“Today, I’m Going to Damage My Hair with Chemical Hair Dye!”

Okay, we know that the above statement is absurd. Totally ridiculous.
However,  for a number of users, the consequences of using chemical hair dye are definitely serious. No one wants an allergic skin reaction to synthetic hair dyes. Yet, most individuals are unaware of the extent of harm that can be caused.

To understand why our hair, scalp and skin become damaged, it’s important to learn a little something about: our hair.
Human hair is a protein fiber made of two layers. The inner layer called the cortex contains melanin. Melanin is a pigment that gives your hair shades of blonde, black, auburn or brown. The cortex is covered by another layer called the cuticle. The cuticle provides protection to the cortex and luster to your hair. The cuticle is inert in nature, so it cannot biologically or chemically absorb any color.
Hair loss
Why can hair loss occur after using permanent hair dyes?
Permanent hair dye penetrates the cuticle of the hair, damaging it. The hair is exposed to para-phenylenediamine (PPD), hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and other harsh chemicals, causing overlapping of cuticular seates to lift from the hair cortex, thereby leading to rapid loss of amino acid. By removing the proteins that build the structural strength, the hair shaft is weakened with every application. The chemical damage results in an easily fractured hair shaft and eventual hair loss.

Healthy Hair
Save your hair and keep it healthy and strong.

Dermatologists recommend using a 100% natural plant-based dye, (like Lustrous Henna®). Pure henna colors your hair by coating the hair shaft. It provides thickness to hair and bonds as a semi-permanent color. The next application reinforces this effect and results in increased strength and shine for healthier hair.

“Today, I’m Going to Beautify My Hair with Lustrous Henna®
–and Love It!”
======================================================
Krista 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.
