Unlock the Secrets of Cassia Powder: My Hair Experiment

Have you ever heard of cassia powder? Often referred to as “colourless henna,” cassia is not henna at all! Instead, it’s a versatile, natural hair treatment that can condition, strengthen, and add shine to your strands. But what about its rumoured ability to give hair a golden tint or even lighten it? That’s what I set out to discover in my latest hair experiment.

Why Cassia?

Cassia powder is known for its ability to:

• Condition Hair Naturally: It smooths the hair cuticle, leaving your strands soft and manageable.

• Add Volume and Shine: Perfect for dull or fine hair, cassia gives your hair a fuller, healthier look.

• Enhance Hair Colour: It’s said to create golden highlights on light-coloured hair when mixed with acidic ingredients like lemon juice.

• Promote Hair Growth: By improving scalp health, cassia can support stronger, longer hair.

Curious about these claims, I decided to test cassia on hair samples to see if it could really deliver on its promises.

The Experiment Setup

To make the results clear, I prepared four hair samples:

1. Cassia + Lemon Juice (left overnight): Known for creating golden hues.

2. Cassia + Lemon-Water Mix (left overnight): To see if a milder mix has a different effect.

3. Cassia + Water (applied immediately): To test its pure conditioning properties.

4. Control Sample: Untreated hair for comparison.

I carefully prepared the cassia pastes, applied them to the hair samples, and kept them warm for a few hours to simulate real application conditions. Then, I rinsed the samples and waited to see the magic unfold!

What Happened Next?

The results were fascinating! Even after the first application, the treated hair samples showed:

• Incredible Shine: The cassia-coated strands reflected light beautifully.

• Golden Highlights: Most noticeable in the lemon juice mix.

• Slight Lightening Effect: Especially with the lemon-cassia combinations.

But that’s not all—I also tested the cassia mixture on my own hair. Did it transform my strands? You’ll have to watch my YouTube video to find out! 😉 

Tips for Using Cassia

If you’re inspired to try cassia on your hair, here are some quick tips:

• The best results come from mixing cassia with lemon juice or a lemon-water blend.

• Let the paste sit for 6–8 hours before applying for the best results.

• Keep your hair warm during the treatment to maximize its effects.

• Avoid shampooing for 48–72 hours after rinsing to let the benefits fully develop.
