing the paste into your hair.
- Gradually
work your way to your forehead, one section at a time.
- Use the piping bag to apply paste to
those “hard to get to” spots, or to do your roots!
- Wear the gloves
provided in this kit!
When all your
hair is thickly coated with the mixture, clean off your forehead, ears,
and neck, and wrap up your hair in plastic wrap. - Leave the
mixture in your hair for two to four hours.
- Then, rinse your hair
and shampoo.
- If your hair was white, gray, or drab blonde, the cassia will leave a natural golden tone.
- If your hair was darker, the cassia will help your hair be thick and glossy; cassia is a great conditioner!
If you have cassia paste left over, put it in the piping bag and put it in the freezer. - Cassia paste will stay fresh in the freezer for a year. Thaw it, and its ready to use!
- Use leftover paste to touch up any spots you missed.
- Use leftover paste to go over your roots as they grow in.
You can apply cassia as often as you want. Cassia is GOOD for your hair!
