Lustrous Henna®

The Power of the Flower: Aloe Vera (pt. 2 of 2)

What Aloe Vera ISN’T:

Nowadays, it seems that every product that wants to appear healthy and beneficial, include the words “Aloe Vera” on its packaging. Even the tissue companies found a way to add it to their labels! Therefore, we need to pause for thought and THINK for a second…do we really need a miniscule drop of Aloe Vera in our tissue?

On a more serious note, when we are searching for pure Aloe Vera or products containing pure Aloe Vera, we really need to be careful and read the ingredient labels. We might end up with something that may even cause us harm. One well-known company claims to sell 100% Aloe Vera Gel.  After reading the ingredient label, you might be shocked to see that it is not 100% Aloe Vera Gel at all, but : (company) Aloe Vera, 100% Gel. Does this make a difference? You bet it does! This product is a gel that contains Aloe Vera and many harmful chemical additives. One ingredient was even banned in Europe for being a known carcinogen!

A “Recipe” that Promotes Healthy Hair Growth  

Aloe Vera contains many healthy hair benefits especially when combined with wheat germ oil and almond oil, added to Bhringraj. As we shared in the previous post, this “recipe” is found in every bottle of Imbue® Natural Conditioner by Saba Botanicals of USA. It is an herbal formula containing plant extracts from Bhringraj combined with, Aloe Vera, Wheat germ oil and Almond oil. This mixture will only help to revitalize and nourish your hair and scalp.

Personal Experience

Personally, I have thyroid disease, along with PCOS -two conditions known to cause thinning hair, and my hair loves Imbue® Natural Conditioner. I use it many times just by itself as a co-wash or I follow up my Imbue® Natural Shampoo with it. I use Lustrous Henna® to cover my grays and condition my hair too.  My hair always feels softer and I’ve found that my hair is actually thicker. My husband even commented the same.  

If you suffer hair fall or hair thinning, then perhaps you’ll achieve similar results in your own experience using this healthy hair "recipe".

================================================================

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.

The Power of the Flower: Aloe Vera (pt. 1 of 2)

The Aloe Vera Plant IS:

Aloe Vera is a flowering plant. It has been called “the lily of the desert” and “the plant of immortality”.  Its medicinal and healing properties have been known for over 4000 years. It was used by ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese civilizations. Cleopatra used it to purify her skin. Alexander the Great used it for his soldiers’ wounds.

Aloe Vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant with yellow flowers, growing to 24–39 in tall. The small serrated leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces. The beautiful yellow flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 35 in tall. Aloe Vera grows in arid climates and is widely distributed in Africa, India and other arid areas.

As a topical medicinal treatment, Aloe Vera extracts have antibacterial and antifungal properties that may help in the treatment of skin infections and inhibit the growth of fungi. Additionally, Aloe Vera is a natural moisturizer that soothes the skin, eliminating the risk of flaky scalp (dandruff) and flaky skin in harsh and dry weather.

Aloe Vera is an excellent treatment for hair loss because the plant itself closely matches our own body’s biochemistry, containing many of the same vitamins and minerals that make up our own bodies. Without question, Aloe Vera provides benefits for hair fall or hair loss. It strengthens, adds a healthy radiance and shine to hair.

 

A “Recipe” that Promotes Healthy Hair Growth  

Aloe Vera contains many healthy hair benefits especially when combined with wheat germ oil and almond oil, added to Bhringraj. Tthis “recipe” is found in the bottles of Imbue Natural Conditioner by Saba Botanicals of USA. It is an herbal formula containing plant extracts from Bhringraj combined with, Aloe Vera, Wheat germ oil and Almond oil. This mixture will only help to revitalize and nourish your hair and scalp.

I tried your Lustrous Henna (Soft) Black and the sample of your Imbue
shampoo. I'm so pleased with the results of the Lustrous (Soft) Black and
your shampoo is very gentle to the hair.  I will be placing an order
over your website in the next week or 2 but wanted to send my feedback
as I'd like you to keep me posted with any promotional events and any
information you have.
I read your story about the commercial hair dyes & can certainly relate
as I've had similar experiences..

Dandruff Treatment and Remedy That Also Beautifies Your Hair

  Problem

Flaky dead skin that appears on the scalp, eyebrows or around the hairline, ears or nose; range from small and white to large, greasy and yellow.

