Lustrous Henna®

Hair Follicle Defined, Myth vs. Fact

The Hair Follicle. What Is It?

Hair follicle: A sac from which a hair grows and into which the sebaceous (oil) glands  o pen. The follicle is lined by ce lls derived from the epidermal (outside) layer of the skin.

Each follicle normally goes through a five-year cycle of growth and rest, with about 90% of the follicles growing hair at any one time, averaging about six inches (15 cm) of growth per year. Derived from the Latin word follis, for bag.*

Hair Follicle Facts and Myths

Many folks use the term “hair follicle” or “follicle” to describe something entirely different. For example, Rinsing hair in cold water closes the cuticle layer of the hair and this (not the follicle) makes the hair reflect light.

Myth: Plucking Your Gray Hair Will Cause Lots More to Grow 

Fact: Plucking gray hair will damage the papilla (not the follicle) and after repeated plucking, the hair will stop growing in that spot. Therefore, plucking gray hair over and over can cause serious infection and scarring. Better to cover gray hair naturally, instead of plucking it and causing hair loss.

Myth: Wearing a Hat will Strain the Hair Follicle Causing Hair Loss 

 A properly fitted hat or cap will not cause hair loss or cause harm to the hair follicle.

However, constantly wearing a tight hat can cause thinning, pull hair out and leading to permanent hair loss around hairline. Wearing a dirty hat can cause a scalp infection that can result in hair loss.

Therefore, wear a clean, proper fitting hat or cap and your hair will remain on your head.

A Real Testimonial

"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".

Customer Review #1

“I absolutely love the products and have received lots of comments on how soft my hair is!!! I had a beautician tell me that unless I cut my hair off, it will never be healthy again. I cannot wait to go back to her and show her that with natural products and not their products, my hair is healthy, but not again, it is better than it ever was!!!! Thank you for such a commitment to a wonderful product!!!”

-Laura T., Lebanon, IN. USA

Customer Review #2

“I have been using Lustrous Henna for about 5 years now. I used the medium brown early on and this gave me really nice coverage, but I later switched to the combination of 3 parts Golden Blonde and 1 part soft black (about 1 pack of golden blonde and about 1 tablespoon of soft black) which is what I am currently using. This combination is just what I was looking for in that it gave me the coverage as well as the highlights in the areas of my hair that were beginning to gray.

My hair feels so conditioned after I apply Lustrous Henna and I usually get 1 1/2 to 2 months out of an application. If you shampoo with a natural, non-harsh shampoo and wash every other day or so this seems to lengthen the coverage time. Wonderful product! Thanks Saba Botanical.”

-Emy B. Lafayette, LA. USA

Customer Review #3

“I am very happy to have found this brand of henna (Lustrous Henna). I was all ready to quit dying my hair. I had used countless chemical dyes on my hair and always got a reaction from them. Even another popular brand of henna caused a rash on my palm while applying it and gave me an irritated scalp.

Also, I tried the facial mask which softens my skin. I thought I would get a reaction from it, but was pleased that it left my skin soft, smooth and thoroughly cleansed. Thank you very much!”

-Genie C. Albany, CA. USA

Lustrous Henna® Hair Color Product Reviews

Lustrous Henna ® Hair Dye -Soft Black 

“This is the only product that I can use to cover my grays since I am allergic to all other hair dyes. I have dark hair so when I use this I get so many compliments on my highlights. Little do they know that they are actually my gray hairs that after using the henna soft black they turn into reddish highlights.” - Marisol S., Lynn, MA. USA

“I really like this product. It works, its health, it last a long time and its affordable. Thank you.” - Konata K.. Oakland, CA, USA

“I started developing terrible allergic reactions to hair coloring products. I decided to let the gray grow in. I looked online for natural, botanical color to temporarily blend the new growth with my black hair. I found & tried L…t M……n Black. The preparation was time consuming, the paste gritty and messy to apply. I left the product on for several hours with no effect on the gray. The LM product specifically for gray hair is an even more complicated, time consuming 2 -step process.

