Additional Info

Nilini is an Ayurvedic hair colour made using traditional Ayurvedic ingredients. It is India’s first and only hair colour without Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Perborate and Ammonia. These bleaching chemicals are known to weaken the hair shaft, trigger hair fall and increase greys over time.

Nilini instead uses a carefully balanced blend of herbs to deposit a deep, natural black tone on grey hair. The formula is designed for people with normal skin type who want an effective, bleach‑free alternative to harsh chemical dyes. If you have sensitive or allergy‑prone skin, or any known hair dye allergy, we do not recommend using this product and strongly advise reading the patch test instructions first.

⛔ Not for eyelashes or eyebrows
⛔ Not recommended for sensitive or allergic skin or anyone with past hair dye allergies

Such an amazing product 👏 I really really do love this hair colouring product.Its most amazing quality is it doesn't have that intense chemical smell which usually all hair colours have; so that it gives a feeling that it's truly natural and it won't leave that black patches on skin after wash... easy to apply... Truly amazing 🤩

I absolutely love Nilini hair color!
I have been using Nilini hair color from Shesha Ayurveda and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. The application is so easy and the product quality is top-notch. The color payoff is fantastic, and it has a natural, pleasant smellunlike other chemical hair dyes. Not only did I use it for my beard, where the color lasted up to a week, but I also tried it on my grey hair and the results were amazing and color lasted for more than 20 days. I highly recommend Nilini to anyone looking for a natural and effective hair color solution. Thank you, Shesha Ayurveda, for creating such a wonderful product!

Still using chemical hair colors ?  ️Do you know, chemical hair colors contain harmful chemicals like ammonia and hydrogen peroxide which can damage your HAIR and increase GREYS. ️Hydrogen peroxide present in chemical hair dyes is going to bleach your hair and it can damage your healthy hair by spreading GREYS. ‘Nilini’ is an 'Ayurvedic’ hair coloring kit that helps to add color(black), shine and lustre to hair. Nilini is created to simplify and shorten the usual hair color process that involves application of henna and indigo separately which is a time consuming process. NO Bleach, NO Ammonia, NO Peroxides, NO PerboratesThis product is inspired from the Mural Art of Kerala. Centuries ago our ancestors invented natural colors and these colors were used on the walls of the temples, monuments, rocks etc. These colors never faded and is still existing. Even with the rains, extreme weather conditions etc. We still see those colors. Shesha Ayurveda’s star product – NILINI is based on this above concept of Mural Art of Kerala. The ingredients selection as well the highly complex manufacturing process makes this a wonder product. Unlike chemical hair dyes that penetrate the cortex of the hair shaft, henna works by binding to the keratin protein in the outer layer of the hair, known as the cuticle - NILINI is not manufactured using any bleaching agents or ammonia etc. which penetrates to hair shaft and works. NILINI is a Ayurvedic hair color and it works in coloring only the grey hair and not upcoming hair. NILINI stays upto 15-20 days and then grey starts coming, for new grown hair too, grey starts and user will have to reapply.
