Itchy Skin? Dry Hands? Try a Natural Treatment.

Itchy Skin and an Old Superstition

There is an old superstition about itchy hands. If your right hand itches, money is coming your way -but don’t scratch it because the money will stop. If your left hand itches, you’ll be paying out money…so it’s okay to scratch the itch!

The superstition might be humorous, but if you really do have an itchy skin problem, it’s no laughing matter. All you desire is –relief from dry skin and itchy hands!

Dry Skin Treatment for Your Hands

Oils, lotions and natural body butters help protect your hands and dry skin. However, to pamper your dry skin, add moisture and suppleness, using an ancient natural treatment that works wonders. The following treatment not only prevents your hands from aging or being abused, but it works equally as well, if your dry skin extends -to your feet.

Note: You will need an assistant.

Hand Massage and “Mask”

1. In a basin. add warm water solution mixed with Pure Reetha Powder Organic Wash. Soak both hands in the water solution 5-10 minutes. Rinse; then gently pat dry.
2. Make a paste with warm water and 2-3 tbsp. of Face and Body Mask Skin Treatment (sold by Saba Botanical of USA).
3. Have assistant apply mask (paste) to each hand. After 15-20 minutes, remove mask by gently rinsing with clean water.
4. After removing mask, if you want to proceed with nail manicure, do so.
5. Finish by having your assistant gently massage hands with cold-pressed castor oil or your favorite natural skin oil; pat dry. Be gentle!

Daily Protection from Itchy Skin

• Use a natural protective barrier for the thin skin covering your hands, like natural cold-pressed castor oil, an excellent emollient to help cure dry skin.
• Wear vinyl or rubber gloves when washing dishes, housecleaning where your hands will come in contact with water, chemicals or other liquids.
• The sun and dry weather can cause excessively dry skin, so protect your hands.
• Use the “Hand Mask” treatment weekly.

No More Itchy Skin!

There’s no need to explain away itchy hands with an old superstition. Take care of your hands daily and protect them. They can become a naturally beautiful part of your body.

Testimonial about Face and Body Mask Skin Treatment 

The Face and Body mask is hands down my favorite product. Many of you know that I’m a spa brat. You can rub me down with just about anything at a spa- mud, seaweed, chocolate, blueberries- I’ve done it all.  

This is one of the best facial masks I have ever tried. It mixes with water and apply the paste. I left it on for about an hour and then washed off. You can feel it tightening on your face and your face just lifting. It is the cheapest facelift you will ever get! After I washed it off I noticed an immediate glow and smoothness to my face. My skin seemed to be much more even-shaded and just wonderful. And, since I only used it on my face, I only used needed a small amount  of the package. So... I could get 3-4 facials; that is my idea of home economics!

Natural Hair, Conditioned and Radiant –from an Ancient Plant.

Want Natural Hair, Conditioned and Radiant from Natural Hair Dye?

Learn about the Henna Plant.

The henna plant is larger than most of us would probably imagine. It actually grows is size from the height of a tall shrub of 6 ½ feet to a small tree of close to 20 feet high (2-6 m). As we note in the picture, the henna plant has numerous branches with spiny tubes attached to delicate flowers with white or red stamens. It contains capsules of fruit with approximately 30-50 seeds.*

Where is the henna plant grown, you ask? It's native to various regions of Africa, Southern Asia, and Northern Australasia. The highest natural dye content is produced in tropical and tropical arid zones. Like most plants, henna flourishes during rainy season. The henna plant also loves the heat. It grows in temperatures of 95˚-115˚F (35˚-45˚C). It’s cultivated various countries in Africa and the Middle East. However, the Pali district in India cultivates and produces the most henna in today’s marketplace.

Henna or Hina (Lawsonia Inermis) is known by a variety of names: Al-Khanna, Al-henna, Jamaica Mignonette, Mehndi, and Mendee. The lawsone, primarily concentrated in the petioles of the leaves, cause staining or dying. However, they must be crushed in order for the lawsone molecules contained within the leaf, to release (when mixed with a mildly acidic liquid, such as found in lemon juice, strong tea, etc.).  Once released, the lawsone gradually bind to the outer layer of the proteins in the skin or hair, thus staining or dying it.

A Word about "Henna Hair".

