Niagara Falls. No denying the power of this natural World Wonder. Man has captured its power and has converted it into a necessary source of electricity for massive structures in several cities and towns, covering hundreds of miles. Yet, we are just as thankful for the brightness of a simple light bulb.
As we previously discussed, the dye from the henna plant is a powerful natural wonder. Unfortunately, application can be long and tedious, especially for our busy lifestyles. However, a quicker application of henna hair dye is also: the power of nature made simple. Just mix, apply, wait about an hour, rinse out and style in record time with great results.
Finally. Never having to repeat the following statement:
I would love to naturally dye my hair with henna, but…I just don’t have the time!
Finally. Never having to perform the following 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!
No more searching for so-called “all natural hair color dye”, only to find out that even some henna-based kits include ingredients containing harmful chemical elements.
Damage-free hair coloring is available and it’s: simple.
People fall in love all the time. This time let it be with your naturally beautiful hair.

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 at $6.99 per pack (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.

ANSWERS to Questions
@Tracy Campbell: This is Syed.
We appreciate that you keep on using Lustrous Henna despite some red tones. Most people are able to achieve a nice black color on hair when using Lustrous Henna Soft Black. It seems that we all have our own hair chemistry. In rare cases some hair, doesn't take color well and turns red.
Lustrous Henna is a natural henna base dye, which means that base coating is done by henna, additional natural herbs work as secondary dyes. Since henna has red color, and it being the strongest dye which always cover gray, the hair absorbs the henna dye. But, rarely, some unknown chemical in the hair prevents the secondary herbs from coating over the natural henna dye. The few Lustrous Henna Soft Black users that have run into this problem are adding a small amount of Indigo leaves (powder) to get better coverage. At this point we do not if this is the real remedy to this problem. We looking into this and will share information with you once it becomes available.
@Christine: Thanks for your question.
Lustrous Henna is a natural extract form of dye as oppose to grounded leaves (powder) of henna. Because of this, a long soaking time is not required.
Regards,
Syed

If Lustrious Henna is mostly henna, why does it not require the long soaking for dye release and long application time of henna?

L.J. here. Thanks for your comment, Tracey. I use the soft black Lustrous Henna, too. I've never had red at my roots, only black. I use it to cover my gray. I have gray roots in the front and a small gray streak on the left of my forehead. When the color starts fading, my streak does turn to a very pretty deep red that compliments me. That is what I can tell you about my own experience using soft black Lustrous Henna.
