About 100g of Ancient Sunrise® cassia is needed for every 5 inches of hair. This may vary depending on density and porosity of the hair.
Preparing cassia paste for color or conditioning:Mixing and Dye-Releasing Cassia(Do this 8 hours prior to using the dye).
Do NOT add oils, conditioners, or any additional ingredients to any part of the paste, as these will affect the results.
More information can be found here:http://www.hennaforhair.com/faq/Clarity_cassia-aur...Preparing cassia and indigo for a gloss:
Preparing your hair:Shampoo hair immediately before applying your paste. Skip conditioner and oil-based products. For best results, use a clarifying shampoo and/or Ancient Sunrise® Rainwash Mineral Treatment, especially if you have hard water.Application:Hair can be either damp or dry when applying your paste.
Rinsing:Soak hair in warm water to dissolve the paste. Apply conditioner liberally to loosen remaining residue, then rinse and shampoo. Repeat as necessary until water runs clear or almost clear. Condition, dry, and style as normal. Aftercare:Storage:Plant powders can be kept air-tight, dry, and out of direct light for several years. Henna, cassia, and acid powder pastes can be frozen for up to 6 months. ***DO NOT freeze indigo powder or paste.*** Sample Test:Conduct a sample test on hair harvested from your brush or on an inconspicuous area of the head before doing a full-head treatment. If the result is not what you expected, email helpdesk@mehandi.com and send our henna specialist a photo of your results and a photo of what you are looking for. Patch Test:To test for sensitivities, mix a small amount of cassia and acidic liquid – fruit acid powder, and distilled water – into a paste following roughly the same proportions as your intended mix. Allow the paste to dye-release.
Mixes containing henna may stain skin orange. This is normal, and not an allergic reaction. Allergies to henna are extremely rare but can happen. Itching can be caused by sensitivities to a certain type of fruit acid. Ancient Sunrise® Henna for Hair DOES NOT contain PPD, metallic salts, or other chemical adulterants. If you experience a reaction, contact Customer Service. Contact a doctor if you have further concerns.
