Lustrous Henna®

Natural Highlights Love the Golden Benefits of Cassia Obovata

Natural highlights of hair color like ash blonde hair or other lighter hair shades can be made radiant with Cassia Obovata. Cassia Obovata is a green powder like henna, but unlike henna it does not deposit any color if left on for short time periods. Cassia Obovata is an excellent conditioning herb, also known to help with the hair loss. Cassia Obovata can be mixed with other herbs as Amla, Shikakai for conditioning and other health benefits to hair & scalp.

According to Wikipedia, “Another Senna, Senna italic a ssp. italic a (= Cassia obovata), often called "neutral henna", is used as a hair treatment with effects similar to henna but without the red color. The active component is an anthraquinone derivative called chrysophanic acid. It adds a slight yellow color.”

The yellow color is left when the Cassia Obovata (Senna) made into a paste and is left on the hair for long periods of time. That why various shades of blonde hair, like ash blonde hair and golden hair gain beautiful natural highlights.      

Cassia Obovata (Senna) will naturally condition all textures of hair, adding luster and supple definition. It is also known to improve scalp condition and eliminates dandruff. If you have is ash blonde hair, golden blonde or gray hair, it will brighten and add golden hues and natural highlights (depending on length of time the paste left on your hair). If you have dark hair color, it will not lighten your hair, but you will still reap the deep conditioning benefits found in pure Cassia Obovata (Senna). Cassia Obovata is also safe to use on relaxed, bleached or dyed hair.

Cassia Obovata is REALLY Cassia Obovata –Not “Neutral Henna

Cassia Obovata is also called Senna (Senna Obovata). There are over 400 species of the Cassia Obovata plant. The ground powder is made from harvested, dried leaves of the Cassia Obovata plant. Although it has various medicinal uses, this powder is often used to condition, thicken, define natural highlights and color the hair. Lighter hair color like ash blonde hair, golden hair and others naturally benefit from this plant.

About the Misnomer: “Neutral Henna”

Look at the 2 pictures to the left of this sentence. The image on the left is a drawing of the Henna plant. The image on the right is a drawing of the Cassia Obovata plant. Quite a difference, don't you agree?

Cassia Obovata or Senna is an herb that is frequently marketed by several companies as “Neutral Henna”. Of course this questionable marketing practice causes much confusion to the consumer. As noted above, Cassia Obovata has a number of beneficial properties that help condition and soften the hair. However pure Cassia Obovata is not Henna or made from the Henna plant as is the case with a genuine “Neutral Henna” powder mixture.

The staining and conditioning properties of Cassia Obovata or Senna (similar to Henna staining and conditioning) might be one of the reasons it is often marketed as “neutral henna”.

Please Don’t Get Confused:

Genuine “Neutral Henna” from Saba Botanical of USA is not Cassia Obovata (Senna) –or vice versa.

Be assured that, when you buy Cassia Obovata (Senna) from Saba Botanical of USA, it is called: "Cassia Obovata" (Senna). It is not called, “Neutral Henna”. Saba Botanical’s “Neutral Henna” is called: Lustrous Henna® Neutral.

Lustrous Henna® Neutral does not contain Cassia Obovata (Senna), but is in fact made from the stems of the Henna plant. (First ingredient: Lawsonia Inermis). This is combined with other beneficial plants and herbs that also promote healthy hair conditioning and growth.

As you might have noticed above, there is no “neutral henna plant”. At Saba Botanical of USA, “Neutral Henna” is a natural powder mixed from the henna plant, along with other naturally beneficial botanical ingredients. The ingredients of Lustrous Henna ® Neutral sold by Saba Botanical of USA are as follows:

Lawsonia Inermis, Aloe Vera, Bacopa monnieri, Eclipta alba, Accacia concinna, Punica granatum.

Therefore, if you have lighter hair color (ash blonde hair, golden blonde, etc.) or darker hair and want both pure all-natural Cassia Obovata (Pure Senna) and genuine Neutral Henna to improve the condition of your hair, buy them from a reputable source: Saba Botanical of USA.