Fortunately, we don’t have to search for and crush henna ourselves. It is commonly traded as a dried powder from milling and sifting the henna leaf. As a powder, it’s also known as Mendhi and is not only used for hair dying, but natural hair conditioning as well.  Traditionally, for “henna hair”, the henna mix must be soaked for 6 to 12 hours and rest on the hair for 3 to 4 hours or the lawsone in the henna won’t work. “Henna hair” is naturally a bright red-orange color and not a desired shade of hair color in modern society. Is there a natural henna alternative?

Love Your Natural Hair. Avoid "Henna Hair"!

The history of using henna to dye skin (including body art), natural hair, fingernails- even leather, silk and wool, goes back to the Bronze Age. There is an Indian court record of its use as a hair dye during the 4th century.

With such a background and history, it is no wonder that many men and women have no fear using henna for their natural hair or to transition from harmful chemical dye products. Fortunately, Lustrous Henna® is easier to apply than the traditional application method.

Lustrous Henna® all natural hair dye releases in about an hour. It’s much easier to apply, too. This is a real time-saver!  Lustrous Henna® comes in many hair color shades, so no more worries about "henna hair".  Users are extremely pleased with the radiant results of shimmering highlights.

A Customer Testimonial

As a performer, it is essential that my hair always looks it best. As a woman, it is even more important that my hair stays healthy and beautiful. I recently developed an allergy to 'traditional' chemical hair dyes and read that fellow Middle Eastern (Belly) Dancers followed in the footsteps of Cleopatra and treated their hair with henna. And so I did. 

 And I was amazed! Not only did the beautiful henna from Saba Botanical give me the color promised, it also brought my chemically treated, dried, lifeless hair back to health! No longer stiff and lifeless, my silky hair now shimmers in the light with low and highlights beaming through the rich color. 

Thank you SO much for a wonderful product that makes me healthier and my hair more beautiful!

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from 'Black Henna' Dye–Can Be Deadly.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from PPD 'Black Henna' Dye

• Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)¹ in hair dye 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 and can even (in rare instances) result in death.
• Severe PPD allergy can also result in contact urticaria and anaphylaxis on rare occasions.¹
• 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 contact dermatitis and can cause scarring. PPD should never be applied directly to the skin in its pure form or mixed with anything else.”¹

'Black Henna' Ingredient Lists

Below are ingredient lists and quotes from randomly selected henna and chemically mixed products marketed as 'Black Henna' Hair Dye:

“Black henna is a henna based powder hair dye for colouring gray hair in black. India’s largest selling henna based powder hair dye.”

Ingredients: Herbal Henna, Barium Peroxide, Citric Acid, Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)¹

 “We offer the finest Black Henna Hair Dye in standard as well as customized packing to meet the requirements of the clients. Our Black Henna Hair Dye can be used for any type of hair…”

Ingredients Used In Black Henna Hair Dye:  Henna (Lawsonia Inermus), Amla (Emblica Officinalis), Shikakai (Acacia Concinna), Para Phenylenediamine (PPD)¹, Barium Peroxide, Citric Acid, Magnesium Carbonate.

About the Popular Misnomer: 'Black Henna':

The 'Black Henna' name is misused for skin (tattoo) and hair dye products, are not only derived from the plant, but a combination of chemical dye mixed with natural, usually low-grade plants made into a black powder or liquid dye.

• 'Black Henna' is not pure indigo or 'black indigo'.
• The indigo plant is NOT BLACK.
• 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.
• 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'. It is a harmful chemical hair dye.
  
• 'Black Henna' is not pure, nor is it pure henna.
• Pure henna is NOT BLACK.
• 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. 
• Even if pure henna is mixed with para-phenylenediamine (PPD), 'coal tar', it is no longer pure henna, but is a harmful chemical hair dye that can cause severe allergic contact dermatitis and even be deadly.

BUY HENNA HAIR DYE ONLY FROM A REPUTABLE COMPANY AND BE SAFE.

Allergic Reaction Can Be Avoided: Stay Away from “Compound Henna”

Allergic Reaction from a "Natural Henna" Product?

"Compound Henna": We’ve seen it online or on the shelves of drug stores, department stores and even at “professional” beauty supply stores. On the 'natural' henna box, there is an image of a beautiful woman with long, radiant hair that captivates us. We imagine that we are the beautiful model in the picture with a mass of tresses, cascading down our own shoulders.

At this point, we have a decision to make: grab the box and buy the “image” or, we could choose to look past the image on the box and try and find the ingredient label, of this so-called ‘natural’ henna hair dye. What we find (or don’t find) may be surprising.

