Frequently asked questions

Katha, also called catechu, is a tannin-rich powder milled from the heartwood of the Acacia catechu tree. In hair care it is used as a natural conditioning powder, traditionally valued to add body, shine and strength, and to deepen colour when blended with henna. It is applied externally as a simple paste, on its own or as part of a herbal hair pack.
Mix two to three tablespoons with water or curd into a smooth paste. Apply it to damp, sectioned hair from roots to ends, leave on for 20 to 45 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Used once or twice a week, it helps leave hair feeling fuller, softer and glossier.
On its own, Katha gives only a subtle warm tint, so it is mostly used to shape colour rather than as a stand-alone dye. Blended into henna, it deepens bright red tones into richer, warmer browns, and combined with henna and indigo it can help build deeper brown to near-black shades. The exact result depends on your natural hair colour and the ratios you use.
It suits most hair types and is especially loved for limp, oily or dull hair that needs more body and shine. Because it is naturally astringent, very dry or chemically treated hair may prefer it paired with curd or a little oil. As with any new product, do a patch test first to check how your hair and skin respond.
Its high tannin content makes it pleasantly astringent, which is great for limp, greasy roots but can feel a touch drying on already-dry hair. Mixing it with curd, yoghurt or a few drops of oil keeps the paste conditioning and comfortable. Following with your usual conditioner also helps keep lengths soft.
Yes, this is one of its most popular uses in natural hair colour. A small amount of Katha added to henna shifts the result from coppery red towards a richer brown, and adding indigo as well helps build deeper brown to black tones. Only a little Katha is needed, so start with a small ratio and adjust to taste.
Yes, always do a patch test before the first full application, as natural plant powders can occasionally cause sensitivity. Apply a little paste to a small area of skin, wait 24 hours, and proceed only if there is no irritation. Katha is for external use only, and being a natural dye it can lightly stain skin, nails and fabrics.
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use a clean, dry spoon so the powder stays fresh and free-flowing. Slight variation in shade between batches is normal for a pure, single-origin plant powder.
