and well reputed manufacturer and exporter of high class herbal henna and
henna based hair colors. We always strive to manufacture our products as per
global standards in quality and specifications. Our range of hair colors is

Natural Hair Colors Cosmetics works on the research, development and application of
hair colors. We have chemical technicians, laboratory assistants, chemists
working for us, who perform in our in-house laboratories everything from
chemical analyses of the first formulations of the color to the final
technical application tests. The experts evaluate the new product with
regard to user friendliness, color result, color sensitiveness and
durability. The product is made available to the consumers only after this
decisive phase has been completed successfully .
The different tests that our team undertakes to produce good quality herbal
henna and hair colors are as follows:
Hypersensitivity
Test
Hypersensitive test relate to a method for carrying out occlusive
epicutaneous tests or patch tests to determine contact allergies to some
specific substance or for testing or determining allergenic and/or irritant
properties of a substance. This test is also popularly known as "TRUE
test".
What We Do?
First a formula is developed, chemically analyzed and tested in the
laboratory. Here the substance suspected to have allergenic or irritant
properties, in our case the hair colors, is applied to normal skin under
occlusion for a certain period of time and checked for irritation, itching,
reddening, swelling or inflammation. We make sure that the hair color that
we produce do not produce any such reactions, so that they are applicable to
all hair and skin types.
How We Do?
We ensure that the hypersensitive test is done on our team members in our
laboratory before the color is made available to consumers in the market. To
determine whether a person is hypersensitive to hair coloring, we do the
following:
- Clean a small area on the inner fold of the elbow or behind ear,
extending partly into the hairline or upon the inner surface of the
forearm with soap and water.
- Dry the area properly .
- Prepare a test solution/paste by mixing a few drops of the exact
color with water.
- Apply the paste to that area and allow it to dry.
- After few hours, the area is washed with water. If no reaction is
experienced in or around the test area, it implies that no
hypersensitivity to the colorant exists and the hair coloring can be
applied immediately.
Note: We also advise our customers to undergo this test.
Strand
Test
Natural Hair Colors produces a huge range of herbal based hair colors like
Natural Black, Burgundy Mahogany Brown, Chestnut Brown, Golden Brown, Orange
and Lemon hair colors. In order to ensure that we produce the exact color,
we undergo strand test on varied hair samples. We also advise our customers
to undertake this test before using it so that the color looks exactly the
way they desire.
What We Do?
A strand test is a reliable method to "preview" the new color.
This is one step which should not be avoided. The strand test not only
ensures that we get the right color but it also helps in finding out whether
you have an allergy to the product's ingredients. Through partial
colorations, our experts compare the color result of the test product with
the original color or other colorations. We always conduct laboratory tests
for hair colors on "standardized" hair, that is, on a blend of
real hair.
While undertaking this test, adjustments can be made to the hair color
formula either by adding or subtracting colors to enhance or reduce
different undertones in the test strands.
How We Do?
The strand test is done in the following manner:
- Choose a strand of hair to test.
- Prepare a small quantity of hair color mixture.
- Apply about 1 tsp. of hair color to the selected test strand. We
make sure that the hair is coated thoroughly and evenly from root to
tip.
- Allow it to dry.
- Wash after a few hours.
- Now check the color.
To get a lighter or darker shade, the length of time that the color is
left on can be varied. In case we are not getting the desired color, we work
on the formula again to get the right color. We also recommend our customers
to do this teat. Always thoroughly dry the test strand to check for proper
color and breakage/damage.