We normally don't think of the possibility of severe allergic reaction, when we think of 'natural' henna dye, but now is the time to change our thinking. 

What is “Compound Henna” Hair Dye?

It may surprise you to know that not all henna dye mixes are completely herbal or all-natural. “Compound henna” generally is composed of lower quality henna that contains lower dye content and is mixed with harmful additives and synthetic dyes that can cause severe allergic reaction. Even if they don’t contain PPD (para-phenylenediamine), ammonia or peroxide, they may contain harsh metallic salts, alcohol and synthetic dyes. Since the henna is mixed with synthetic dyes and ‘who knows what else’, the mixture is referred to as: “Compound Henna” hair dye.  

Perhaps, you’re wondering, “How can such products be sold without an ingredient label?” It does seem mysterious. However, the answer is that in the countries where the henna is grown, they might not be required to list the ingredients on the label. Once exported, the U.S. importer is not required to re-label the product.

Additionally, the FDA* states, “Because the FPLA does not apply to cosmetic samples and products used exclusively by professionals--for example, for application at a salon, or a booth at a fair or boardwalk--the requirement for an ingredient declaration does not apply to these products.”  

That is why purchasing henna mixed with unknown additives and synthetic dyes can be a costly and potentially dangerous experience.**

• Know What is In Your Henna Hair Dye Package.
• It is absolutely essential to be very selective when choosing henna hair dye.
• Avoid Allergic Reaction.
• Avoid "Compound Henna".
• Be Wise: Use Lustrous Henna 100% All Natural Hair Dye.
• Lustrous Henna is NOT “Compound Henna”.

Natural Dyes for Hair- An Option Worth Considering

Radiant Hair reflects a person's state of health, as well as creates that beautiful look that we all want to keep forever!

Have you ever thought about natural dyes as a hair color option?

Did you know that you natural dyes will also bring out highlights, add shading or cover your gray hair?

Natural Dyes for Hair Color -An Option Worth Considering

Using a natural product, such as Lustrous Henna hair dye is very safe and beneficial to your natural hair than a conventional hair dye. Conventional hair dye may completely damage your hair and scalp with prolong use.

Why Avoid Conventional Hair Dyes?

"Conventional dyes contain high level of toxic chemicals that can be absorbed through the scalp, where there is a rich blood supply. Then these chemicals circulate throughout your body, where they can be stored in the tissues and cause adverse health effects," says Marianne Marchese, ND, who practices natural medicine at a Woman's Time Clinic in Portland, Oregon.

A recent hair color study conducted at Yale University found a link between permanent hair dye and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One study for example, suggested that woman over the age of 50 who have used permanent hair dyes for ten or more years have an increased risk of breast cancer. Yet another discovered that users of permanent hair dyes are 2:1 times more likely to have bladder cancer. Other studies have linked the use of hair dyes to allergies and skin disorders like eczema and to far more serious diseases like leukemia and ovarian cancer.

Such study results should not be surprising when one considers the number of toxic ingredients used by both salon and consumer hair color formulas. In one analysis of popular brands and formulations, Consumer Reports found nearly 20 different ingredients that were classified as potential human carcinogens. The suspects included such heavy oncological hitters as coal tar derivatives, para-phenylenediamine (PPD), (which can also cause blindness), bezenediamine dihydrochloride, and aminonline dihydrochloride. Other hazardous ingredients include, ammonia, peroxide and lead, a heavy metal commonly found in products that gradually color hair over time with many repeated applications.

Fortunately, a nontoxic alternative to synthetic hair colorants does exist:

Lustrous Henna® 100% natural hair dye is an innovation in hair color treatment.

Lustrous Henna® is available in many natural shades.

Lustrous Henna ® will help you become an all-natural beauty with radiant highlights!

About Highlighting by Chemical Processing of Natural Hair

“Hair highlighting/lowlighting refers to changing a person's hair color, using lightener or hair color to color strands of natural hair in varying sizes. There are four basic types of highlights: foil highlights, hair painting, frosting, and chunking. Highlights can be done in natural or unnatural hair color. Hair lightened with bleach is considered permanent.”

Using chemical process to achieve this effect is unsafe and dangerous to natural hair color. It can also cause skin irritation and other adverse effects.

