Cassia Obovata
Cassia Obovata
  • Cassia Obovata makes your hair shiny, healthy and strong. 
  • Cassia will make bleached, damaged blond hair thick and silky.
  • Cassia will restore youthful golden color to dull or graying blond hair.
There is NO such thing as  neutral henna or blond henna!  Much of what is sold in boxes called neutral or blond henna is Cassia Obovata, usually with unlisted adulterants.  Cassia obovata will make damaged hair silky, thick, lustrous, and helps keep your scalp healthy, just as henna does.  This has a golden yellow dye molecule, but it won't show up on your hair unless you are very pale blond or gray.  Cassia will not make dark hair golden.  Cassia will make gray or blond hair golden.

What is Cassia Obovata and what does it do?
 Want to know more?  Go here!

Cassia obovata is good for you and your hair, and you can use it as often as you like! Your hair will love you for it!  

Here's how to condition your hair with cassia obovata:

  • Stir enough warm water into cassia to make a mix as thick as yogurt.  Section your hair and apply the cassia paste thick like cake frosting all through your hair. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap to contain the slop.  Leave the paste in one hour.  Rinse out and shampoo.  Your hair should feel heavy, thick and silky.  This conditioning should last about 1 month.

Here's how to dye your faded or graying blond hair with cassia obovata:

  • Mix cassia with enough lemon juice or orange juice to make a paste as thick as yogurt.  Let the paste sit about 12 hours.  Section your hair and apply the cassia thick, as you would cake frosting into all the sections and down to the scalp. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap to contain the slop.   Leave the paste in three hours.   Rinse out and shampoo.  Your gray or faded blond hair should feel heavy, thick and silky, and have a lovely youthful golden color.
