Men -Progressive Hair Dye is NOT the Answer!

try natural hair dye for men. www.sababotanical.comMen, Stop Risking Your Health with Progressive Hair Dye

Many men use progressive hair dye because they're unaware of a safer, natural hair dye alternative to color gray hair. Progressive hair dye and hair color formulas have been targeted at men for decades to cover their gray hair. These change the gray hair color gradually.

Due to allergic reaction to harmful chemicals, did you know that Grecian Formula was banned in Canada and European countries because it contained lead acetate at the time? It is still sold and approved for use in the United States to color gray hair, but it must carry a warning label about the lead acetate in the product marketed in the states. Why risk potential allergic reaction?

men color gray hair naturally. www.sababotanical.comPermanent and semi-permanent synthetic dyes usually contain extremely harmful and toxic chemicals
 like P-Phenylenediamine (PPD), ammonia, peroxide, lead acetate and a slew of others that can cause damage to the natural hair shaft. They also have caused severe allergic reaction on the scalp, neck and face of several dermatologists’ patients. Growing allergic reaction is one of the reasons dermatologists recommend a using natural hair dye to color hair such as a henna hair dye.

Natural Hair Dye is Safer than Chemical Dyes

Men, there is no need to take risks with your health or natural hair color. Use a natural hair dye: 100% natural henna hair dye. The only natural vegetable hair dye approved by the FDA is: 100% natural henna hair dye. Don't take risks with your health: use all natural henna hair dye -to cover gray hair and to get back your natural hair color.

A Gray Hair Dye Alternative for Men -Conditions Hair Naturally.

Lustrous Henna ® hair dye is non-toxic, completely safe and 100% natural hair dye. It’s pure henna extract in powder form combined with the extract of other plants that are well known for their hair treatment benefits. It has a very quick dye release and is very simple to apply. It comes in various shades and has been praised by several satisfied male users. In fact, the creator of Lustrous Henna® hair dye, Syed Abbas, is male and uses it to cover his gray, too.

I, Dr.Bhagwan Bang, a pediatrician who had extensive allergic reaction with color dye.

'Black Henna' -an Unsafe, Mislabeled Chemical Dye.

The Hair Dye 'BLACK HENNA'. What Does It Mean?*

'black henna' is dangerous. NOT natural.About the misnomer: 'Black Henna':
  • 'Black Henna' is not pure, nor is it pure henna. Pure henna is a green plant (Lawsonia inermis)and the green leaves are dried, crushed and powdered. When used alone it will turn the hair an orange-red color. If it is properly used with pure indigo, the hair will dye to black.  If it is mixed with a very toxic chemical called, para-phenylenediamine (PPD), “coal tar”.
  • 'Black Henna' is not pure indigo or 'black indigo'. Pure indigo is a green plant(Indigofera tinctoria) and the green leaves are dried, crushed and powdered. When used properly with pure henna, it will turn hair to a black color. However, if it is mixed with chemicals dyes, or even henna that has been compromised by chemicals, including PPD, then it is not pure indigo or the so-called, 'black henna'.
  • PPD is known to cause severe skin allergies such as: Permanent scarring, marked redness and swelling of scalp, face and eyes, eyelids may completely shut, allergic contact dermatitis may spread throughout body.
  • Severe PPD allergy can also result in contact urticaria and anaphylaxis on rare occasions. See: NZ Dermatological Society report and photos. 
  • PPD*: “This compound is used in almost every hair dye on the market, regardless of brand. The darker the colour, usually, the higher the concentrations. Some of the so-called "natural" and "herbal" hair colours, while ammonia-free, contain PPD. Some products sold as henna also contain PPD added, particularly so-called 'black henna'. In many cases, PPD causes allergic reaction, and can cause scarring in some people. PPD should never be applied directly to the skin in its pure form or mixed with anything else.”
Get to know the facts and keep safely away from harmful chemical and synthetic hair color dyes.

Love your natural hair. Lustrous Henna. www.sababotanical.comLustrous Henna® in Soft Black Shade is NOT 'Black Henna'.

Lustrous Henna® is 100% All Natural Hair Color Dye. The soft black shade is derived from mixing pure henna (from the henna plant) with the extracts of pure indigo and other botanicals found in nature.

Lustrous Henna® is completely para-phenylenediamine-free (PPD-free hair dye); also, ammonia-free, peroxide-free. A totally natural hair color.

