Hair Care:

• Hair mask from amla powder: Mix amla powder with water to make a paste and apply it to the scalp and hair. Leave on for about 30 minutes and then rinse. This treatment nourishes the scalp, reduces dandruff and adds shine to the hair. If you want, you can mix amla with other caring herbs, oils or henna. Customers often mix amla with cassia powder for thicker, shinier hair.
• Blend of amla and henna: Combination of amla powder and henna not only gives hair a natural shade, but also nourishes it, making it soft and easy to manage. This blend is particularly effective for improving hair texture and addressing scalp problems.

Skin care:

• Amla face mask: Make a paste of amla powder and honey or yogurt. Apply to face, leave on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. This mask lightens the skin tone and gives it a natural glow.
• Amla peeling: mix amla powder with sugar and any carrier oil, such as coconut oilto create a gentle exfoliating scrub. It helps remove dead skin cells and lighten dark spots.

Incorporating these amla practices into your regular beauty routine can lead to healthier hair and more radiant skin, reflecting the time-honoured traditions of Indian women.

Amla is often combined with other natural ingredients:

Ingredients

Amla (Emblica Officinalis), also known as "Amalaki" or "Indian gooseberry".

Colours It's Pure

All It's Pure Organics colour shades have a 100% botanical formulation made from Ayurvedic herbs, the quality of which is guaranteed by a strict cosmetic certificate from Soil Association Organic.

They do not contain any chemicals or inorganic ingredients, PPD, resorcinol, peroxide, ammonia and others. You will also not find any GMO or animal ingredients in them, the paints have not been tested on animals at any stage of production. This makes them also suitable for vegans.

The manufacturer claims that one pack should be enough for average thick hair of about shoulder length. If your hair is long or very thick, get two packs. From my own experience I can say that one pack is enough for 3 times. I only dye the roots, never the whole head. See picture below.

In the package you will find a pair of protective gloves and a hat in addition to detailed instructions for painting.

Henna and indigo based paints need a few hours to oxidize after washing. Therefore, within a few hours, the resulting colour will darken and deepen in shade. See picture below. The colour used is dark brown.

Recommendations

• After dyeing with chemical dyes, we recommend a time gap of 5-6 weeks before using these natural dyes.
• We recommend testing on one hidden strand before applying the colour to the entire head. Especially if you have bleached hair.
• If you get paint on your skin while dyeing, don't worry, it's easy to wash off.
• However, for better skin protection, we recommend applying a thin layer around the hairline before dyeing Of Ultra Nourishing Balm from Odylique.
• We recommend washing coloured hair with a mild herbal shampoo from the brand Odylique or moisturizing shampoo from the brand North American Herb & Spice. Both shampoos have a very gentle composition, they do not contain sulphates, so they do not wash out the colour from the hair, on the contrary, they help to prolong the durability of coloured hair.
• Because henna is drying, we recommend using a good quality conditioner for the hair and once a month hair cureto nourish dry ends.

Attention

Even though the manufacturer tries to formulate their natural colours to be as consistent as possible, there is no guarantee that the colour will catch the same way every time or that the result will be the same on different hair types and colours.

Every hair type is different, porous and absorbs colour differently. The result can vary from batch to batch even for the same shade of paint. As this is a 100% natural colour, the effect of the plant ingredients contained may vary due to the influence of climatic conditions etc.

On chemically lightened hair, this natural colour can also react a little differently. Peroxide-lightened hair can be more porous and because of this, it is impossible to fully predict how it will absorb the colour.

Whether your hair is chemically coloured or its natural shade, we recommend testing the colour on a small hidden strand first before applying it to the whole head to avoid unwanted results.
