"Love your product! I am 85% grey and ordered the Henna Soft Black along with the Indigo. I used three parts of Henna Soft Black and one part of Indigo. I love the results. I got a very dark brown to black color hair which was exactly what I was looking for.

I used chemical dyes two or three times and developed severe reactions to the chemicals used in those products. With the Henna Soft Black and Indigo I just get great looking hair with no reactions. Would recommend to anyone looking for natural products".

Healthy Hair Growth -More Foods to Eat.

Nourish Hair with More Essential Foods

Healthy hair growth is full of keratin. Make sure your body receives and produces keratin naturally by healthy eating: protein-rich foods like nuts, seeds, low fat dairy products, lean meats, fish and egg whites.  

Healthy hair growth needs essential fatty acids such as omega-3 found in fatty fish like salmon. However, other healthy foods rich in omega-3 include flaxseeds, walnuts, winter squash, beans and olive oil.

Healthy hair growth requires a good supply of B-complex vitamins (that include folic acid, biotin, vitamin B-12), Vitamin A sources, zinc and copper for nourishment of a healthy scalp. Eat healthy foods containing these essential nutrients and you’ll say “farewell” to dry, brittle hair. Therefore, eat more of the following:  

(Note: If you follow a vegan, vegetarian or other diet, please add essential nutrients that fit your healthy eating.)

Folic Acid Dietary Sources

• Folic acid vegetables: Broccoli, beets, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, fresh peas, spinach
• Folic acid beans: All types of beans, chickpeas, soybeans, lentils
• Folic acid animal sources: Turkey

Biotin Dietary Sources

• Fresh is always best: carrots, cauliflower
• Carrots
• Cereals, yeast, soy flour
• Liver, salmon

Vitamin B-12 Dietary Sources

• Beef, lamb, liver, veal
• Oysters, fish, clams
• Milk, egg yolks

Vitamin A Sources

• Vegetable Vitamin A sources: Dark green, orange, red, yellow vegetables and fruits (containing beta-carotene).
• Dairy Vitamin A sources: Butter, fortified milk, egg yolks
• Animal/Fish Vitamin A sources:, fish, organ meats (like liver)

Copper Dietary Sources

• Dark, leafy greens and dried fruits like prunes
• Cocoa, black pepper, yeast

Zinc Dietary Sources

• Poultry, eggs, beef, liver, pork, oysters

Color Me Beautiful with Natural Highlights from Mother Earth

Color ME Beautiful?

Repeat after me: “My hair color and self-image can be enhanced naturally with highlights that will “color me beautiful”! What? You say that you doubt very much if these words are true for you personally? Come on now. At least give it a try. Repeat: “My hair color and self-image can be enhanced naturally with highlights that will “color me beautiful”!  

What hair color highlights did you reflect as a child on a bright sunny day? See? It’s easier than you might think to enhance your own natural beauty. Granted, for some of us it may take a little time to remember our own natural hair color if we’ve used chemical hair dye for a number of years. (smile!) However, it is possible to reclaim your natural beauty.  

So what color hair and natural highlights do you remember? Beautiful blonde? Perhaps a gorgeous golden blonde? Did you sport radiant red hair? Were you a rare, natural mahogany? Maybe a luscious brunette? Did your hair shine like black sable in the sun?  

Oh, so now you’ve decided that you want your natural hair color back. Well, you can indeed reclaim it by using a vegetable-based natural hair dye* combined with extracts of natural botanicals. The main ingredient in this plant-based natural hair is pure henna. Now, it’s totally true that by itself, henna will only give your hair a red-orange color. However, by combining it with other natural herbs and other botanical ingredients, you can reclaim your youthful hair color, even if you now have gray hair that needs covering.  

The mixing of these ingredients to the correct proportions has already been done for you and is lab certified to be 100% natural. The application process is not an “all day” event. In just about 90 minutes you can reclaim your natural beauty and declare: “I enhanced my hair color and self-image naturally –with highlights that “color me beautiful”!

Healthy Hair Growth Secret that Grows on Trees -Revealed

Ancient Healthy Hair Growth Secret: Shikakai

It’s known as, “fruit for hair”, conditions from the hair root and is used as a mild cleansing shampoo in India. Shikakai powder is similar to soap nuts in that it doesn’t produce the amount of lather a sulfate-containing shampoo would. However, it is an excellent cleanser for natural hair. It’s very mild with a naturally low pH. It doesn’t strip hair root of natural oils and since it also acts as a detangler, it usually doesn’t need to be followed up with a conditioner. 

However, it’s important to remember that, traditionally, prior to washing the hair with plants containing Saponin (like soap nuts or the healthy hair growth plant, Shikakai) the user massages the scalp at the hair root with coconut oil or castor oil.  

Shikakai Plant Anatomy  

Acacia concinna is also known as Shikakai or Satla has been used in the Indian Subcontinent since ancient times for hair root care and to promote healthy hair growth. In fact, it is one of the Ayurvedic medicinal plants. Acacia concinna * extracts are used in natural shampoos or hair powders, since it has cleansing properties similar to soap nuts. The tree is now grown commercially in India and Far East Asia. Leaves are double-pinnate; containing a cluster of 2 or 3 stalked rounded pink flower heads. Flower heads about 1 cm in diameter when mature. Pods are thick, somewhat flattened, stalked, 8 cm long, 1.5-1.8 cm wide. The bark contains high levels of saponins, which are foaming agent s that are found in several other plant species like soap nuts. Saponin-containing plants (like soap nuts) have a long history of use as mild cleaning agents in natural hair care. To prepare it in the fruit pods, leaves and bark of Acacia concinna are dried, powdered and made into a paste.