Henna Hair Dye -the Perfect Choice for Pregnant Moms

Happy pregnant mom. www.sababotanical.comHenna hair dye is all natural and safe during fetal development, 
especially during pregnancy in the first trimester, is the perfect choice for Moms-to-Be. Henna hair dye is the natural choice, but traditional henna hair dye application method can be too lengthy and cumbersome for many pregnant women.

Chemical Hair Dye is Not the Best Hair Dye for Pregnant Women

It is strongly recommended by most obstetricians, gynecologists and other health care professionals, that pregnant women NOT use permanent hair dye during the first trimester of pregnancy.*
Your baby is undergoing very important neurological fetal development during your first three months of pregnancy. Low levels of permanent chemical dye are absorbed into the scalp and passed through the body and have been identified in urine samples.
Additionally, breathing toxic fumes from permanent chemical dyes can be harmful to fetal development. Of course, all pregnant women want to protect the baby from any kind of potential danger.

Some healthcare professionals feel the "risk is minimal", "might be probable", "maybe unsafe". To this I say, why take ANY possible risk with your baby's health; as well as your own. At least during the first trimester, try something that has been safe to use since ancient times. You might just make it a permanent decision because -you love the results.

Pregnancy. Use safe henna hair dye. www.sababotanical.comNot All Henna Hair Dyes are Equal -Avoid Mislabeled "Black Henna" 

“Black Henna” dyes usually contain even higher concentrations of PPD than many commercial hair dyes sold in the USA. Sadly many individuals think that when they purchase this product, it is pure indigo (or pure indigo only mixed with pure henna). Far from all natural hair color, the results have led to sad consequences and also some dermatologic horror stories. It's sad to relate that there are no regulations in many countries, including India, for ingredient labels. For this reason and to avoid further confusion, always make sure of the company’s reputation that you are dealing with.

A Word about Pure Indigo:

It is not the so-call misnomer, “Black Henna”.

"Black Henna" is not pure indigo or "black" indigo. If indigo is mixed with chemicals dyes, or even henna that has been compromised by chemicals, including PPD, then it is not pure indigo or the so-called, "black henna".
When you want pure indigo, make sure what you buy is: pure indigo.

If you want all natural hair color, stay far away from “Black Henna”. 

Pregnancy couple. www.sababotanical.comBe Safe. Be 100% All-Natural When Choosing Hair Color Dye

The best hair dye for pregnant women is 100% all-natural henna hair dye: Lustrous Henna®. It's a unique, conditioning, natural hair dye, combined with natural botanical extracts. This herbal henna hair dye comes in more than nine natural hair color shades and can be used before, during and after pregnancy.
Lustrous Henna®. A unique hair dye is lab-certified to be completely natural. The application process is quick and easy. All you need is a little more than an hour of time for the glow of radiant hair. It can be used throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
No doubt, moms-to-be will agree:
Lustrous Henna®. Clearly the best natural hair dye choice.

A Very Happy Mom Testimonial
“I was so excited to try out this henna dye! But so nervous at the same time! I have never dyed my hair before and I decided to go with the Lustrous Henna® Mahogany to give my hair a little red touch!
Thanks to my husband's help, it was really easy to do and took about a couple hours to complete the whole process. I loved that I could do it in the comfort and privacy of my own home and watch TV at the same time! It made the time go by really fast!
It was also great to know I got a beautiful color but without all the harmful ingredients! The color came out pretty red at first but it eventually blended in and looked gorgeous! I love my new hair color and I can't wait to buy a different color next time!
I recommend Saba Botanical Lustrous Henna Hair Color for all men and women who either want to cover grays or just want a new hair color/change like me! The colors are gorgeous, don't dry your hair out, and are safe for everyone to use!”

Henna for Hair -Is it Really Pure and Natural?


Black_henna_PPD
Henna for Hair -Is It REALLY Pure Henna?

