Why These Ingredients Matter
Walnut Leaves (Juglans regia):
Naturally rich in pigments and tannins that gently darken hair and strengthen the roots.
Potato Peels:
Contain starch and natural compounds that boost shine and support hair’s natural tone.
Rosemary:
Improves circulation to the scalp, strengthens follicles, promotes regrowth, and may gradually darken grays.
Sage:
Deepens hair color and provides antioxidants to support scalp health.
Black Tea:
Packed with tannins and antioxidants, it enhances color and adds luster.
Cloves:
Stimulate the scalp, promote hair growth, and offer antimicrobial properties to keep the scalp balanced.
