Ashpveda Organic Brown Hair Color Powder is a chemical-free, Ayurvedic hair dye that imparts a natural brown hue while nourishing your hair and scalp. Here's a detailed, science-backed overview:
1. Henna (Lawsonia inermis)
Henna contains lawsone, a natural dye molecule that binds to keratin in hair, imparting a reddish hue. When used with indigo, it helps achieve a natural brown color. Henna also has antifungal and antimicrobial properties, which can help maintain scalp health and reduce dandruff.
2. Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria)
Indigo powder, derived from the indigo plant, contains indican, which oxidizes to form the blue dye indigotin. When applied after henna, it reacts to produce a rich brown color. Indigo also has conditioning properties that can make hair feel softer and more manageable.
3. Amla (Phyllanthus emblica)
Amla is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help strengthen hair follicles, promote hair growth, and prevent premature graying. Its nourishing properties also add shine and luster to the hair.
4. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri)
Brahmi is known for its calming effects on the scalp and its ability to strengthen hair roots, reducing hair fall and promoting thicker hair growth.
5. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis)
Aloe Vera is renowned for its moisturizing properties, helping to condition the hair, reduce dandruff, and maintain the pH balance of the scalp.