Imbue™ Natural Conditioner

Imbue Natural Conditioner. This is a pleasant smelling--not perfumey--conditioner. It helps keep my hair moist in the arid winter months (Utah). Great product! Salt Lake City, Utah

Pure Indigo for Hair

Indigo for Hair. This is great for darkening up your own color recipe. Advice is to start with small amounts of indigo and gradually increase the amount by about 5g or so. I really like the richness it adds. Salt Lake City, UT

Senna Leaves Powder

Senna Leaves Powder. I mixed this the night before and let it sit out overnight to bring the color out, then applied it the next day. Senna (Cassia) helps bring out the shine and natural softness and helps soften my own henna/indigo/senna recipe for a personal color.Salt Lake City, UT

So Natural Nurturing Shampoo

So Natural Nurturing Shampoo. This is not a perfumey shampoo, and it does not strip your hair of its natural oils or wash coloring out. I wash my hair every other day and have found I seldom even need conditioner, but maybe once a week. This shampoo is well worth its price. Salt Lake City, UT

How to Stop Hair Fall and Add 6 Inches to Your Hair Length

Use Natural Ayurvedic Products Known to Promote Hair Growth 

Shikakai (Fruit for Hair), Acacia Concinna

Shikakai (Acacia Concinna) is a small shrub-like tree which is grown in dry plains of Indian-sub continent. For centuries the people who have had access to this tree have used its pod-like fruit to clean their hair. They collect, dry and grind this pod into a powder which is 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". The grinded powder or an extract of this pod is used in many hair care preparations, such as hair oils, shampoo and conditioners.

Soapnut (Reetha Fruit), Spindus Mukorossi

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. From the ancient days until now in some parts of the world people make liquid soap, 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.

Amla (Amla Fruit), Phyllanthus Emblica

Amla is wonderful cleansing agent for both the skin and hair. It imparts luster to hair and protects from dandruff, also helps prevent premature graying. It stimulates growth of hair on the scalp, and strengthens the hair roots. Amla extract in the shampoo does not deposit any color on the hair and can be used by everyone alike. Amla extract helps replace the nourishment lost by hair gels, chemical hair color and hair spray. Another common use of this fruit is in medicines and tonics, since it is extremely rich in vitamin C.

Bhringraj, Eclipta Alba

Bhringraj herb is an Ayurvedic and Yunani medicine. The extract obtained from the plant is used for medicinal purposes, and also known to be very beneficial to the skin and hair, with great conditioning properties.

Fenugreek, Trigonella Foenum-Graecum

Fenugreek seeds contain essential oil. In the essential oil, 40 different valuable compounds are found. Extract is used in cosmetic preparations. Years ago, people used to soak fenugreek seeds overnight, 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

Aloe Vera Gel

Native to Africa, is also known as lily of the desert, the plant of immortality and medicine plant. Its medicinal and healing properties have been known to man for over 4000 years. Aloe Vera Gel is excellent for improving overall condition of hair and to stop hair fall and promote growth.

Jojoba Oil

Crushed from the seed of a shrub (Simmondsia Chinesis) from the sonoran Desert of Southern California.. Jojoba oil is odorless and absorbs deep into the skin, resulting in a smooth satin appearance. It is also beneficial for healthy scalp care.

Did you know that the above botanicals are contained in many of the natural shampoos, conditioners and herbal powder mixes from Saba Botanical of USA?

Check out the ingredient labels of Lustrous Henna® All-Natural Hair Color Dye and Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder, as well as other products. Saba Botanical also sells other botanicals that are known to stop hair fall and promote hair growth. Read more about them on the website and blog.

If you continue, you can add 6 inches of growth to your hair in a year, since hair normally grows on average of about a half an inch per month. The key is to learn how to properly care for your hair by stopping hair fall and use the products at Saba Botanical of USA to promote healthy hair growth.

The Power of the Flower: Cassia Obovata (Senna)

About Cassia Obovata

Cassia Obovata is also called Senna (Senna Obovata). There are over 400 species of the Cassia Obovata plant. The ground powder is made from harvested, dried leaves of the plant. Although it has various medicinal uses, this powder is often used to condition, thicken, define and color the hair.

Cassia Obovata (Senna) will naturally condition all textures of hair, adding luster and supple definition. It is also known to improve scalp condition and eliminates dandruff.

A testimonial about Lustrous Henna®

“I was so excited to try out this henna dye! But so nervous at the same time! I have never dyed my hair before and I decided to go with the Lustrous Henna® Mahogany to give my hair a little red touch!

