Natural Hair Dye for Men Does Exist

Natural Hair Dye for Men Does Exist -by L.J. O'Neal, writer.

Why Men Need Natural Hair Dye

The main reason most men color their hair is get rid of gray hair in order to look and feel younger. Some long for their former black hair, brown hair color or just their natural hair color. Many men are disappointed and wonder if a natural hair dye truly exists that address their own natural hair needs.
Men can and some have suffered allergic reaction from chemical dyes. Men need to pay attention to warnings on the packages of chemical dyes.
Permanent 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 hair shaft. They also have caused intense allergic reaction on the scalp, neck and face of several dermatologists’ patients (men and women).

Many men want to avoid allergic reaction and go with natural hair color products. With the plethora of progressive dye products and other chemical laden dyes, the search for a totally natural hair dye can lead to frustration.

Men Stop Risking Your Health with Progressive Hair Dye

Progressive hair dye for men is still chemical hair dye. Progressive chemical dyes and hair color formulas have been targeted at men for decade to cover their gray hair . These change the gray hair color gradually. 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, but it must carry a warning label about the lead acetate in the product marketed in the states.

Use a Proven Henna Hair Dye and Prevent Allergic Reaction

There is no need to take risks with your health . Henna hair dye is all natural and plant-based. Henna has been proven safe since ancient times. Modern technology has made it possible to mix natural botanical extracts with pure, natural henna hair color to obtain a variety of natural hair shades for men and women. Lustrous Henna® by Saba Botanical of USA is the natural gray hair cover solution.
Don't take risks with your health. A natural hair dye for men does exist. Use Lustrous Henna® hair dye for men to cover gray hair, color black hair or to get back your natural hair color.

Indian Gooseberry –An Ancient Remedy for Hair Loss Prevention

Indian Gooseberry –An Ancient Remedy for Hair Loss Prevention -by L.J. O'Neal, writer.Amla Powder or Indian Gooseberry for Hair Loss Prevention
-and Much More

Amla powder (Emblica officinalis) is a wonderful cleansing agent for both the skin and hair. It imparts luster to hair and protects from dandruff, also helps prevent premature gray hair. Amla stimulates growth of hair on the scalp, and strengthens the hair roots, thus preventing hair loss. Amla extract in all natural shampoo does not deposit any color on the hair and can be used by everyone. Amla extract helps replace the nourishment lost by hair gels, chemical hair color and hair spray.
Amla extract is also a natural hair colorant and is popularly used in inks, the high tannin content of Indian gooseberry fruit serves as a mordant for fixing dyes in fabrics.

Botanical History of Amla (Indian Gooseberry, Emblica officinalis)  

The scientific name for Amla is Emblica officinalis. It’s more commonly known as Indian gooseberry . Synonyms are: Awla, Amalake, Aamla, Aavalaa, Amlaki, and numerous others. It is a fruit-producing tree of 12-18 feet high that grows in central and northern India. The flowers are greenish-yellow. The fruit is nearly spherical, light greenish yellow, quite smooth and hard on appearance, with 6 vertical stripes or furrows. The fruit is edible. A precious oil is extracted from its seed and pulp and used as a treatment for healthy hair growth, hair loss and scalp problems. The aqua extract by grinding the seed and pulp is used in the shampoo. All water soluble vitamins and some oil is extracted from the fruit, in the process.

Indian Gooseberry –An Ancient Remedy for Hair Loss Prevention -by L.J.O'Neal, writer.Amla Powder (Indian Gooseberry, Emblica officinalis)
–A Beneficial Ingredient

Since Amla extract is an excellent natural hair conditioner that stops hair fall and thus aids in hair loss prevention, it’s one of the all-natural herbal botanical ingredients contained in Lustrous Henna® plant-based hair color.
Additionally, all natural shampoo (like Imbue™ Nurturing Shampoo by Saba Botanical) that contain Amla powder or Amla extract (Indian Gooseberry, Emblica officinalis) are traditionally believed to nourish the hair and scalp and prevent hair loss and premature gray hair.
To order all natural pure Amla Powder for hair, visit Saba Botanical of USA.

