Discover the traditional hair-care benefits of Cassia Obovata, commonly known as Neutral Henna or Colourless Henna. Native to parts of Africa and Asia, Cassia Obovata is traditionally dried and finely ground into a botanical powder for use in natural hair-care routines.
Although often called neutral henna, Cassia Obovata is not true henna (Lawsonia inermis). It is generally referred to as βcolourless hennaβ because it does not provide the characteristic red-orange colour associated with henna.
