Hair Loss Awareness: “One Ounce of Prevention”

Countless men and women are affected by hair loss caused by heredity, medical condition and natural factors. Unfortunately, the hair loss of many of other individuals could have been prevented -by avoiding products applied to the hair containing harsh chemicals such as para-phenylenediamene (PPD) -that can potentially cause major damage to hair and health.

Naturally as people age, the inclination is to use measures to retain a youthful look.  Melanin is the pigment that gives the hair color. Since they lose melanin with age, many will use stronger permanent hair color dyes. The final hair color is produce when the hair dye interacts with the melanin. Gray hair is usually harder to dye by this measure because of the dramatically lowered melanin level.  Additionally, permanent chemical dyes can damage the hair shaft, since it becomes thinner and finer as we age.

…. And now for the cliché: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

Dermatologists have recommended the use of all natural pure henna for hair to prevent potential scalp allergy and hair loss caused by the overuse of chemical hair color dyes. Pure henna coats the hair and doesn’t penetrate the hair shaft. The addition of other natural vegetable-based ingredients produces an all-natural hair color dye in various shades such as: golden, red, mahogany, brown, dark brown and soft black.

 Lustrous Henna®. Your ounce of prevention against potential hair loss.

Hi, my name is Krista and I just wanted to share my experience with using Lustrous Henna.

I have naturally curly fine hair that is now 40% gray.  I had been dying my hair with the traditional dyes for years.  Last year my hair was severely damaged by having a professional put a color remover on my hair to remove old, too dark dye. After the application, my hair was what they call "bubble gum" hair in the industry.  It was like rubber when wet and snapped off when it was dry.  I was told that there was no cure for this and I would just have to cut it all off and that I couldn't use any chemicals on it. 

I was searching the internet for a protein treatment that would strengthen my hair.  When I read about the conditioning properties of henna and it colored the gray without chemicals,  I placed an order that day. My before and after picture speak for themselves but let me just tell you more.  After using the Lustrous Henna just one time, my hair was softer and shinier than before it was damaged.  It took about 2 months and 2 more applications of the Lustrous Henna and not blow drying my hair, the breakage stopped.  I work in a spa and the hairstylists that told me I would have to cut it off couldn't believe the recovery my hair made. 

Here are some other benefits I have noticed since using your product.  My hair started sprouting new growth all over my scalp!  My hair is twice as thick (the hair bands I use prove it) as before.  My hair is naturally curly and it is much easier to blow dry straight now.  I had used red dyes before, but they never looked like a natural red, it faded fast and every hair was the same color, not to mention I was putting awful chemicals on my head! 

I just love the multi-tonal highlights that the Lustrous Henna gives my hair.  The streaks in my hair in the picture are not bleached highlights, that is my natural color showing through.  I use the Lustrous Henna Red on the roots of my hair and the natural henna on the rest of my hair to give it depth and to look naturally sun bleached like a child's hair.  I would also like to mention that I have gotten wonderful customer service from Saba Botanical.  I have spoken to Syed on the phone for advice on colors and application and he is a wonderful, knowlegeable person.  My orders have arrived in the mail the same week I ordered them. 

Thank You for saving my hair with your wonderful product.  I will be a loyal customer for years to come.

P.S.

I guess what I should have said.  My hair is still very naturally curly, always has been, but I blow dry it straight and use a chi straightening iron.  Using the henna has made it much easier to blow dry straight.  I wear it both curly and straight or curl it in big loose wings with a curling iron.  That's one of the points I was trying to convey to customers with naturally curly hair in that the henna makes it a lot easier to straighten it.
