A fun way to cool down when you’re feeling a little toasty is to apply cold cassia on a hot day. It’s a nice refreshing feel on the scalp. It’s like that snack you can’t get enough of.
Hair Prep
As always you want to start with freshly cleaned and clarified hair. Applying Rainwash was easy. Taking ¼ inch sections, I got through and applied evenly. While I let the Rainwash sit on my hair for 40 minutes, I mixed my cassia up. I washed my hair the night before and braided it up, so I could apply in the morning.
The Mixing
I mixed 200 grams of Clarity Cassia with orange juice to sit overnight for about 10 hours at room temperature. Then to get that cool effect, I put my paste in the fridge for 2 hours.

Time to get started!
I was a little bit skeptical at first, wondering if the paste would be too cold. So, I tested the water, like you do in the pool. I tapped a small amount of paste to my front hairline. I was AMAZED! It was like the icy feeling of chewing mint gum.
I started applying the paste in the back of my head. Taking my ¼ inch sections, from the top, I worked my way down to the bottom. After about an hour I had all of my hair covered and was feeling cooled off.
My hair feels great! Styled and done, I can see the difference. My ends aren’t as crazy and twist very well. I would definitely apply cold cassia on a hot day again. Stay cool!

You can mix cassia and indigo. You can see what the results may resemble here: http://www.hennaforhair.com/faq/Clarity_cassia-auriculata.pdf
Indigo creates a blue shade, so the cassia dilutes that a little bit. You can also use a large amount of cassia with a small amount of henna and indigo for more of a blonde shade.
