Closing our eyes to avoid reading hair dye “danger signs” won’t make them go away.
Most of us have read or heard about the dangers of coloring our hair with dyes containing the chemical para-phenylenediamine (PPD).
Are we really listening, learning and heeding the warnings? Or do we choose to ignore the ‘danger signs’?
Really what kind of ingredient is PPD?
According to the FDA, American Cancer Society, CDC, NIH, National Cancer Institute and a plethora of other consumer organizations, PPD is known to:
Cause allergic reactions including redness, rashes, sores, burning sensations, itching and headaches.
Be a possible carcinogen after oxidation, linked to increasing the occurrence of various forms of cancer such as: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Multiple myeloma, Breast Cancer, Leukemia, Bladder Cancer.
So what’s guy or girl to do? Are there alternative hair coloring dyes that are genuinely all natural that won’t damage our health? Can we have great looking hair color without using harmful, deadly chemical dyes? Yes we can!
Lustrous Henna® 100% All-Natural Plant-based Hair Color Dye has been recommended by numerous dermatologists. Avoid the harmful effects of PPD. Keep your eyes open and heed the “danger signs”. Lustrous Henna® is your safe escape from potential hair and skin disaster.
Another testimonial about Lustrous Henna
Hi, my name is Krista and I just wanted to share my experience with using Lustrous Henna.
I have naturally curly fine hair that is now 40%gray. I had been dying my hair with the traditional dyes for years. Last year my hair was severely damaged by having a professional put a color remover on my hair to remove old, too dark dye.After the application, my hair was what they call "bubble gum" hair in the industry. It was like rubber when wet and snapped off when it was dry.I was told that there was no cure for this and I would just have to cut it all off and that I couldn't use any chemicals on it.
I was searching the internet for a protein treatment that would strengthen my hair. When I read about the conditioning properties of henna and it colored the gray without chemicals, I placed an order that day. My before and after picture speak for themselves but let me just tell you more.After using the Lustrous Henna just one time, my hair was softer and shinier than before it was damaged.It took about 2 months and 2 more applications of the Lustrous Henna and not blow drying my hair, the breakage stopped. Iwork in a spa and the hairstylists that told me I would have to cut it off couldn't believe the recovery my hair made.
Here are some other benefits I have noticed since using your product. My hair started sprouting new growth all over my scalp! My hair is twice as thick(the hair bands I use prove it) as before. My hairis naturally curly and it is much easier to blow dry straight now.I had used red dyes before, but they never looked like a natural red, it faded fast and every hair was the same color, not to mention I was putting awful chemicals on my head!
I just love the multi-tonal highlights that the Lustrous Henna gives my hair. The streaks in my hair in the picture are not bleached highlights, that is my natural color showing through. I use the Lustrous Henna Red on the roots of my hair and the natural henna on the rest of my hair to give it depth and to look naturally sun bleached like a child's hair. I would also like to mention that I have gotten wonderful customer service from Saba Botanical. I have spoken to Syed on the phone for advice on colors and application and he is a wonderful, knowlegeable person. My orders have arrived in the mail the same week I ordered them.
Thank You for saving my hair with your wonderful product. I will be a loyal customer for years to come.
