Cassia Obovata: strong, shiny and voluminous hair without dyeing
Do you know which is the ideal plant for strengthening hair without dyeing it? Cassia Obovata, a plant with multiple vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
We should always have a packet of Cassia Obovata at home. It is like a vitamin shot for the hair, a multivitamin for manes in need of energy and a natural anti-hair loss treatment. It has the same properties as Henna, but does not pigment. And although it is advisable to apply it all year round, applying it in spring and autumn is a very good idea because it combats hair loss. It can also be used at the end of summer for hair that needs an extra boost of energy but does not want to dye it.
The characteristics of Cassia Obovata to prepare this treatment
Cassia Ovobata has a keratin-like structure which is used to strengthen hair. The cuticle of this plant allows it to associate naturally with each hair and thus protects it from external agents.
It is an excellent natural hair conditioner, totally botanical, because it is 100% crushed leaf. It helps us to have a pH-balanced scalp, so it balances the greasiest or driest hair from the root. With the use of Cassia Obovata you will be able to regulate this pH to a neutral state.
In addition, in general, this treatment will help to strengthen the hair and provide shine and volume.
How is this treatment prepared?
Prepare the Cassia Obovata in a bowl with hot water. Add the water and mix until you get a chocolate texture. Carefully add 4 tablespoons of a hair oil (choose the one that suits your hair type) or a small piece of melted Shea Butter in a bain-marie (a small piece the size of a walnut is enough) to the mixture. When the texture is right, you can apply it from roots to ends and leave it on the hair for 60 minutes.
Why do we add oil to the mixture? This plant is a bit astringent, and without oil, you would have a rough feeling when you run your hand through it after the treatment. Instead, adding the healthy fats in the oils (vitamins E, D, A and K) seals and repairs the hair's natural lipid layer, creating a protective layer on each strand to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration.
