No violet reflections - does it really contain katam?
Katam is supposed to give violet reflections, but this mixture gave me the typical reflections of a mixture of henna + indigo. I do not think there was any katam in my packet. I have used katam in the past and it made my naturally dark hair look black with some very faint violet reflections (just as pure indigo gives very faint blue reflections). This mixture gave my hair a very dark chocolate colour, which is not what I wanted (though the colour itself is not bad), but what I really hate about it is that it gave me the dreaded coppery reflections from henna (which is NOT supposed to be in this mixture, at all!) which I hate because they clash with my skin tone. I have to say that I am very disappointed, because I trusted this brand and never thought they would sell a henna & indigo mixture as pure katam powder.

Perfect, but...
I bought katam and crespino to rid my hair of yellow hues that cassia gives it, but neither work perfectly for my hair (crespino did nothing at all). Katam gives it a red-ish yet violet and cool shade. If I am too generous with the katam in my mixture, my hair gets about two tones darker, but it fades gradually.
Once it went a little green, but all in all, I love using it to balance the hue of my hair (sort of).Was this rating helpful? (4) (3)

Excellent natural product
Like another customer, I also had concerns that my third order of katam from Ecco Verde might be indigo, I emailed Phitofilos, and they wrote me back a very patient and detailed email explaining everything from how they cultivate long relationships with their growers and vendors, to the molecular composition of katam and indigo, to their own refining process. It turns out I had just received a batch of katam that was of such excellent, strong quality that I thought it was indigo. It is very difficult to find genuine katam, and the fact that Phitofilos has committed to support and provide a market for the growers of Yemeni henna and katam speaks to their integrity as a company, especially because the war in Yemen makes it especially challenging. As with all natural products, the beauty of using katam and henna is that it puts you in dialogue with the earth, so this was a reminder to me to be more attentive to the seasonal variations in the product. Phitofilos is a good, trustworthy company and I am happy to be able to purchase their products here.
