New product - Clarity
Introducing the newest product in the Ancient Sunrise family: Clarity Cassia, [cassia auriculata], a finely sifted organic plant powder for hair. It is a superior product with a fine sift and can be used safely on all hair types including kinky curly hair. While this has a weak dye molecule, it will condition your hair and add shine. You can use it alone to condition your hair, or use it in a henna/indigo mix.

Catherine's Curiosities - Articles on henna and hair by Catherine Cartwright-Jones, PhD

Ancient Sunrise® Clarity, Cassia auriculata
Cassia auriculata and Cassia obovata are two different plants which have different characteristics when applied to hair. Powders of the dried leaves of both plants can be wetted, made into pastes, and applied to hair to improve the luster and strength. Cassia obovata is native to and grown commercially in hot, dry areas of Africa and is in decreasing economic production. Cassia auriculata is native to India and has largely been substituted for obovata in hair care supplies. These are tested on white, unpigmented hair to most easily visualize the color difference. Cassia obovata stains white hair a soft wheat color.

Looking Back and Looking Forward
In the summer of 2017, we began The Ancient Sunrise® Blog and The Becoming Moonlight® Blog. The idea started out with a simple question: How could we educate more people about the science and art of henna? Catherine Cartwright Jones’ work was freely available online, we had active Facebook groups and pages, and Mehandi customer service could be reached via phone, email, chat, and social media platforms. Yet there was still more we could do to provide clear, accurate information to more people across the world.
