Luster, Shine & Color

Chemical-based hair products can be damaging and drying for hair. Especially in the summer, when the sun is out and sizzling hot, your hair can really show the wear and tear from years of chemical processing.

eSutras has created some organic, natural, effective and chemical-free herbal hair products that will nourish, condition and improve the strength of your hair, while adding color and depth. They're easy-to-use and can be prepared from the comfort of your own home. There are some definite up-sides to home hair dying with natural herbs and botanicals, like more variety of color range (and the chance for you to play around with mixing colors), better smell (adding essential oils and fragrances make your dyes smell yummy!) and of course, herbs aren't as abrasive on your hair and scalp as chemical dyes.

Dying your hair with eSutras is easy! Chamomile Tea for adding sheen to blond locks. Rosemary for lightening. Cloves and Henna Powder for darkening. Brahmi Hair Oil for moisturizing your scalp and roots. Rose Hips for reddening your mane and Aloe Lavender Shampoo for a refreshing clean.

You can use different herbs - many of which can be found on the eSutras website - to condition any hair type, dye any hair color, de-frizz, voluminize, you name it really. Try elder flowers for dry hair; lemongrass for oily hair; nettle leaf for dandruff; or burdock root for managing frizzy hair!

As for natural hair dyes, eSutras Chamomile Tea combined with lemon juice will create amazingly bright blonde highlights. If used daily, effective results can be seen in just a few weeks! This may seem like a long time - a very time intensive process - but if you think about all those times you've used boxed, chemical dyes, you'll understand the appeal of a longer, gentler process. Remember that chemical dye in your scalp and under your fingernails for days? The acidic fumes of chemical dye? The burning on your scalp during the process? The mess? We promise, slow and steady wins the race!


eSutras Henna Powder and Indigo Leaves, mixed with lemon juice, will give a naturally lush and vivid dark brown or black color, with hints of violet. This was Cleopatra's favorite!

For natural red coloring, try eSutras fresh-cut rosehips or whole cloves mixed with beetroot or carrot juice. If you're looking for red highlights, boil 1/3 cup of crushed marigold flowers in 2 cups of water. Strain and add 1 cup of red wine. Massage into hair and leave in for 30 minutes. Shampoo lightly and voila!

There's a lot more information out there that I don't have the time to include in this post. Read up and get educated before starting this process. Even though these products are natural, they may not always react well with the individual. Always patch test and make sure you're not allergic to anything. Happy Hair Coloring, everybody!

Partake of the beautiful Lotus to inspire your mind. It sedates and seduces..

Lotus - Its God's favorite flower...Its mysticism may also be linked to the  mild narcotic or sedative effects   from flowers that are eaten, smoked or steeped in wine and drank. Also called the world's most beautiful flower, the lotus is the most sacred, and it seems there never was a time when man did not adore it.....Of all the myriad buds and blooms, the most revered and esteemed--by God and man--is the magnificent lotus in the sub continent and all across China and Japan. According to Buddhism and Hinduism, within each human inhabiting the earth is the spirit of the sacred lotus. It represents eternity, purity and divinity and is widely used as a symbol of life, fertility, ever-renewing youth and to describe feminine beauty, especially the eyes. One of the most common metaphysical analogies compares the lotus' perennial rise to faultless beauty from a miry environment to the evolution of man's consciousness--from instinctive impulses to spiritual liberation.