After more searching, I found & tried Lustrous Henna Soft Black. It was quick to prepare, the paste much smoother & easier to apply than LM. Not using a hair dryer, I kept it on for the recommended 2 hours. Directions say that for some gray hair a 2nd application might be needed but when rinsed out, I was delighted to find that a lot of the gray was covered, the rest muted so that it blended with a very lovely, natural effect. I’ll order more to color my hair or to blend in the gray.” - Donna R., Hayward, CA, USA

“For the past 20 year I have colored my hair using over the counter hair coloring products but suddenly developed an allergic reaction when using them. After doing a search over the internet, I read an article about henna products being the solution to my problem. I tried to find a local retailer in my area that sold henna hair coloring products but I was unsuccessful, so I decided to look for the product on line. After finding Saba Botanical of USA, I called in to talk to one of their representatives who gave me some very good information over the phone about the product and how to use it. So I decided to order a pack to try it out.

The rest of the story is history. This product is one of the best hair coloring products I have every used and it’s all natural. I have no allergic reaction to it and it covers my grey hair completely. I ordered (9) more packs of it today and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who colors their hair.” – Arthur, Lawrenceville, GA, USA

Contact Dermatitis. PPD Hair Dye. Serious Allergic Reaction.

Contact Dermatitis

“Contact dermatitis is the name for any skin inflammation that occurs when the skin's surface comes in contact with a substance originating outside the body. There are two kinds of contact dermatitis, irritant and allergic.

Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is the more commonly reported of the two kinds of contact dermatitis, and is seen in about 80% of cases. It can be caused by soaps, detergents, solvents, adhesives, fiberglass, and other substances that are able to directly injure the skin. Most attacks are slight and confined to the hands and forearms, but can affect any part of the body that comes in contact with an irritating substance. The symptoms can take many forms: redness, itching, crusting, swelling, blistering, oozing, dryness, scaliness, thickening of the skin, and a feeling of warmth at the site of contact. In extreme cases, severe blistering can occur and open sores can form. Jobs that require frequent skin exposure to water, such as hairdressing and food preparation, can make the skin more susceptible to ICD.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) results when repeated exposure to an allergen (an allergy-causing substance) triggers an immune response that inflames the skin. Tens of thousands of drugs, pesticides, cosmetics, food additives, commercial chemicals, and other substances have been identified as potential allergens. Fewer than 30, however, are responsible the majority of ACD cases. Common culprits include poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac; fragrances and preservatives in cosmetics and personal care products; latex items; and formaldehyde. Many people find that they are allergic to the nickel in inexpensive jewelry. ACD is usually confined to the area of skin that comes in contact with the allergen, typically the hands or face. Symptoms range from mild to severe and resemble those of ICD; a patch test may be needed to determine which kind of contact dermatitis a person is suffering from.”*

Read more about it: ESCD (European Society of Contact Dermatitis)

Culprit: PPD Hair Dye

Hair color manufacturers of chemical hair dye are very happy that there is a dramatic surge in the number of individuals dying their hair in recent years. This includes men and women of all ages, from pre-teens to the elderly. The bad news is that there has also been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of allergic reactions such as: contact dermatitis, severe facial swelling, chronic illnesses and sadly, for some, death. Along with other chemicals in hair dye, the main culprit is para-phenylenediamine (PPD). Concerns about allergic reactions have also impacted laws in many parts of the globe. In fact, several European countries have banned the use of para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in hair dye.

In an upcoming article we will share actual experiences from sufferers of allergic reactions.

Lustrous Henna® Natural Hair Dye -Soft Black.

Truly Natural Dye for Sensitive Scalps!! I cannot believe this product as it is truly amazing. It is 100% natural (otherwise my scalp would tell me right away) yet it covers gray hairs so well!!!

It’s even safe for pregnant women, which I am.

I have suffered skin breakouts countless times due to sensitivity in my genes. Hence I was very reluctant to use this product- like most others and I was really skeptical about the coverage aspect. Usually henna leaves a reddish tinge to the hair which I do not adore. But this product has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

 I think all salons should offer this natural hair dye alternative even to people who do not have sensitive scalps. Staying natural cannot hurt anyone - my 2 cents. This product should be my friend for life - thank you, thank you and thank you to all involved in its innovation and distribution. God Bless You All!!! California, USA

Beautiful.  The best, best, best natural color I had ever tried! Is easy to put on, and the color last a lot longer than the chemicals brand. Not to mention how happy I am, knowing that I am coloring my hair naturally! I am totally happy with it! Thank you Saba Botanical! Ivana C. Sumter, SC USA   

Lustrous Henna® Soft Black. The Henna color came out great! Surinder B.  Carteret, NJ. USA

Professional attitude. Thank you for your quick delivery and professional attitude! I can always count on getting my product on time, without any difficulties!  Orlando R. Philadelphia, PA. USA

Lustrous Henna®  Natural Hair Dye –Dark Brown.