Treatment and Remedy*

Follow a healthy diet that includes flax seed oil; daily scalp massage increases blood circulation; weekly oil treatment to scalp, washing off in shower after 10-15 minutes will help avoid excessive drying out of skin; frequent  mild shampoos that include any or all of the following Ayurvedic herbs:

Shikakai:  A pod that’s considered a superior cleanser for "lustrous long hair" and has been reported as "promoting hair growth and preventing dandruff". Because of these benefits, this pod was named "Shikakai" which translated as, "fruit for hair".

Soapnut: Indian name Reetha fruit is also called Soapnut, as it contains natural soap. Beside excellent cleansing properties, it is known to keep hair and skin soft.

Amla: A wonderful cleansing agent for both the skin and hair. It imparts luster to hair and protects from dandruff, also helps prevent premature graying. Amla stimulates growth of hair on the scalp, and strengthens the hair roots.

Fenugreek: Seeds contain essential oil that contains 40 different valuable compounds. People used to soak fenugreek seeds overnight, and in the morning grind them into fine paste and apply them to the scalp for half hour for scalp treatment and removal of dandruff. The hair was then washed with Soapnut solution. The same paste was applied on the face at night before going to bed and then washed with warm water in the morning. This was known to prevent one from getting pimples, dryness and early appearance of wrinkles. It improved complexion and make one look younger.

Where to Purchase

* If the scaling from dandruff is greasy and yellow and does not respond to shampooing, etc. then it may be time to call your doctor; you may have seborrhea dermatitis and need more aggressive treatment.

Syed,

Thanks so much for sending me the second pack of soft black henna. I tried a patch of hair with it and it did work much better than the first batch that I received. The black color had a tint of blue in it and I was concerned that it would color my hair blue instead of darkening my existing red. So I tried the dark brown that I had previously used again. This time I applied it to damp hair, covered my head with a plastic cap and applied heat. The color difference was incredible! My dark hair got darker but my white covered with a much darker, richer red color. I am thrilled with the results and will continue to experiment with the color to get the red a bit more brown.

My hair feels so soft and truly looks wonderful! I was wondering how long the color lasts? I can't thank you enough for your patience with me. I was getting discouraged and beginning to give up. I have searched for about 8 years for a natural product that works and didn't think one existed. You have no idea how excited I am to have found your product.

Thanks so very much!

Sincerely, Cindy A.
Westerly, R.I.

The Power of the Flower: Soapnut (Reetha Fruit) for Soft Hair and Skin

The Indian name, Reetha fruit, contains natural soap. Soapnut, Soapberries are given this common name because the fruit pulp is used to make soap. The generic name is derived from the Latin words saponis, meaning “soap,” and indicus, meaning “of India.”

Sapindus is a genus of about five to twelve species of shrubs and small trees in the Lychee family, Sapindaceae, native to warm temperate to tropical regions from ancient to modern times. The flowers form in large panicles, each flower small, creamy white encased in green pinnate or feather-shaped leaves.

The fruit is a small leathery-skinned drupe (a fruit in which an outer skin or fleshy part surrounds a shell or pit with a seed inside –a peach is an example of a drupe). The yellow color of Soapnut ripens to a blackish color, containing one to three seeds.

Soapnut contain saponins which are a natural surfactant. They have been used for washing for thousands of years by native peoples in Asia as well as Native Americans. Besides containing excellent cleansing properties, it is known to keep hair and skin soft. From the ancient days until now, in some parts of the world people make liquid soap from Soapnut, by simply grinding and soaking the fruit overnight. The seed of the fruit contains precious oil. The extract is made by grinding the seed and the pulp to use in shampoo.

Even in modern times, Soapnuts, such as those of Sapindus mukorossi, are a popular ingredient in Ayurvedic shampoos and cleansers. They have been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a treatment for eczema and psoriasis. Soapnuts have gentle insecticidal properties and are traditionally used for removing lice from the scalp. There are other numerous medicinal benefits contained within Soapnuts that modern science is currently “discovering”.

Saba Botanical includes Soapnut (Reetha Fruit) in its list of beneficial ingredients in several products for healthy hair.

Discover your own lustrous benefits for your hair -today. You'll leap for joy!
You can purchase Soapnut (Reetha Fruit) Powder in individual 100 gram packs for only $3.99 each.

“Ayurveda (the "science of life") or Ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian subcontinent and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine.

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 Wildes

Testimonial about Lustrous Henna 100% Natural Hair Color Dye in 9 different natural shades.

"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".

Multani Clay Powder Recipes for Hair

Damaged or Dull Hair Treatment: Moisten hair with warm water. Massage generous amount of natural oil into hair (refined sesame or apricot, shea nut oil, olive oil, etc.) Cover hair with plastic shower cap (or plastic wrap like “Saran” wrap) and a towel. Leave on for a minimum of one hour.

