Metallic salts are metallic compounds used in nearly all standard store-bought hair dyes. They’re sold as “progressive” hair dyes that blend and “look more natural over time.” These dyes are metallic-based. The colors are produced by a reaction between metallic salts and the sulfur in your hair protein. The metallic salts interact with the sulfur […]
Sulfates are detergents (lather makers) used in many cosmetic products: shampoos and soaps. The main nasty to avoid is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate(SLS). Sulfates can irritate the skin and scalp with regular use. Many blame SLS for the rise in dry skin disorders and dandruff problems. The detergents are just too strong for regular use; they […]
PPD is short for Paraphenylenediamine(PPD); a chemical substance widely used as a permanent hair dye, textile/fur dye, dark colored cosmetic dye, and temporary tattoo dye. It can be chemically engineered in three different ways, but its really one chemical. PPD is primarily used as a component of industrial engineered composites and polymers: printing inks, black […]
Do a simple strand and spot test. Mix a small amount of the product and dye some harvested hair from your comb or brush. And locate a safe place on your skin (behind ear, forearm) to spot test the skin. Remember, make the sample the consistency of ketchup and wait the appropriate transition period to […]

Potent botanical remedies are harvested from the leaves, pods, and seeds of this flowering Senna legume tree. Cassia conditions the hair, and shares in some of the hair treatment qualities of henna, but it does […]
Yes, our dyes are permanent. Once applied, rinsed, and matured(48 hrs), that will be your hair color until it grows out, or is cut off. *Please Note: initial uptake of the natural colors may take two to three applications. And color will fade from the hair under certain stress, similar to traditional chemical hair dyes. […]
Keep in mind: We don’t add any perfumes, synthetic fragrances, or fragrant essential oils to our Hair or Beard dyes. We kept them out to let you control the experience (many of these additives are known allergens and cause adverse reactions—not what “natural product” customers want). Henna, indigo, and all the additional herbs, have their […]
Body Art Quality Henna(BAQ) simply refers to the grade/quality and the processing procedure of the henna crop. Like produce (fruit & vegetables) or coffee beans, henna has a selection tier. And BAQ Henna is the first-chosen crop, selected for its hearty growth characteristics: deep red stems and crimson leaf-vein network—both ensure rich lawsone(henna pigment) content. […]
All pre-mixed henna products (paste or liquid) contain chemicals and preservatives. Henna, once in liquid or mixed with liquids, reacts, releases its pigment and can quickly lose color potency. This can be counteracted by adding retarding chemicals and artificial dyes (essentially making it an industry standard, chemical-based hair dyeing product). Fresh henna/henna-herbal powders are the […]
