The Power of the Flower: Lawsonia Inermis, The Henna Story Continues. Pt. 1

Just when you thought you knew all about the henna plant, henna body art and even Lustrous Henna® 100% All-Natural Hair Dye… the Henna story continues.

Henna Plant Botanical Review

Botanical name: Lawsonia inermis. Common name(s): Henna, Mehendi, Menhdi (Hindi). Plant Family: Lythraceae (Crape Myrtle family). 

For centuries, henna has been a symbol of festivity in India. It’s stain is used as body art, especially associated with marriage ceremonies in north India. It is known in the West Indies as “Egyptian privet” or “reseda”. It’s mentioned in the Bible as “camphire”. Its flowers are some of the most fragrant on earth. It is native to Asia and North Africa, but also widely cultivated in tropical countries.  

The leaf of the henna plant contains a dye called, “lawsone” or “hennotannic acid”. Lawsone is primarily concentrated in the leaves of the henna plant. The lawsone extract from the henna plant has been used for literally centuries to dye the hair, skin, fingernails, leather and wool. The chemical reaction between lawsone and the protein keratin in skin and hair results in a strong permanent stain. In our next blog post, we’ll highlight the beauty of the flower and its benefits.  

Share this wealth of knowledge with others and encourage them to use all-natural skin and hair care products, such as those offered by Saba Botanical of USA. For a truly natural hair color dye, use Lustrous Henna®. Men and women who want to enhance their natural hair color, cover gray hair and desire healthy, supple hair attest to the benefits of Lustrous Henna®.
 

Another Lustrous Henna testimonial ®

Dear Syed,

I Love Lustrous Henna. I've been meaning to write to you about your excellent product. I used Lustrous Henna this weekend and it was by far the best experience and result I've had from a henna-based product. The creamy formula was easy to apply and rinse out (unlike so many other henna products I've tried), and the color is vibrant. I achieved much better coverage of my grays than with any other product and I intend to keep on using it. Also, I'm going to bring your pamphlet to a local health food store and praise Lustrous Henna to the max! Thanks so much for a great product, Syed. I found that with my hair I needed about 3/4 of a package for one application, and will use the remainder for touch-ups. I hope this finds you well --- it was so pleasant chatting with you. All the best,
Doretta W.

Can Chemical Hair Dye Ingredients Be Absorbed into Your Skin?

Let me direct you to sources of scientific studies that will enable you to know the facts about chemical ingredients used in most mass-marketed hair dyes.

These studies not only discuss: PPD (para-phenylenediamine), but they also contain vital information regarding: para toluene Diamine (p-toluenediamine or TDA).

Excerpts of Science Direct Articles and Product Safety Summary

ScienceDirect - Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology : The absorption of p-toluenediamine through human skin in hair dyeing http://bit.ly/ieDi58 ScienceDirect - Food and Cosmetics Toxicology : 1818. Beauty more than skin deep : : Kiese, M. & Rauscher, Elli (1968). The absorption of p-toluenediamine through human skin in hair dyeing. Toxic. appl. Pharmac. 13, 325 http://bit.ly/fbfzrd Product Safety Summary- http://www2.basf.us/corporate/ehs/pss_pdfs/TolueneDiamineProductSafetySummary.pdf

Personal use of hair dyes and the risk of bladder cancer findings

Personal use of hair dyes and the risk of bladder cancer: results of a meta-analysis. Michael Huncharek and Bruce Kupelnick. Division of Radiation Oncology, Department of Clinical Oncology, Marshfield Clinic Cancer Center, Marshfield, WI, USA. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the methodology of observational studies that explored an association between personal use of hair dye products and the risk of bladder cancer. CONCLUSION: The available epidemiological data suggest an association between personal use of hair dye products and increased risk of bladder cancer. For more details view results of meta-analysis. http://1.usa.gov/hvcRYN  

The answer to the title question is obvious and you will find it with simple research. Therefore, protect your body from permanent harm by avoiding the accumulative allergen properties found in PPD or immediate skin allergy that is possible with TDA.