Next: apply a muddy paste of Multani Clay Powder (mixed w/water) to hair and scalp. Leave on for 30 minutes. Using warm water, completely rinse the mud from hair and scalp.

Shampoo with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical). Apply a small amount of refined oil (except olive oil due to scent) to damp, towel dried hair and scalp. Comb through with a wide tooth comb. Let your hair dry naturally.  

 

Split End Treatment:

Massage hair and scalp with olive oil. After 2 hours, steam hair for 30 minutes (wrap a towel dipped in hot water around head, avoiding face). Wash hair using a mix of Multani Clay Powder and whole milk (use buttermilk for oily hair). Let dry naturally. The next day, shampoo hair with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical).

Super Quick Dry Shampoo:

Divide hair into sections and fluff a little Multani Clay Powder through each section. Rub in well and leave on for 10 minutes. Brush out thoroughly with a clean brush. The Multani Clay Powder will absorb most of the oil and dirt from hair. (Can be done if it’s inconvenient to do traditional shampoo).

In our next post, we will share face and body recipes including an excellent recipe to clear away acne.

Testimonial about Lustrous Henna 100% Natural Hair Color Dye in 9 different natural shades.

After buying thousands, and I mean literally thousands of products for my extremely dry, dull, kinky, fine hair that did not work, I reluctantly tried your product because I saw a testimonial on your website from a patron who sounded like she had hair somewhat like mine. I have tried cellophane, which worked pretty good but the problem with that was it lasted no time at all.  It seemed to all come out in the first  washing... I have even purchased other Henna products and threw then in the trash without even trying then on my hair because the texture was like thick garbage and mud I when mixed. 

WOW!  What a difference.  I mean as soon I took it off there was rich color and shine and that was only after one application. My hair hasn't looked like this since I moved away from Chicago 20 years ago.  The water in LA is much harder and combined with the constant sun, my hair was just a dry brittle mess, really.  Other products just seem to sit on top of my hair, yours actually stained, coated and moisturized my hair. The texture of my hair feels different, it is stronger and has body. I can't imagine what it will be like after 3 or 4 applications if it looks like this after one. I certainly will continue to use your product to see. Oh, and it covered the gray wonderfully.  Of course the grey came out lighter that the rest of my darker hair but it just made it look as if I had spent a fortune to have highlights done.  I only wish you could have done a before and after picture of my hair,  you would sell millions.  If this can make my hair look like it belongs on a human beings head again rather that a scare crow, it will work on anyones hair.

Multani Clay, Multani Mitti, Fuller’s Earth… Anyway You Say it, Your Hair, Face & Body Will “Thank You”!

Oily hair? Acne? Suffer from arthritis pain? Some have called it, “miracle clay”.

Multani Clay (Multani Mitti in India) has been used literally for centuries for its multiple natural medicinal benefits for the entire family. It’s also called Fuller’s Earth formed by decomposed volcanic ash. Minerals like alumina, silica, lime, magnesia, iron oxides contained within the clay produce an abundance of healthy nutrition for our entire being.

Multani Clay is extremely absorbent.  It absorbs bacteria, toxins and reduces water loss. Therefore, it’s great for drawing dead cells and excess oils from the skin. It also stimulates circulation to the skin. The skin is then rejuvenated and becomes smooth, soft and supple.

Even after thousands of years, in this era of modern technology, men and women around the globe still use this aged method for controlling excess oil in the scalp. They wash their hair and impurities are removed but the hair still retains its natural moisturizers; thus hair is left soft and radiant.

Multani Clay has also been used as a natural treatment for acne and even to alleviate the pain of arthritis. It can be used as a face mask or full body mask. The only caution is that the clay not be left on the skin for an excessive amount of time because it could cause over drying.

Additionally, Multani Clay can also be used in other ways and it’s extremely affordable. For instance: to strengthen fingernails, teeth and gums. We will be listing other uses on the Saba Botanical website soon.

Saba Botanical is proud to offer Multani Clay to everyone interested in experiencing the benefits for themselves. Simply contact Saba Botanical for ordering. A spa treatment for only $3.99 per 100 gram package. (not a misprint!)

Experience the difference of the ancient marvel:  Multani Clay.

In our next post, we will share some recipes with you, using Multani clay to correct oily scalp, acne and more.

================================================================

I am writing to congratulate you on a superb natural product that I will continue to use on my hair forever!!I had a horrible encounter with an over-the-counter hair dye that contained PPD. I had an emergency room visit and the fear of never being able to cover my grey. I have jet black hair and it really bothered me to not be able to have the choice of bringing back its natural color state. I then found your website and decided to try your Lustrous Henna.

