Katam: The Natural Hair Dye Revolution
Katam, which grows in Yemen (Buxus dioica), has been used for centuries as a dye to help create truly memorable deep dark hair colors. This article will explain what katam is, the benefits of katam, and reveal how to use katam on hair to achieve naturally beautiful results that are highly effective for grey coverage and darker shades.
What is Katam?
Katam, or Buxus dioica, is a natural hair dye derived from the katam plant leaves that grow in the high mountains of Yemen. Katam is a natural hair dye and does not contain any chemicals (like synthetic hair dyes, which usually require ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, and other various additional chemicals). Katam is a 100% natural product that produces a hair color by staining the outside layer of each strand of hair (the outer layer of the hair doesn’t become damaged like in the process of dyeing with synthetic hair coloring).
People often describe katam as a dark green powder that produces a nearly black color with visible violet or purple highlights, which is different from other plant dyes like henna and indigo. Katam has been frequently referred to as “black henna”, but they are distinctly a different herb with unique properties, and katam should not be described as indigo (and addressed as the “real” henna), which primarily produces cool, blue-shaded hair colors.
Conclusion
Katam is much more than a natural dye for hair. It is a combination of rich color and hair health benefits and is also environmentally friendly. Katam can be used as a stand-alone product for brown shades or can be combined with henna and indigo to create deeper, blacker shades and purple highlights. Katam is a safe and effective alternative to chemical dyes. Katam, if properly prepared and applied, can produce fabulous, long-lasting results and also nourish hair at a micro-level. Katam, as well, will have its moment in the beauty industry now that natural solutions are gaining traction. Katam will add to plant-based hair care and offer a vibrant, environmentally conscious way to color and treat hair.
