The secret to beautiful hair…….Women of India
have known the secret of this wonderful, natural hair treatment for thousands
of years and the knowledge has been passed on so that now we can all enjoy the
benefits of this amazing gift of Nature.
Who needs scientific
labs and chemical formulations when we can look to nature for all of our Beauty
Care needs.
The Earth has
provided us with a wonderful plant known as AMALAKI or Amla for short. This
small tree grows wild in the surrounds of the hills of Northern India and has
been harvested by the local people for generations. When this plant is in fruit
you can find berries that contain one of the richest known sources of vitamin
C. These berries, along with other parts of the plant are renowned for their
rejuvenating properties & are used in many traditional Ayurvedic medicines
throughout India and the world.
Women have been
using this fruit of nature to achieve radiant shiny hair since before time.
This knowledge, which was passed down and survived the tests of time has now
come to us when we need it most in this age of chemical overload.

Cassia comes from the Senna family & is grown in many areas including India & Egypt. The leaves of this plant are dried
& crushed into a powder and used as a hair treatment. Cassia is sometimes
referred to as “neutral” or “clear” henna when in fact it is not henna at all! Understandably
this can cause some confusion.
When used on the hair, Cassia
will act as a conditioner & leave the hair silky smooth & healthy. It
is also known to fight dandruff as it has mild anti-fungal properties.
Desert Shadow Cassia is
natural & can be used in all of our Natural Hair Colours to give that extra
conditioning effect.
Cassia can be used alone as
a conditioner to help repair dry or damaged hair. It will bring dull hair back
to life and is especially beneficial for naturally light or blonde hair.
It can also be added to
your Desert Shadow Natural Hair Colours to add that little something extra
which will give a yummy shine & leave your hair thick &healthy.
