Henna Powder / Maruthani Podi
Henna, or Marudhani, is far more than a decorative dye; it is a biological "sealant" for the hair cuticle. While synthetic hair colors use ammonia to break into the hair shaft—causing long-term damage—Ayini Henna Powder works by binding to the keratin in your hair, creating a protective layer that adds strength and thickness. It contains Lawsone, a natural tannin that provides a rich, auburn tint while simultaneously acting as a biological coolant for the head. At Ayini, we use organic, triple-sifted leaves from the Sojat region, ensuring a smooth, clump-free paste with maximum dye release and scalp-soothing properties.

💡 How to Prepare / Use (Step-by-Step)
The "Rich Auburn" Hair Mask: Mix the powder with warm water (or brewed black tea/coffee for a darker stain) to form a thick, yogurt-like paste. Let it sit for 4 to 6 hours to allow the dye to release. Apply to clean hair, leave for 2 hours, and rinse with plain water.
The Deep Conditioner: Mix 2 tablespoons of Henna powder with curd or an egg white. Apply for 30 minutes before washing. This won't impart much color but will leave the hair incredibly soft and voluminous.
The Cooling Scalp Treatment: Mix with a little water and a few drops of coconut oil. Apply to the scalp for 20 minutes during peak summer months to naturally lower body temperature and soothe heat-related headaches.
The Gray Coverage Boost: For a darker, near-black shade, use our Henna powder as step one of a "Two-Step Indigo Treatment." Apply Henna first, rinse, and then apply Indigo powder the following day for a natural, permanent dark finish.