Several dermatogists in India, a major source of the world’s henna, are compaigning against mislabeled henna hair dye, some containing harsh chemicals. Dr. AK Bajaj, a leading dermatogist in Allahbad, is of the opinion that many patients have little knowledge about the products they’re using. He stated that, “The cheapest and most commonly used ones are the misleadly labeled, ‘black henna’ dyes that contain extremely high concentarations of P-Phenylenediamine (PPD).”
Black-henna-hair-dye-ppd

‘Mehndi’ is the Hindi word for Henna. Sadly, consumers have been fooled by the manufacturers of ‘Kali Mehndi’ or ‘Kali Black Mehndi’ (spelling variation: mehdi, mehandi,mehendi),  thinking it is free of harmful chemicals. However, ‘Kali Mehndi’ has at times up to 16% PPD, a level extremely harmful to one’s health. “’Kali Mehndi’ is different from green mehdi. There is no mehndi that is black in color. If it is black, it is always a chemical dye.  People are unaware that this particular product is actually a chemical dye and not a natural hair dye. They believe that it is 'henna hair dye' or simply another form of ‘mehndi’’, stated Dr. Vinod Kumar Sood (Dermatology and Venerealogy Department, Retired Dept. Head, Dayanand Medical College).

As mentioned in previous natural hair dye posts, there are several other products and kits masquerading as “pure henna” that can be found on store shelves or online, readily available to purchase. However, as the examples above show, they are not all natural hair dye or pure henna. So-called, 'henna hair dye' contain truly harmful chemicals!   


Henna hair pasteBuying Henna for Hair

It's extremely important to know the reputation of the company marketing natural hair dye, including pure henna and other henna hair dye mixes. Why take a chance with your health? Make sure the next time you buy a natural hair dye like henna for hair, you really know the answer to the question, 

“Is It REALLY Pure Henna?”



Testimonial from a happy pure henna and Lustrous Henna® for hair customer

Your henna (hair dye) is the best I have ever used in 10 years of searching for a natural hair coloring product. Your henna is very clean of debris, leaves and sand, because it is so finely sifted. It colors my resistant gray hairs very well. I love how smooth like pudding your henna becomes once it is mixed with water. (Other henna products that I have used in the past became like dried mud when I applied it to my hair and they are very messy!)
I also love how fast I can use your henna after I mix it with water, and I don't have to leave it on my hair for 4 hours for it to color my gray. After only 60 minutes my gray is colored!
Also my curly, kinky hair is becoming SOFTER AND SMOOTHER!!! I can straighten my hair to a silky like texture that I never achieved before, without a chemical relaxer. Now I don't have to use harmful chemical relaxers, or harmful hair dyes!
Your company also ships the henna when you say you will, in a timely manner, and I receive my products very promptly. I always had to call in the past and complain to other henna companies about where my order was.
Keep up the excellent products, and the excellent work and THANKS A MILLION!!!

I would love to use natural dyes like henna hair dye, but…I just don’t have the time!

Finally: Never having to perform the following traditional henna hair dye ritual:

Mixing the paste, then: waiting….waiting…waiting…. for hours… hours… hours.
Applying the paste, then: waiting….waiting…waiting…. for hours…and hours… and hmm…hours.
Applying a plant-based tint, then: waiting….waiting…waiting! ARGH!!!

Traditional Henna Dye Release takes many hours.
ENOUGH of waiting for hours and hours and hours...
Finally: No more searching for natural dyes to highlight or change your hair color, only to find out that they're not all natural. Even some henna-based kits include ingredients containing harmful chemicals like Para-phenylenediamine (PPD)!
  

 Damage-free henna hair dye is available and it’s simple:

A testimonial from a very happy woman:
I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE the Lustrous Henna.  I've been using it for about 2 years now, and I will never go back to the chemical dyes, for many reasons. Getting my long hair dyed in a salon cost me well over $100. When I tried to be more economical and do it myself, I would still have to buy two bottles of dye, not to mention processing agents, and special conditioners, and then color safe shampoos and conditioners for after.  I have used color safe products and non-color safe products with the Lustrous Henna, and there is no difference, it doesn't really fade. And ... (I only need 1 pack for my hair), the price can't be beat.

Also, even when I went to a salon, my hair would fade to an ugly, mustardy brown after only 2 weeks to a month.  With Lustrous Henna, I dye my hair about once every 3 months, and even when it fades, it fades to a very nice, dark shade (I use the black and the mahogany).  
In fact, the only reason I know it's faded at all is because my grays start showing.  Which brings me to another point.  My grays are interspersed throughout my hair, and the henna dyes them a lighter shade than the rest of my hair, which just ends up looking like really pretty highlights.


And the fact that it does absolutely NO damage to my hair is the icing on the cake.
I love this stuff, please never stop selling it!  I will never go back to chemical dyes ever again.