Thanks to my husband's help, it was really easy to do and took about a couple hours to complete the whole process. I loved that I could do it in the comfort and privacy of my own home and watch TV at the same time! It made the time go by really fast!

It was also great to know I got a beautiful color but without all the harmful ingredients! The color came out pretty red at first but it eventually blended in and looked gorgeous! I love my new hair color and I can't wait to buy a different color next time!

I recommend Saba Botanical Lustrous Henna Hair Color for all men and women who either want to cover grays or just want a new hair color/change like me! The colors are gorgeous, don't dry your hair out, and are safe for everyone to use!” Read more.

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 W. (Portland, CT)

Truly Neutral Henna –Fact or Fiction? You Decide. Part 2 of 2

TRUE NEUTRAL HENNA IS NOT A MYTH.

Fact:  Truly Neutral Henna does indeed exist. It is a powder made from the stem of the henna plant and does not emit color, but accentuates the natural highlights in the hair and is also a hair conditioner.  This powder can also be combined with other natural botanicals to increase the conditioning properties.

Caveat emptor (Let the Buyer Beware).

Know the reputation of the company marketing Neutral Henna. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. It’s your hair.

About Cassia Obovata

Important note: Cassia Obovata or Senna is an herb that is frequently marketed as “Neutral Henna”. Cassia Obovata has a number of beneficial properties that help condition and soften the hair. However, it is not Henna or made from the Henna plant as is the case with True Neutral Henna. 

According to Wikipedia, “Another senna, Senna italica ssp. italica (= Cassia obovata), often called "neutral henna", is used as a hair treatment with effects similar to henna but without the red color. The active component is an anthraquinone derivative called chrysophanic acid, which is also found in higher concentrations in rhubarb root. It adds a slight yellow color.”

Therefore, if you want Cassia Obovata to condition your hair, buy Cassia Obovata. However, if you want True Neutral Henna, buy it from a reputable source.

About True Neutral Henna from Saba Botanical of USA

The ingredients of Neutral Henna powder sold by Saba Botanical of USA are as follows:

 Lawsonia Inermis, Aloe Vera, Bacopa monnieri, Eclepta alba, Accacia concinna, Punica granatum.

Saba Botanical’s Neutral Henna does not contain Cassia Obovata, but is in fact made from the stems of the Henna plant. (First ingredient: Lawsonia Inermis). This is combined with other beneficial plants and herbs that promote healthy hair conditioning and growth.

 

Whew! Neutral Henna is no longer an enigma. Are we clear on that?

Truly Neutral Henna –Fact or Fiction? You Decide. Part 1of 2

Which of the following statements* is a true fact?

 A.    “If you have a box of green stuff that says “neutral henna”, that green powder is neither neutral nor henna.  There is no such plant as neutral henna! Henna is Lawsonia inermis, and has a red-orange dye molecule. The green "neutral henna" powder is most likely to be Cassia Obovata leaf!”

B.    “Neutral Henna does not really exist, but people still ask for it. It looks very much like henna but is not. It is a conditioner for the hair called, Cassia Obovata.” 

C.    “The stem of the henna plant is neutral. It doesn't color the hair. Rather, neutral henna makes the hair stronger and softer.”

D.    “Henna is traded in dried or powdered form.  It is classified into three varieties – green, black and neutral.  Neutral henna is made from the stem of the henna plant.  Neutral henna does not colour the hair, but accentuates the hair’s natural highlights and conditions.  It is used in powdered form, mixed with water.”

E.    Cassia Obovata is an herb that is frequently marketed as “Neutral Henna”.

Answers

Totally true: C, D, E

Partly true: A

False: B

Explanation of answers: 

C, D, and E are totally true. Knowing this will help you to understand more about Neutral Henna.

A is only partly true, because the green powder could be Neutral Henna, a powder made other parts of the henna plant (not the leaf). True Neutral Henna powder is not the plant in its entirety, but is made from the plant. On the flip side, the green powder could be Cassia Obovata and not True Neutral Henna.

B is false because it basically states patently that anything marketed as Neutral Henna is always Cassia Obovata.

Surprised? Confused? That’s completely understandable.

Confusion and misconceptions driven by the increasing demand for pure henna and natural henna-based products have saturated the marketplace. Misleading advertising has also contributed to the seeming enigma known as Neutral Henna.

In our next post, we will clarify and solve this puzzle.
