Cassia for Conditioning Only

I found this post on how to use cassia in the CurlyNikki Forum.  The results are phenomenal! Hair doesn't get any healthier than this.

Cassia for Blondes

Cassia Obovata is a plant that is applied to the hair for conditioning.  This plant is great for blondes, particularly if you are trying to restore your hair from a bad dye or bleach job. 

Here's how to dye your faded or graying blond hair with cassia obovata:
  • Mix cassia with enough lemon juice or orange juice to make a paste as thick as yogurt.  Let the paste sit about 12 hours.  Section your hair and apply the cassia thick, as you would cake frosting into all the sections and down to the scalp. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap to contain the slop.   Leave the paste in three hours.   Rinse out and shampoo.  Your gray or faded blond hair should feel heavy, thick and silky, and have a lovely youthful golden color.

As with all things new, especially for hair, you need to give the treatments with consistency for at least six months before you notice startling results.