“I absolutely love this product and have been using it now for 4 years. It's easy to use and looks very natural. Best thing ever as I'm allergic to hair dye and it has saved me. Thank you so much!! None of the products available in Australia compare and I've tried a few. Would love to try conditioners, etc, but gets a bit expensive for shipping from here . Thanks again for your excellent product, I've recommended it to many.  –Ingrid R., Victoria, Australia
“I have been using Lustrous Henna Soft Black for a couple of years with great satisfaction. This product rejuvenates my hair and gives it a shiny luster. Until then, I had been using chemical hair color which gave me allergic reaction such as itchy scalp red spots and blisters on my face and neck which would last for couple of days. This product is awesome. I would highly recommend to anyone who has an allergic reaction to the chemical hair colors.” – Safi K., Manassas Park, VA

Lustrous Henna® Brown -Customer Reviews

“I love this product--have been using it for about a year now and it has made my hair so much healthier and shinier and I feel so much safer not using chemicals… -Sheila H., Owensboro, KY
“Great product. Have been using it for years. It does a very good job covering the gray. Owner, Syed, very personable and friendly.” – C.R., Medison, AL
“It's an awesome product! I love it!!! I must admit I was reluctant at first. After the first use, I feel in love. I highly recommend Lustrous Henna.” –Teresa R., Greer, SC
“I've been using the color for over a year and my hair is so much healthier (vs. when I was using an over the counter hair color). The only downside is application is a little messy and it takes longer, but the results are well worth it.” – Kamilla V., Weehawken, NJ
“I've been using this henna for over five years. Before I discovered I was extremely allergic to over the counter hair dyes, those products never covered my hair correctly. My hair was light on top and dark on the bottom. It also never completely covered the grey hairs. Lustrous Henna makes my hair shiny and covers my grey perfectly. Plus it lasts a long time and grows out evenly, not from the roots. I highly recommend this product.” – Donna, Waldwick, NJ

Dry Shampoo or Lustrous Henna Shampoo Powder? You Decide.

Dry Shampoo or Lustrous Henna Shampoo Powder? You Decide -by L.J. O'Neal, writer.An Ancient Dry Shampoo with Benefits
  • Dry shampoo has some benefit for those who suffer from oily scalp and need to wash their hair more frequently, which isn't always convenient with today’s hectic schedules.
  • In rare emergencies, if you really can’t wash your hair the traditional way.
If you really want an ancient dry shampoo that has been used for centuries and  is inexpensive, try  Multani Mitti Clay Powder (Fullers Earth). Simply part hair; apply a small amount; brush through hair, then brush out vigorously. (Incidentally, it's also an excellent acne remedy.)

Caution: Even the best dry shampoo is not a substitute for a regular hair washing and conditioning for hair growth.

The herbal mixture allows gentle cleaning, nourishing and strengthening of hair. Conditions and moisturizes each strand of hair, leaving it soft and silky to the touch. 
  • In its dry state, you can take this herbal shampoo anywhere (including airplanes). When ready, simply mix a little bit of the shampoo powder with a little water and apply to your hair. Wait a couple minutes and rinse out. It’s that easy.
  • It’s so gentle, you can use it daily. You can carry this herbal shampoo in your pocket or purse to have on hand whenever necessary and won’t have to worry about over-drying your hair, like you do with traditional dry shampoo.
  • An herbal shampoo that improves your hair condition and moisture balance with regular use.

Hair Dye Chemicals Absorbed into Your Skin? Seriously.

Hair Dye Chemicals Absorbed into Your Skin Seriously -by L.J. O'Neal, writer.Chemical Hair Dye Ingredients and Skin Absorption

The answer to the title question might be surprising to some readers. However, you can find it with a little eye-opening research. 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 PTD).

Research About Chemical Hair Dye Ingredients

ScienceDirect - Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology : The absorption of p-toluenediamine through human skin in hair dyeing. 