Lustrous Henna ® Dark Brown. After 5 years of coloring my gray with standard over the counter products that my hair dresser used, I developed a severe allergy to them. I was not yet ready to go gray and decided to try your product. I couldn't be happier. The color is very natural, the product is easy for me to apply and best yet, there is no allergy related side effects. Capitola, CA.  USA

Lustrous Henna ® Dark Brown.  Very good product. Non chemical. I am very impressed by this product. Very good natural product. I recommend this product. Thank u very much. Bhupinder S. Seatac, WA.  USA

Lustrous Henna ® Dark Brown.  Love the product ! Good brown color & coverage.  Cynthia C. New Milford, CT. USA

Lustrous Henna ® Dark Brown. All Natural. I tried this product and it worked pretty good...I will have to try it a few more times to gain a full assessment on this product. I am really happy that it is all natural. Vandana M. Chicago, IL. USA

Hair Color -Henna Review for Lustrous Henna.

Hair Color by Lustrous Henna® Hair Dye

“I have wanted to dye my hair forever!!! However, I was pregnant and then breastfeeding and I just couldn't find a safe alternative to the harmful, toxic hair dyes that are out on the market. Until now....I am so excited to introduce everyone to Saba Botanical! They have a great natural henna hair dye that is safe for everyone to use!

Lustrous Henna® hair color is an all-natural, herbal hair dye or as some call it a vegetable dye for men and women. It is a true all natural formulation that can even cover gray. Lustrous Henna® can be used for hair coloring as well as for hair highlights. Lustrous Henna® is nontoxic, hypoallergenic, does not contain Ammonia, Peroxide, PPD (para-phenlenediamine), or synthetic dyes. Herbal Henna (Mehndi) is mixed with other herbs to achieve different hair color shades, such as red, mahogany, brown, dark brown black and more. Beside Lustrous Henna® Hair dye, they offer other natural hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners containing natural extracts as Soapnut (Reetha fruit), Amla, Shikakai and other valuable herbs.

My Opinion

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!

Buy Lustrous Henna® Hair Dye:

You can purchase Lustrous Henna® Hair Dye for $7.49 for 100 grams on the Saba Botanical website.”

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

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).

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). A change in diet can be quite beneficial as we have written in a number of articles in our blog archives. Exercise also 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.”

Natural Hair Color with Chemical Highlights is Not Safe

About Chemical Process to Highlight Natural Hair Color

“Hair highlighting/lowlighting refers to changing a person's hair color, using lightener or hair color to color strands of the 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 colors. Hair lightened with bleach is considered permanent.”

Using chemical process to achieve this effect is unsafe and dangerous to natural hair color.

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**)

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**)

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**)

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, colors and are used to create more contrast, rather than subtle texture, as in traditional, thinner highlights.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert**)

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

I'm a 54 yrs. old"natural" brunette and LOVE Lustrous Henna and their wonderful customer service with Syed.

A few months ago I was diagnosed with Lymphoma at Mayo Clinic with follow up 3 mos. visits to a Hematologist, blood specialist there. I then began to think about changing some of my lifestyle habits and a NATURAL Hair Color was an easy one to change. I am not on chemo since my Dr. says my own immune system is trying to fight this cancer. Chemo kills the good & the bad, therefore I'm thankful I do still have my hair at this time.

My friend introduced me to Lustrous Henna when I complemented her hair. I didn't even know she used any type of color on it, because it looked so natural. She ordered my first time with her order,to try it out. So I have twice now, due to shorter hair.So glad I heard about this henna from her!

I am thankful for the Lustrous Henna's shorter process time compared to others that require an extremely longer process and it leaves my hair in much, much better condition than when I did salon color.

My single priority, due to my health issue,is that it's safe, plus it looks and feels so natural and healthy. I can't say enough good about it.

It was my pleasure to visit with Syed a few days ago about Lustrous Henna.His patience and very informative manner is so helpful and refreshing.He is an asset to Lustrous Henna products. He helped me a great deal with tips on how to tone the gray as it grows in from my root line.

I sincerely thank you, Syed and Lustrous Henna for the difference you have made in my life.

I'll be ordering again soon.

Warmest Regards,
Twyla R., Greene IA
