What is Katam?

Katam powder (Buxus dioica) is a natural plant-based hair dye that has been used for centuries in Arab and Islamic traditions as a safe and effective way to color hair and cover gray. Derived from the dried and finely ground leaves of a wild shrub, Katam provides rich, natural shades of brown or black while also nourishing the hair and scalp.

This premium Katam powder is a chemical-free alternative to synthetic dyes, giving your hair not only beautiful color but also strength, shine, and improved health.