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. 

Product Safety Summary

Personal use of hair dye and the risk of bladder cancer: results of a meta-analysis.1

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.

Protect Your Skin from Harmful Chemical Hair Dye Ingredients

Protect your body from permanent harm by avoiding the accumulative allergen properties found in PPD or immediate skin allergy that is possible with PTD. 

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

An Unsolicited Customer Testimonial
Natural Hair Tips for Hair Color While Pregnant. by L.J. O'Neal. Marisa Share's Her Lustrous Henna Story.“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!”

  • Lustrous Henna® contains herbs that are known to prevent hair loss, herbs that are known for anti-dandruff qualities and to improve overall health of your hair.
“Before I started using your Lustrous Henna, I was kind of skeptical about your product because I was using different natural Henna since I have not found another natural product in the market before you. 

After speaking with you about Lustrous Henna, I have decided to try it and I MUST tell you that I really like it.  It really does the job of giving a lustrous color to my hair.  My hair also feels softer.  I love the smell it gives my hair.  Let me tell you even my husband love the smell it adds to my hair…that’s a bonus!!! 

Lustrous Henna is good and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested to color their hair for a lustrous look.” 

All the very best,
Peng,  Venice, California

PTD. What is It?

“Toluene-2,5-Diamine and Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate are used as ingredients in the formulation of permanent hair dyes, colors and tints. Toluene-3,4-Diamine may also be used in hair dye products.”1 This permanent hair color chemical has also been called para-toluenediamine (PTD) or p-toluenediamine.

Why Worry About PTD?

After extensive scientific research, the European Commission (Health and Consumer Safety) concluded that the use of toluene-2,5-diamine cannot be considered safe for hair coloring or hair shaft . The National Allergy Research Centre in Denmark concluded that hair color dye users need more protection and a ‘preventative strategy’ to reduce cases of severe allergic contact dermatitis.
“The SCCP (Scientific Committee on Consumer Products) is of the opinion that the use of toluene-2,5-diamine cannot be considered safe based on the available data. This conclusion may be re-evaluated if human toxicokinetic data were to become available in which dosages used more closely approximate the intended use of the substance.
  • Toluene-2,5-diamine is an extremely potent skin sensitizer.
  • Clarification must be given on the myocyte degeneration in the dose range finding study of the 90 day study.
  • Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate itself has no mutagenic potential in vivo.
However, studies on genotoxicity/mutagenicity in finished hair dye formulations should be undertaken following the relevant SCCNFP/SCCP opinions and in accordance with its Notes of Guidance.”1 
National Allergy Research Centre Abstract
“Colouring of hair can cause severe allergic contact dermatitis. The most frequently reported hair dye allergens are p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and toluene-2,5-diamine, which are included in, respectively, the patch test standard series and the hairdressers series. The aim of the present study was to identify dye precursors and couplers in hair dyeing products causing clinical hair dye dermatitis and to compare the data with the contents of these compounds in a randomly selected set of similar products… Hair dye allergy may cause severe clinical reactions, and the current regulation is insufficient in protection of the users. A preventive strategy is needed.”2

Are There Safe Alternatives to PTD in Hair Dye?

Mother Nature contains vegetables, herbs, flowers and other plants that provide an alternative, safe solution. Natural botanicals have been used since ancient times for an effective natural hair dye . In modern times, more research was essential for a quicker application method that needed to be created from the gifts found in nature.  The FDA has suggested that a safe alternative to synthetic hair dye is all-natural henna as a natural hair dye.

Natural Hair Dye Alternative to Chemical Hair Dye

There are many products marketed to consumers that are claimed to be “all-natural”, however, upon closer examination these claims simply are not true. Many other all-natural hair color products have been disappointing to consumers worldwide, due to unsatisfactory performance. This serious issue led to much more extensive research and testing and the development of an exquisitely unique natural hair dye formula found totally in Mother Nature. This truly natural hair dye is marketed by Saba Botanical of USA under the brand name of Lustrous Henna®.
