Lustrous Henna®

Hair Care Transitioning from Chemicals to Natural? Get Rescued!

Hair Care Transitioning.

Planning to do the “big chop”? Cutting away all of the chemical perms and relaxers from your hair, to start fresh with new growth, may seem palatable to many women. They can totally focus on natural hair only, even if it means wearing a much shorter hairstyle.

However, many women can’t stand the thought of having super short natural hair after years of a much longer mane. They prefer to maintain and care for two types of hair until their natural hair length meets their satisfaction. When happy with the length of their natural hair, only then will they do the “big chop” and cut away all the chemically-altered hair.

Others feel that it's better to don a wig, braid or weave attachments to their natural hair to improve their hair care self-perception or self-esteem.

I tried your Lustrous Henna (Soft) Black and the sample of your Imbue
shampoo. I'm so pleased with the results of the Lustrous Henna (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. I like the way you have changed your
website as it is very informative and much more user friendly.

Thank you,
Jacqueline

Deep Repair Masque for Really Dry Hair

Okay, so maybe your hair isn’t damaged, but you have really, really dry hair. If you don’t spend the time to give it the moisture it craves, you can risk damaging your hair follicle. Therefore, here are some recipes for dry hair.

Dry Hair Deep Repair Masque #1

Mix a teaspoon of each: olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and 1 tablespoon of honey. Massage and smooth gently into the scalp. Do NOT comb hair with honey in it, USE YOUR HANDS to smooth.

Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for  20 minutes. Shampoo with Imbue™ Natural Shampoo or Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles.  Repeat this 3-4 times a week. This treatment will strengthen hair follicle, reconstruct, moisturize, soften hair and remove frizz.

Dry Hair Deep Repair Masque #2

Make a paste by mixing:

 2 egg yolks, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. almond oil, 2 tsp. brandy,  2 tbsp. each of Amla, Reetha and Shikakai powder. Enough water to make paste

Gently part hair and massage mixture on the scalp, first, then throughout hair. Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for 30 minutes.

Deep Repair Masque -Recipes for Damaged Hair.

Deep Repair Masque -Recipes for Damaged Hair.

You’ve finally done it. You’ve pulled and twisted and tugged and fried and starved your hair into a state of panic. All is not lost if you spend the time to take care of your hair properly. You MUST have a regular hair care routine if you want healthy hair. No one wants damaged hair, so let’s start with a couple of deep repair masque recipes to get your hair on the road to wellness.

Damaged Hair Deep Repair Masque #1

Blend together the following in a bowl: 3 egg yolks;1 cup of full-fat mayonnaise (let mayo warm to room temperature); ½ cup of olive oil (some folks prefer extra-virgin olive oil also known as, EVOO). Makes 1-2 hair treatments, depending on your hair length.

Apply this mixture to your hair thoroughly –from root to tip-and gently massage it in for 3-5 minutes. Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for  20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles No need to shampoo. It’s best to use this masque when you have time to spend to let your hair dry naturally. There will be some oil left in your hair but it will be conditioning your hair until your next shampoo.

BTW: when ready to shampoo, suggest to shampoo with totally natural and extremely gentle: Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder since it doesn’t soap up much and contains more conditioning herbs –no need to use other conditioner.

Note: This hair masque is best used immediately after mixing. (When mixture is refrigerated and cold, the fats and oils can’t penetrate the hair follicles as well.)

Damaged Hair Deep Repair Masque #2

½ cup of full-fat mayonnaise, 1/2 of a ripe or over-ripe avocado, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup almond oil, 1 small jar of organic bananas baby food (won’t leave stuff in hair)

Make sure avocado is completely mashed and blend everything together until smooth, like pudding, with no separation of color.  Apply this mixture to your hair thoroughly –from root to tip-and gently massage it in for 3-5 minutes.

Cover your head with shower cap; then cover with a towel to keep the heat in. Leave on for  20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Final part of rinse: use cold water for about a minute to close follicles. No need to shampoo. It’s best to use this masque when you have time to spend to let your hair dry naturally. There will be some oil left in your hair but it will be conditioning your hair until your next shampoo.

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!

Scalp Problems this Winter? Protect Your Winter Skin.

Scalp Problems:  Avoided by Proper Skin Care

The same things that our skin needs are the same things our scalp needs during winter. Thinking of what winter does to our unprotected skin actually helps us to understand what it will do to our natural 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. Scalp problems could also be caused by extreme dryness and natural hair can become brittle, damaged, shed and break off.

Winter hair protection can prove to be a challenge, especially if you live in a northern part of the country that is cold and snowy in winter. The heating system is turned on and if we're not careful, the dry indoor heat will cause dry skin and scalp problems. This creates dry natural hair that will no longer be a crown of beauty. Scalp problems lead to other serious conditions.

Remember the following and protect natural hair, too:

Sunscreen is for Winter too!

Your skin can be damaged by the winter sun and snow glare. Approximately 30 minutes before going outside, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to your face and hands (if exposed).

Use the Humidifier to Save Your Skin and Hair

Humidifier help replace the moisture in the air. Heating systems cause dry air. Dry air causes dry skin. Dry skin leads to dry scalp problems and damaged hair.

Short Warm Baths, Short Warm Showers

Avoid hot baths because the intense heat can destroy the skin’s lipid barriers and cause dry skin. Add oatmeal or baking soda for added moisture if your skin is extremely dry and itchy.

Use an oil-based moisturizer in winter.

Better yet, use oil as a moisturizer for your skin. Castor oil is an excellent emollient for dry skin. Just a little will leave your skin very soft and supple. 

Take care of your natural hair this winter and you'll love it in the springtime!