Shikakai Hair Benefits

Acacia concinna is also known to promote healthy hair growth by nourishing the scalp at the glandular level. It also can strengthen the hair root. (This is good news for anybody transitioning from a chemical perm or relaxer to natural hair). It is rich in vitamin C and vitamin D, along with other nutrients that nourish the natural hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth. It can be used by itself or mixed with other natural ingredients in powder form, along with water to form a paste that is then applied to the hair.  

Did you know that 100% All Natural Lustrous Henna® hair dye contains Shikakai?

Lustrous Henna® also contains other natural plants and herbal extracts used since ancient times. It is a superior all natural henna hair dye, that not only colors your hair, and it actually nourishes your hair with the fruit for hair –that grows on trees!  

Lustrous Henna® is the brainchild of Syed Abbas, who states, “We list all of our ingredients on every package for your convenience. You can always go online and check the ingredients, too.”  

Pure Shikakai Powder is also available from Saba Botanical of USA. For a natural hair boost, contact Saba Botanical for more information on this wonderful flowering plant.

Black Hair Color Revived by Lustrous Henna® Hair Dye

Do You Want Your Black Hair Color Back?

Here are two ways to achieve it, naturally:

1. Be born with lots of melanin. The more you have, the darker your hair will be.
2. Use 100% all natural Lustrous Henna® hair dye in Soft Black. (Since pure henna applied to hair, produces a red-orange color, Lustrous Henna® hair dye in Soft Black is mixed with pure indigo and the extracts of other botanical plants to achieve radiant black hair color).

Melanin levels can change over time, so a person's hair color can change, naturally. Also, a person can have more hair follicles of more than one color.  

Hair color pigmentation comes from two types of melanin, eumelanin and pheomelanin. Red hair comes from pheomelanin. The amount of brown or black eumelanin results in blonde, brown or black hair color. Blond hair comes from low concentration of brown eumelanin. If the level is higher, it causes hair to turn brown. High amounts of black eumelanin produce black hair. Low amounts of eumelanin result in gray hair.  

Obviously, if you were born with black hair and still have it, you can be thankful for your beautiful hair. In fact, black hair is the shiniest of all hair colors.  

If you weren’t born with this beautiful color or have lost some of it due to graying, you can still get your color back. Lustrous Henna® hair dye is 100% all- natural and comes in Soft Black. It’s a unique powdered mix of 100% natural henna hair dye and botanical extracts for all men and women.  

Why takes risks that come with harmful chemical dyes?  
Now, you can still have shimmering, beautiful black hair color -naturally.

Hair Color Ideas Done Naturally

Choosing Natural Hair Color Dye is a Dilemma for Both Men and Women

Hair color ideas are all around us and can be a little confusing with many mixed-messages regarding correct hair color choices. For instance, there are a lot of myths floating around about hair color and personality. However, there is no need to become despondent. Just follow a couple of steps to complement natural beauty, as well as, using hair color theory and you should be completely satisfied with your Lustrous Henna® hair dye choice.

3 Steps for Hair Color Ideas that Complement Natural Beauty

1. Think about why you want to color your hair and what do you want to achieve.
2. Learning how to and then selecting a color that will enhance your natural beauty. (See “Hair: Color Theory” below).
3. Seriously consider your commitment to your look. Lustrous Henna® hair dye can last usually from three weeks to two months, depending on your hair growth and the time it takes to fade.

Hair: Color Theory

According to color experts, our overall facial features give us a great deal of help for hair color ideas. Let’s apply the following color theory for enhancing hair color ideas using Lustrous Henna® hair dye: Our facial features are usually divided up into two categories: Cool and Warm. Collectively, our eyes, skin and natural hair coloring determine whether we are in the warm category or cool category.  

Cool eye color: dark brown, black-brown, gray-blue, dark blue, hazel with white gray or blue flecks.

Cool hair (natural) color: Blue-Black (or jet black), deep brown, ash brown, ash blond, platinum blond.  

Cool skin tone: very dark brown, true olive, medium pale, medium with golden undertones, pale, bronze.  

Warm eye color: golden brown, green, green-blue, turquoise, hazel with golod or brown flecks.  

Warm hair (natural) color: deep brown with gold or red highlights, red, strawberry blond, gray-yellow, natural or golden blond.  

Warm skin tone: brown with pink or golden undertones, peachy or with peachy undertones, pale with gold undertones, freckled, ruddy. Of course, hair color ideas might be hard to obtain if you don’t remember what color your natural hair is or if you regularly use tanning beds. Therefore, if you think about what colors currently complements your facial features -in your wardrobe- this should be able to determine if you are warm or cool. Blue, green and violet are cool hues. Red, orange and yellows are warm hues.  

Most complimentary hair color for warm skin: golden, rich brown and redder coloring.  

Most complimentary hair color for cool skin: ashy shades of brown (instead of red-browns), black, light colors.  

Caveat: Hair color theory is very basic. Remember, you are: uniquely you. Your complexion might be more of a combination that doesn’t ‘fit’ into a basic category. There is no true “cookie-cutter” template on cool or warm individuals. Still unsure? One safe way to choose the correct color* is to think of your skin tone, eye color, natural hair color and even your hair color -as a young child. Can you remember what color was reflected from sun rays on a bright summer day? Use these factors to help you today with your own natural beauty.  

If you’re still unsure about what Lustrous Henna® hair dye shade to use, then do the following: Save some hair from your comb or hairbrush until you have enough test for color. Do a color test on your saved hair; hold against your face while looking into mirror, to ensure that you will like the results. In review, think more about skin tone, eye color and your natural haircolor and highlights, then choose the Lustrous Henna® hair dye shade that naturally suits you and your natural beauty.  

*Since Lustrous Henna® is in Powder form, the powders can be mixed to create a desired shade, it is better to do a strand test. When you do a strand test make sure you document the ratios for future reference.
