Hey Ladies,

I hope everyone is having a splendid week. I decided to write in today about Cassia because I literally just ordered two boxes of it! The Product Junkie reveals herself. Though, I must say, I've restrained myself the majority of the time.

So to continue on with the post, I've been thinking about doing a Cassia hair treatment for a couple of weeks now. Cassia powder is similar to Henna, but it is derived from a different plant. When treated on hair, Cassia is said to yield very similar results to Henna like promoting shine and thickness, though the effects are reported not to last as long as Henna. Also, Cassia will not give your hair that reddish tint Henna is famous for -- because the molecules released from the dye are gold/ yellow as opposed to red. So on dark brown hair, I'm pretty sure it won't show.

At first, I didn't mind the red tint from Henna. And to be honest I kind of went a little OD during the first few months of using Henna -- I would do treatments almost every week -- experimenting with different herb combinations and all that. So, of course, after a while my hair got a little too red. And for the most part, that is why I decided to stop.

Though I had some ups and downs with Henna, I still credit a huge part of my hair's overall health to Ayurveda treatments such as Henna. Now, I am looking for a treatment that I can do once a month that is similar to Henna but does not cause a change in color. Looks like Cassia might be an option!

Henna or Cassia, Ladies? What's your preference?
