Add 25g of Ancient Sunrise® Nightfall Rose per 100g Ancient Sunrise® henna or cassia then stir in enough filtered or distilled water until the paste is the desired consistency. Ancient Sunrise® Nightfall Rose powder is dried aronia prunifolia berries which naturally contain anthocyanin pigments which may be blue, violet, or rose colored depending on pH (just like red cabbage). Ancient Sunrise® Nightfall Rose powder added to henna and indigo pastes creates beautiful soft brunette colors. Use Ancient Sunrise® Nightfall Rose powder naturally contains malic acid which is very gentle to skin and hair, and is certified organic and wild-harvested.

Henna and cassia will dye your hair most effectively when mixed with a mildly acidic liquid. The acidic liquid keeps the hydrogen atoms intact on the corners of the quinone molecules so the color (lawsone or crysophanic acid) can bind to the keratin in your hair. If these molecules are bound to your hair, the color will not fade or go peculiar. In fact, the henna and cassia colors will gradually deepen and look more natural.