Basic foil highlighting

“Foil highlighting is the process of using foil to separate strands of hair which will be lightened from strands of hair which will remain its natural color.^[1] The process is done by applying lightener to the hair that has been woven and separated using an applicator brush. The foil is then folded as to protect the hair and surrounding area during the "processing" time. This is the amount of time required to achieve the desired results. In highlighting hair hydrogen peroxide mixed with pigment is used to change the color of the strand.^[2] This process is also used in applying "lowlights" to the hair. In this process, hair dyes are used to create strands of hair that are darker than the natural hair color. The foils are often used to separate hair strands for high and low lights during the same process.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

Hair painting

“Hair painting is a method of highlighting natural hair color that may be done at home. Hair painting methods are often permanent and employ a simple hair-painting brush. Hair painting is also used with temporary and semi-permanent types of brushes. While brushes are commonly used in hair painting, one may also use combs to paint or highlight thin-sized strands of hair. Balayage is a technique referring to free-form painting on clean, styled hair. The results are subtle and more natural looking than foiling or chunking.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

Frosting

“Frosting refers to the process of free-hand lightening the tips of the hair, and is generally performed on men with short hair.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

Chunking

“Chunking refers to a style of highlight which is larger and thicker than a traditional highlight, rather than to a method of creating highlights.^[3] Chunky highlights are generally offered in a wider variety of bold natural colors, as well as a large number of artificial, or unnatural hair color, used to create more contrast, rather than subtle texture, as in traditional, thinner highlights.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

According to leading dermatologists, more variety of colors mean more chemical compounds* that are potentially dangerous to the hair and hair shaft.

*Italics ours. ** Most synthetic and many so-called "natural" hair dyes contain PPD (para-phenylenediamine, a dangerous chemical contained in numerous hair dye products.) It has been banned in Europe.

In its dry state, you can take it 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 it 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 shampoos.

About “Dry Shampoo”

Dry shampoo has a number of benefits 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. If you really want a dry shampoo that has been used for centuries and is very inexpensive, try  Multani Mitti Clay Powder (Fullers Earth) sold at Saba Botanical of USA. Simply part hair; apply a small amount; brush through hair, then brush out vigorously.

However, dry shampoo is not a substitute for a regular hair washing and conditioning.

True or False -More Hair Stories.

True or False Hair Care: You should brush your hair 100 strokes every day.

False.  Brush hair lightly, only to style it, because brushing pulls hairs out of their follicles and possibly weakens individual strands.

True or False Hair Care: Rinsing with ice-cold water after a shampoo will give you shinier hair.

False. It might wake you up, but a dousing of cold water will have no effect on the shininess of your tresses.

True or False Hair Care: Some hairstyles can cause hair fall.

True. Styles that put too much tension on hair – such as tight plaits, ponytails, cornrows or winding too tightly onto rollers (especially heated rollers) – can cause some hair loss.

True or False Hair Loss Stories

Stress will make your hair fall out.

True. Stress reduces blood circulation at the scalp and a healthy scalp needs blood flow.

My hair will fall out if I eat too much steak.

False. There is no link with hair loss and consumption of red meats, such as steak. Seriously?! What kind of hair care is this???

A problem with your thyroid cause you to lose handfuls of hair at a time.

True. Either an under-active or over-active thyroid can cause one to lose hair. Check with your internist or endocrinologist to be sure your thyroid levels are where they need to be.

Wigs and toupees can make hair loss worse.

False. Hair doesn’t need to breathe. Only the roots are alive, and they get their oxygen from the blood in the scalp. Wigs and hairpieces only damage hair if they are too tight.

Hair dyes can cause hair loss.

True. Most hair-coloring treatments contain chemicals that, if not properly used, are harmful to hair. Use all natural plant-based hair dye.

Stress can cause hair loss.

True. Stressful episodes, such as an accident or surgery, can cause hair production to shut down temporarily. However, stress does not cause male-pattern baldness.

Hormone problems can cause hair loss.

True. Problems with your thyroid gland can cause hair loss. Women may have short-term hair loss shortly after pregnancy.

Steroids can cause hair loss.

True. Steroid use can cause hair loss. Research has proven that anabolic steroids increase the levels of male hormones that induce baldness.

Blow drying doesn't cause permanent hair loss.

True. Blow drying can damage, burn or dry the hair, which can cause it to fall out, but this hair will grow back immediately. It is not considered to be permanent hair loss.