Choose a proven safe alternative that will not only naturally color your hair but actually improves hair health and luster:

Lustrous Henna® 100% natural vegetable-based hair color dye (in 9 natural shades.)

Another testimonial about Lustrous Henna ®

Dear Syed~

I am writing this note to let you know that your Henna product worked extremely well on my hair. I am about 60% + silver and was a dark brunette. I tried other henna products, especially for gray hair, but nothing worked. I almost gave up. I refused to use chemical dyes on my hair, because they are not good for your health. Pregnant women are warned not to dye their hair. What a surprise! Anyway, I did more research hoping to find another natural product that would dye my hair without chemicals. I finally found your Henna product and tried it. I was so happy to find that it made my hair dark brown with some of my silver turning a very dark copper when in the sun. The other products couldn't deal with my silver hair the same way. A lot of the hair barely took on a strawberry blonde shade. I needed to have my natural color back.

The henna has lasted 26 days so far without much color fade. I wash my hair every other day, so I would think I would have less fading, but it is wonderful to say the least. Just from experience sake, you must rinse your hair well the first time. I found that I didn't do that well enough so the second and third washing has some residual color in the water, but it wasn't extreme. After that I had no residual color in the water when I rinsed my hair. Also, keep an old towel handy for henna drip during the application and while it is on your head, or it will drip down your neck and back. Again, I couldn't be happier with this henna product. It is worth my effort. It is worth my health.

Sincerely, Stephanie S. Los Angeles, California

The Power of the Flower: Neem (Azadirachta indica)

Azadirachta indica (Neem)

is a tree in the mahogany family and is native to India, Burma, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Pakistan, growing in tropical and semi-tropical regions. In East Africa it is also known as Muarubaini (Swahili), which means the tree of the 40, as it is said to treat 40 different diseases. Neem is a fast-growing, evergreen tree that can reach a height of about 50–65 feet (15–20 m).The (white and fragrant) flowers are 5–6 mm long and 8–11 mm wide.

In India, the tree is variously known as "Sacred Tree," "Heal All," "Nature's Drugstore," "Village Pharmacy" and "Panacea for all diseases."

Products made from neem tree have been used in India for over 2000 years for their medicinal properties: Neem products have been observed to be anthelmintic, antifungal, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral, contraceptive and sedative. Neem products are also used in selectively controlling pests in plants. It is considered a major component in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine and is particularly prescribed for skin disease. All parts of the tree are said to have medicinal properties (seeds, leaves, flowers and bark) and are used for preparing many different medical preparations.

Neem Oil is used for preparing hair and skin cosmetics

(Soap, neem shampoo - Sunsan herbal, balms and creams, for example: Margo soap), and is useful for skin care such as acne treatment, and keeping skin elasticity. Neem oil has been found to be an effective mosquito repellent. Neem oil has been used for centuries to eliminate dandruff and head lice. Traditionally, a tea is made from neem leaves and is used as a rinse to prevent hair loss. Neem treatments soothe irritations, prevent dryness and flaking and nourish the scalp, improving its general immunity and health.  

Try this suggestion from the Neem Foundation.* Massage Neem oil mixed with coconut or olive oil into hair and leave for 1 hour. Shampoo, using Lustrous Henna Shampoo Powder® or Imbue ™Natural Shampoo. Repeat once weekly for 3 weeks or as long as necessary.

Be Kind to Your Hair. Use Lustrous Henna Hair Color Dye. Be Safe.

Human hair is a protein. It’s soft. It’s delicate. It represents your personality.

Therefore, be kind to your hair when you decide to color or bring out the beauty of its highlights. By using 100% All-Natural Lustrous Henna® you can protect your hair from potential PPD reaction and be safe. Most hair dyes currently being sold across the globe contain harmful chemicals that can damage your hair, cause serious allergies to your scalp and skin, as well as irrecoverable damages.