Believe me- at first I was extremely scared, thinking that it would cause another horrific health event- But I did the patch test and all went well, so I applied the paste and I can't believe the results!!!!!!!!! Not only am I NOT IN FEAR OF USING YOUR PRODUCT- but my hair looks absolutely amazing!!

I can't thank you enough for creating this fantastic organic product for those of us that can't tolerate and choose not to use the toxic chemically overloaded hair dyes. I will be a customer for life and intend to spread the word!! A thousand thank you's!!!!!!!

Warmest Wishes,
Ally Shade

Winter is Coming! “Hold On to Your Hats.” Protect Your Lustrous Hair! Part 2 of 2

The same things that our skin needs are the same things our hair needs during winter:

1. Lock in that moisture.  For hair: condition daily (rinse in cooler water to seal in moisture), also use a light homemade leave-in conditioner: simply add enough water to current conditioner, mix well, spray a little in your hand and rub through hair or spritz on hair with a spray bottle; avoid cleansing shampoos that strip and cause extra dryness and frizziness. Shampoo less often with mild shampoo or try a conditioner-only wash (co-wash).

2. Keep hydrated internally. Drink plenty of water. Nourish your hair like you nourish your skin. In other words, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.This will help to keep your hair soft and lustrous.

3. Cooler Showers and Baths; Hot water in winter dries out skin and hair.

4. Sun Protection- Especially important in winter for both skin and hair. The sun can fade hair color quicker.

5. Stay protected from warm but harsh fabrics like wool. Direct contact can cause drying and hair breakage.

a. iVillage writer, Sascha Breuer, suggested the following hat idea: When you're out and about this winter, wear a hat, not only to keep you warm but also to protect your hair from the cold weather. Invest in a hat made of cashmere rather than wool, as wool is very absorbent and will suck the moisture out of your hair, leaving it dry and prone to static. Also, the raw texture of wool is harsh on your hair while cashmere will ensure that it stays looking beautifully smooth and silky when you come in from the cold.

6. You wouldn’t walk outside in winter with naked and wet skin (unless you’re a “little freaky” Polar Bear Club member), so why go outside in the middle of winter with naked and wet hair? Ice does not belong on your hair! It will snap it right off!

a. Cover your dry hair with a scarf, or hat, beret, cap that is satin or silk-lined (you can make these linings yourself or have someone else do it –sew or glue)* If you don’t like hats, try an updo, pulled back in a bun and snood or use clips to hold your hair down to protect scalp from sun.

b. Letting your hair dry naturally is best in winter. Make sure your hair is totally dry before going outside. If this is not possible, cover your hair with a hair-friendly head covering. Remove when you reach your destination and let air dry.

7. Try NOT to turn up the heat. For skin, we can add humidity to a room to avoid extreme dryness. For our hair, it’s really best to avoid heated appliances altogether if we’re willing to go that route. However, if we simply can’t deal with the results then: Use an ionizing heat appliance to reduce heat damage. Point the device away from your scalp, thus avoiding damage to the hair cuticle. Prior to drying, flat ironing or using heated rollers, etc. apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner or thermal heat protection cream to hair. Keep heat on medium to low and use a heat diffuser on blow dryers.

We all love our 100% natural Lustrous Henna® locks. Now is the time to protect them-100%.

Who knows? Maybe even us “Northerners” will greet ol’ man winter with a smile this year…Not!

Winter is Coming! “Hold On to Your Hats.” Protect Your Lustrous Hair! Part 1 of 2

Winter Hair Protection can prove to be a challenge, depending of course on where you live. If like me, you live in a northern part of the country that is cold and snowy in winter, then you understand. If you live in an area that is perfectly sunny and lovely all winter, then we really, really envy you… (and hate you, but only in the nicest way).

Dry indoor heat, Dry outdoor cold = Dry skin. Dry hair.

Dry! Dry! Dry!

Thinking of what winter does to our unprotected skin actually helps us to understand what it will do to our hair if we leave it unprotected during winter months. For example, our hands become extremely dry if we don’t protect them with moisturizing lotions and gloves. If fact, extreme dryness (along with subsequent problems like peeling, itching and eczema) is the number one issue we face when our skin (face, hands, feet, entire body) is not protected from the cold weather. Our hair can also suffer from extreme dryness and can become brittle, damaged, shed and break off.

The same things that our skin needs are the same things our hair needs during winter.

Keep loving your Lustrous Henna locks!
