What is Katam and what is it used for?
Katam is a natural plant-based dye used to darken and modify the result of henna. It does not work as a standalone dye, but as a complement to adjust the final shade and achieve deeper tones.
What results can you achieve?
- Darker tones without using chemical dyes
- Reduce orange undertones from henna
- Create brown, chocolate or cooler shades
- Customize the final color depending on the mix
How to use Katam
Katam should always be used together with natural copper henna.
- Prepare the copper henna with hot water until you get a smooth paste
- Prepare the Katam in a separate bowl the same way
- Mix both pastes depending on the tone you want to achieve
Suggested proportions:
- Small amount → softer or slightly violet tones
- 50/50 mix → chocolate tones
- More Katam → darker result
Tip: mix both pastes thoroughly to achieve an even and controlled result.

💡 Tip before starting: applying henna is more than just changing your color, it’s a moment to take care of yourself. Take your time, start early and enjoy the process. If you have dreadlocks, make sure they are completely dry before going to bed.
⚠️ Important: if you have previously used chemical hair dye or bleach, wait 3 to 4 weeks before applying henna.

Can I use Katam on its own?
It is not recommended. Katam is designed to be used with henna, as using it alone may result in weak or uneven color.
Is Katam right for me?
It’s ideal if you want to darken your henna result, reduce orange tones or create custom shades naturally.
Does henna always give a copper color?
Pure henna (Lawsonia Inermis) produces a copper tone. Other shades are created by combining it with plant-based dyes like indigo or katam.
Can henna cover grey hair?
Yes, but for full and longer-lasting coverage, a double application is recommended: first a base (copper or neutral), then the final color.