Harmful Reactions caused by para-phenylenediamine (PPD) include:

• Dermatitis to the upper eyelids or the rims of the ears.
• Reddening and swelling of the scalp and face.
• Black circles around eyes, scalp and cheek
• The eyelids may completely close in some cases.
• People working with PPD, such as hairdressers, may develop dermatitis on their hands.

“Oh well, I’m not allergic to chemical hair dyes and I’ve been using them for years,” You might think.

Did you know that an adverse reaction to chemical dyes can occur at any time, even after several years of use? Many dermatologists, naturopaths and doctors recommend using a plant or vegetable-based natural hair color dye. Lustrous Henna® is exactly that and it comes in 9 different natural hair color shades to highlight your natural beauty. All shades of Lustrous Henna® are composed of botanical ingredients. Be confident. Be kind to your hair. But, remember to be safe.

Use 100% All-Natural Lustrous Henna® Hair Color Dye.

Another testimonial about Lustrous Henna®

I'm a 54 yrs. old "natural" brunette and LOVE Lustrous Henna and their wonderful customer service with Syed. A few months ago I was diagnosed with Lymphoma at Mayo Clinic with follow up 3 mos. visits to a Hematologist, blood specialist there. I then began to think about changing some of my lifestyle habits and a NATURAL Hair Color was an easy one to change. I am not on chemo since my Dr. says my own immune system is trying to fight this cancer. Chemo kills the good & the bad, therefore I'm thankful I do still have my hair at this time. My friend introduced me to Lustrous Henna when I complemented her hair. I didn't even know she used any type of color on it, because it looked so natural. She ordered my first time with her order,to try it out. So I have twice now, due to shorter hair.So glad I heard about this henna from her! I am thankful for the Lustrous Henna's shorter process time compared to others that require an extremely longer process and it leaves my hair in much, much better condition than when I did salon color.

My single priority, due to my health issue,is that it's safe, plus it looks and feels so natural and healthy. I can't say enough good about it. It was my pleasure to visit with Syed a few days ago about Lustrous Henna.His patience and very informative manner is so helpful and refreshing.He is an asset to Lustrous Henna products. He helped me a great deal with tips on how to tone the gray as it grows in from my root line. I sincerely thank you, Syed and Lustrous Henna for the difference you have made in my life. I'll be ordering again soon. Warmest Regards, Twyla R.

‘Ammonia-Free’ Does Not Mean that It’s Good for Your Hair.

We see it almost every time we pick up a hair dye product. The words: ‘Ammonia Free’.

Most consumers believe that ammonia-free synthetic hair color dyes are a very safe option when deciding to color their hair. However, the fact is that ammonia is simply the alkaline agent that increases the speed of the hair coloring process. The main ingredient responsible for allergic reactions in hair coloring products is Paraphenylene Diamine, better known as PPD.

PPD is the chemical in hair dye formulation that causes skin allergy and other harmful side-effects.

Itching, burning, hair fall or shedding, thinning of hair, and increase in gray or white hair and other problems are caused PPD in hair dye. Individually, these problems are no small issues but fade in comparison to PPD Allergies that have been exposed the world over. Unfortunately one of the biggest problems is that they can develop even after 10-20 years of regularly using chemical hair dye with PPD.

Lustrous Henna® is 100% natural hair color. An all-natural product without harmful chemical ingredients like PPD, Ammonia, Peroxide, etc.

It is formulated with ancient herbs that have been used throughout history to color and maintain healthy hair. This herbs have been used medicinially for centuries and they provide nourishment, protect hair from UV, control hair fall or shedding, repairs damage from chemical hair dyes, as well as add needed radiance and shine to hair. A large number of male and female customers currently using Lustrous Henna®are former skin alllergy sufferers (due to the PPD in their former hair color dyes.)

Lustrous Henna® has been recommended by leading dermatologists.

Why Embrace Your Gray Hair When You Can Embrace Lustrous Henna® Instead?

