Indian women have long used various Ayurvedic herbs and oils to take care of their hair. Ayurveda is an ancient healing system based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a balance between the body, mind and spirit. Ayurvedic treatments help to achieve this balance and make the hair healthier. If you’re looking for an Ayurvedic hair treatment, check out Henna Hair Mask with Herbs by Aasha Herbals.
Aasha Herbals is a Russian-Indian cosmetic brand that offers natural beauty products based on Ayurvedic recipes combined with the achievements of modern cosmetology and pharmaceutical science. Unlike mass-market hair care products with silicones that make the hair look good for a while but don’t actually make it healthy, hair masks by Aasha Herbals have a strong healing effect. They provide the hair with essential nutrients, improve its structure, prevent split ends, and restore the hair’s natural shine and elasticity.
One of the brand’s most popular products is henna hair mask with Ayurvedic herbs. It is designed to make the hair stronger, softer, tamer and shinier, as well as to prevent common scalp problems such as dandruff, itchy and flaky scalp etc. The key ingredient contained in the product is the so-called neutral henna. Unlike the henna dye prepared from the plant Lawsonia inermis, neutral henna is produced from Italian senna (Senna italica or Cassia obovata). Neutral henna doesn’t change the colour of the hair, it only makes it thicker, stronger and glossier.
Alongside neutral henna, the mask contains a blend of Ayurvedic herbs that includes neem, shikakai, amla, tulasi, and rosemary. Other active ingredients that can be found in the product are menthol and tea tree oil. Menthol soothes irritated scalp and has a pleasant cooling effect, while tea tree oil has antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It prevents irritation and inflammation, soothes flaky and itchy scalp, and speeds up the healing of scratches caused by a comb or hair pins.
Each of the ingredients contained in Aasha Herbals henna hair mask is widely used in Ayurveda as a hair treatment. For example, shikakai (Acacia concinna) is traditionally used as a shampoo because its fruit contain high levels of saponins, which are foaming agents with natural detergent properties. While shikakai doesn’t produce a high amount of lather, it is considered a good cleanser. It has a naturally low pH and doesn’t strip the hair of natural oils. Shikakai also acts as a detangler, making the hair tamer and more manageable.
Neem (Azadirachta indica) is considered to be one of the best herbal antiseptics. Its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties are similar to tea tree oil, so these two ingredients perfectly complement each other. Neem relives itchy scalp, prevents flaking and dandruff, strengthens hair roots, and makes the hair healthier and shinier.
Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), also known as Indian gooseberry, is reputed to contain high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that has strong antioxidant properties, tannins, and flavonoids. Amla neutralises the harmful effects of free radicals, has a toning and rejuvenating effect on the scalp, stimulates microcirculation, strengthens hair roots, and prevents premature grey hair.
The mask also contains tulasi (holy basil) and rosemary. These herbs provide hair follicles with nutrients (vitamins A, C and E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, zinc) and have a refreshing effect on the scalp.