A customer review about Lustrous Henna:

I just applied my Lustrous Henna yesterday. I then went out to lunch with my 16 year old son and was asked if he was my brother! Your product has made my hair shiny and soft. It gives my white hairs a beautiful reddish highlight and seems to have knocked about 10 years off my real age. I am assuming they meant a much older sister, just not old enough to be his mother.

Seriously, I have tried this product before, and I do have to apply it more frequently than others since I wash my hair every other day. It does leave my hair with beautiful shine, highlights, and volume, better than anything else, and it is gentle. I will just have to get used to applying it about once a month, because I have a lot of white hair. Thanks for a great product!

Hair Loss Concerns? Dermatologist Visit Can Help.

Hair Loss Concerns...

Dermatologist? Not Usually a Natural Hair Care Theme

“All Natural Herbal Hair Coloring/Natural Hair Dying Education. Focused on: Non-toxic PPD-free Hair Dye for Men and Women, Vegetable Based Hair Color Dye for Gray Hair Cover. Face, Skin and Body Care combining Ancient Botanicals with modern Earth-Friendly, Green Living.”

As alluded to in our top banner, the LustrousHenna.com blog is primarily devoted to naturally improving overall hair and skin condition though the use of ancient botanicals. However, in today’s modern age, there are a number of afflictions that can affect the growth of hair in men and women that could be due to an underlying medical condition that might warrant a visit to a dermatologist. An abnormal thyroid, hormonal changes from conditions like pregnancy or menopause; even medications for blood pressure and gout can contribute to hair loss (hair fall).

Natural Cures Help Hair Loss (Hair Fall)

If hair loss is a temporary condition, due to undue stress, temporary illness or similar issue, then proven home remedies and ancient natural cures can help stop hair loss (hair fall). Natural cures include a change in diet (quite beneficial) as we have written in a number of articles in our blog archives. Exercise (also a part of natural cures) help improves overall health and can boost self-esteem while treating some causes of hair loss (hair fall).

The botanical extracts and powders on the Saba Botanical website are well-known to be natural cures for hair loss (hair fall), used for literally centuries. In our modern day, they have proven to be truly beneficial home remedies.

Hair Loss (Hair Fall) Due To Physical and Emotional Stress

According to the American Hair Loss Council*, surgeries and stress can temporarily affect hair growth:

“Surgeries, severe illnesses and emotional stress can cause hair loss. The body simply shuts down production of hair during periods of stress since it is not necessary for survival and instead devotes its energies toward repairing vital body structures. In many cases there is a three month delay between the actual event and the onset of hair loss. Furthermore, there may be another three month delay prior to the return of noticeable hair regrowth. This then means that the total hair loss and regrowth cycle can last 6 months or possibly longer when induced by physical or emotional stress. There are some health conditions which may go undetected that can contribute to hair loss. These include anemia or low blood count and thyroid abnormalities. Both of these conditions can be detected by a simple, inexpensive blood test.”

Dermatologist Visit Really Needed?

If you are concerned that your hair loss is excessive, then it’s best to visit a dermatologist. In fact the American Hair Loss Council suggests the following:

“First have your hair loss diagnosed by a competent dermatologist who sees hair loss patients on a regular basis. Once you know the diagnosis you will have a better understanding of exactly which treatment option may be best for you.”

Best Henna Hair Dye for Pregnant Moms

Henna hair dye is all natural and safe during fetal development, especially during pregnancy in the first trimester, is the best hair dye. Henna hair dye is the natural choice, but traditional henna hair dye application method can be too lengthy and cumbersome for many pregnant women.

Chemical Hair Dye is Not the Best Hair Dye for Pregnant Women

It is strongly recommended by most obstetricians, gynecologists and other health care professionals, that pregnant women NOT use permanent hair dye during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Your baby is undergoing very important neurological fetal development during your first three months of pregnancy. Low levels of permanent chemical dye are absorbed into the scalp and passed through the body and have been identified in urine samples.

Hair Dye -Avoid Toxic Metallic Salts!

Question: If Metallic Salts are Dangerous to Use in Dying Textiles,

Why Use them in Hair Dye?

I’ve been called a “Mixed-Media Fiber Artist” for many years now, due to my love of transforming textiles in to art. I also enjoy naturally-dyed fabrics and other fibers, still desiring to do all my own dying…one day. So with an avid interest in this subject, I was naturally drawn to the parallel between the process of fixing natural dyes to textiles and the general process of dying human hair.

Generally, in dying natural textiles the objective in selecting a mordant (a substance that sets the dye) is to try and select the least toxic one! Metallic salts are commonly used as a mordant in textile dying and a tremendous amount of caution has to be exercised. Please view the following informative video regarding setting up and recording the mordant used in the natural textile dying process. As you listen, think of how much care is used and what the instructor actually states about metallic salts.

Henna Hair Dye Baked Release Method

-Turns My Stubborn Resistant Gray Hair to Jet Black Hair

Using Lustrous Henna® is the quickest way I know of to naturally color my hair. The natural ingredients are premixed to laboratory specifications without any chemicals, saving me a ton of precious time. It only takes about 90 minutes from start-to-finish to color hair with Lustrous Henna® Hair Dye.  

This “baked” method takes -about 5 hours- from prep to completion. I honestly can’t remember where I learned about this method to speed up the release and application of pure henna (when compared to the traditional overnight method of approximately 10-24 hours). However, I’ve never been disappointed with the results to achieve jet black hair.

My disclaimer: This is my personal ‘recipe’…

“Compound Henna” Hair Dye is a Dangerous Mix.

The "Compound Henna" Temptation.

We’ve seen them on the shelves, with an image of a beautiful woman with long, radiant hair. We imagine that image with only, this time with ourselves 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.

This product either appears to contain no ingredients, since there is no label to be found or it contains inferior henna mixed with ‘who knows what’ There is a third choice we can make at this point, but first let’s discuss the following.