100% Natural Plant-based Hair Color Dye in 9 Natural Hair Shades

Do any of the following gray hair cover sentiments and experiences sound like your own?

PROBLEM: “My hairline is gray. I don’t want to return to bottled hair color but I just can’t take the grays.” “My grays are growing like crazy. I mean, it’s really bad. It sucks! “I’m a loser in the battle against gray hair. I surrendered a long time ago! I think I’ve tried everything under the sun. Man, I really hate this.”

SOLUTION: Lustrous Henna® 100% All Natural Plant/Vegetable-based Hair Color Dye. Totally natural and doesn’t harm the hair shaft like synthetic dyes. Absolutely no harmful chemicals. No PPD. No Ammonia. No Peroxide.

PROBLEM: “I love the black color I get using henna and indigo to color my gray hair but I just don’t have the time anymore. This entire process can take from a half day to a full day for me.” “A few months back I stop using henna and indigo to keep my gray covered because the process is too time-consuming for me.”

SOLUTION: Lustrous Henna® 100% All Natural Plant/Vegetable-based Hair Color Dye. One application takes less than 2 hours to achieve beautiful radiant hair.

PROBLEM: “This is embarrassing to admit. I actually cut the gray hair out as they come in. I really focus on the gray along my hairline. I know I shouldn’t do this because of the problems this will eventually cause but I can’t stop cutting out my gray hairs.” “I’ve been plucking out a few gray hairs, but I don’t want to think about what I’ll do when I get even more.”

SOLUTION: Lustrous Henna® 100% All Natural Plant/Vegetable-based Hair Color Dye. Made from botanical ingredients used for centuries to color gray hair, promote hair growth, help repair damaged hair, plus add suppleness and radiant sheen to hair.

PROBLEM: “I feel like I have a ton of gray hair. I like reddish hair so I use henna quite often, but the gray hair turns orange and I just couldn’t take that. So I’m now learning to embrace my gray hairs and leave them alone.” “Since there is nothing I can really do about them, I think I’m just going to embrace them.” “As a male, I feel that I should not be as focused on my gray hairs and I should just accept them as part of the aging process. I just feel I’m too young to have so many grays and maybe it’s a little vain, but I don’t want to look much older than my actual age. I’m allergic to hair dyes so I guess I’ll keep on accepting what I see in the mirror, even if I don’t like it.”

SOLUTION: Lustrous Henna® 100% All Natural Plant/Vegetable-based Hair Color Dye.  

Embrace your beautiful Lustrous Henna® hair in your own natural shade. Completely covers gray hair without harming the hair shaft in one or two easy applications.

Keep Your Eyes Open to PPD Hair Dye Danger Signs.

Closing our eyes to avoid reading hair dye “danger signs” won’t make them go away.

Most of us have read or heard about the dangers of coloring our hair with dyes containing the chemical para-phenylenediamine (PPD).

 
Are we really listening, learning and heeding the warnings? Or do we choose to ignore the ‘danger signs’?  

Really what kind of ingredient is PPD? According to the FDA, American Cancer Society, CDC, NIH, National Cancer Institute and a plethora of other consumer organizations, PPD is known to: Cause allergic reactions including redness, rashes, sores, burning sensations, itching and headaches. Be a possible carcinogen after oxidation, linked to increasing the occurrence of various forms of cancer such as: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Multiple myeloma, Breast Cancer, Leukemia, Bladder Cancer. So what’s guy or girl to do? Are there alternative hair coloring dyes that are genuinely all naturalthat won’t damage our health? Can we have great looking hair color without using harmful, deadly chemical dyes? Yes we can!

Lustrous Henna® 100% All-Natural Plant-based Hair Color Dye has been recommended by numerous dermatologists. Avoid the harmful effects of PPD. Keep your eyes open and heed the “danger signs”. Lustrous Henna® is your safe escape from potential hair and skin disaster.

Another testimonial about Lustrous Henna

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 theLustrous 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 hairis 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.
