💡 Conclusion : Whatever your type of dandruff, Sidr works. That's its big advantage versus targeted chemical shampoos.

Not only does it NOT remove it, but it ENHANCES the color! Sidr is traditionally used to rinse henna.

ANCIENT TRADITION:

In the Middle East and North Africa:

• After applying henna, it is traditionally rinsed with Sidr powder
• Used for centuries by women who henna themselves
• Known to prolong and intensify the color

Why this tradition?

• Sidr does NOT alter natural pigments
• It cleans powder residues without stripping
• It enhances the highlights

HOW TO USE WITH HENNA:

WAIT 48-72H after applying henna:

• Henna needs this time to oxidize and set
• Do NOT wash hair for 2-3 days after henna

1ST WASH POST-HENNA:

1. 2 Sidr shampoos (important): 1st shampoo: Removes powder residues 2nd shampoo: Deep cleans
2. Gentle massage: Do not rub too hard (color still fragile) Focus on scalp (often irritated by henna)
3. Very thorough rinsing: Until water runs clear Removes all traces of powder
4. Conditioner on lengths (henna can dry out)

COLOR RESULTS:

✨ Intensifies highlights:

• More vibrant reds
• Deeper chestnuts
• Richer mahoganies

✨ Prolongs color wear:

• Color lasts 2-3 weeks longer
• Less fading

✨ Enhances shine:

• Brighter highlights
• More luminous hair

✨ Unifies color:

• More even distribution
• Less demarcation lines

COMPATIBLE WITH ALL VEGETABLE HAIR COLORS:

✅ Neutral henna (Cassia): Perfect, adds shine without color ✅ Red/copper henna : Enhances warm highlights ✅ Brown henna (+ indigo): Intensifies depth ✅ Black henna (+ indigo): Preserves blue-black highlights ✅ Pure indigo : Does not alter the blue

WHY DOES IT NOT STRIP COLOR?

Henna/Vegetable colors:

• Pigments bind inside the hair fiber
• Not on the surface like chemical dyes

Sidr:

• Gently cleanses without harsh sulfates
• Does not penetrate the fiber to "pull out" pigments
• Respects the integrity of the color

Sulfate shampoos (to avoid):

• ❌ Gradually strip color
• ❌ Henna dulls quickly

HENNA + SIDR TESTIMONIALS:

💬 "I've been hennaing myself for 10 years. I've always used Sidr to rinse, as my Moroccan grandmother taught me. My color stays vibrant for weeks. It's THE secret!"

💬 "I was afraid Sidr would remove my red henna. On the contrary: my highlights are even more intense! And my hair is so soft. Perfect combo."

💬 "Henna + indigo for a dark brown. Sidr cleans without fading the color. Amazing shine. I wouldn't change it for anything."

💡 Conclusion: If you use henna or vegetable dyes, Sidr is your BEST ally! A tradition proven for centuries.

Yes, it naturally foams (pleasant creamy foam) and cleans perfectly thanks to the saponins of Sidr.

NATURAL SAPONINS :

What are they?

• Plant compounds naturally present in Sidr (15-20%)
• "Nature's soap" = mild surfactants
• Create foam without chemical sulfates (SLS/SLES)

Why is it better than sulfates?

• ✅ Effectively cleans without irritation
• ✅ Respects pH and protective film of the scalp
• ✅ Does not irritate (ideal for sensitive scalp)
• ✅ Does not dry out hair and scalp

WHAT TO EXPECT :

Foam :

• Texture : Creamy, soft, smooth
• Quantity : Moderate (less abundant than sulfates)
• Quality : Pleasant, easy to spread

1st application :

• Light to moderate foam
• Normal if hair is loaded with silicones/products

2nd application (same wash) :

• More abundant and creamy foam
• Clean hair foams better

After 2-3 washes :

• Hair "detoxified" from chemical residues
• Satisfactory and consistent foam

TECHNIQUES TO OPTIMIZE FOAM :

✨ Wet VERY thoroughly :

• Hair saturated with water = better foam
• Let water run for 30 seconds

✨ 2 shampoos :

• 1st shampoo: Pre-wash (low foam = normal)
• 2nd shampoo: Abundant creamy foam

✨ Massage well :

• The more you emulsify, the more it foams
• 2-3 minutes of massage = optimal foam

✨ Slightly dilute (optional) :

• Mix with water in hands before application
• Facilitates spreading and foam

IS THE CLEANING EFFECTIVE?

YES, perfectly!

What Sidr removes : ✅ Excess sebum and oils ✅ Dandruff and dead cells ✅ Pollution, dust, particles ✅ Styling product residues ✅ Odors

What Sidr PRESERVES : ✅ Natural protective hydrolipidic film ✅ Balanced scalp pH ✅ Natural hydration ✅ Healthy microbial flora

CLEANING COMPARISON :

Sulfate shampoos :

• Clean "too much" = strips
• Dehydrated, irritated scalp
• Dry, rough hair

Sidr shampoo :

• Balanced, healthy scalp
• Clean AND nourished hair

TRANSITION FROM CHEMICAL SHAMPOOS :

Weeks 1-2 : Adaptation period

• It's normal = detox in progress

Week 3+ :

• Hair accustomed
• Satisfactory foam

• You will never go back to sulfates!

💬 Testimonials :

💬 "At first, less foam than my old shampoo. But my hair was ultra-clean! After 3 weeks: pleasant creamy foam. Sidr cleans better without stripping."
