Hair Breakage -6 Reasons and 6 Solutions- Pt. 2 of 2

Hair Breakage – Reason #4
Excessive Hair Pulling

Styling hair in tight hairstyles that pull and tear your roots, such as: tight braids and up-dos, tight ponytails, etc. Using abrasive combs and hairbrushes can cause damage to your hair. Not protecting your hair at night can cause friction from the fabric fibers and produce hair fall.

Hair Breakage – Solution#4
Be Gentle to Your Hair

Brush gently: Using a non-abrasive hairbrush (with nylon bristles or natural boar bristles or similar) to gently massage in hair oils encourages scalp stimulation to slightly increase hair growth; and blood to reach follicle at the root. Healthy circulation promotes better hair growth.

Protect with safe hair maintenance: Try and avoid styles that constantly pull and tear your roots (tight braids, tight ponytails, etc.) If you must braid, loose braids are best day or night.  If you braid your hair before sleeping, satin helps reduce friction from hair against fabric fibers, thus protecting against breakage. Simply cover hair or braid(s) with a satin sleep bonnet; satin bun cover or using a satin pillow protects your braids or other hairstyle.

Hair Breakage – Reason #5
Using damaging hair accessories

The following unsafe hair accessories can tear your hair out, cause severe hair breakage and cause extreme damage to your hair:

• Rubber bands, stick elastic
• Combs, headbands, etc. with sharp teeth
• Hair accessories with sharp edges
• Hair clips, barrettes, bobby pins that constantly pull hair will also pull it out.

Hair Breakage – Solution#5
Use safe hair accessories

Safe hair maintenance means using accessories that won’t undo all the healthy hair care that you've worked so hard to achieve:
Soft headbands; scarves; Ouchless-type elastic band (no rubber); hair jewelry or flowers real/synthetic, gently clipped to plastic hair pins; hair scrunchies made of elastic bands or soft non-damaging fabrics; seamless plastic barrettes, rounded teeth. For really long hair, try a hair fork (Asian-Inspired) or hair stick that doesn’t have sharp metal sections or seams; Amish steel hair pins or Amish hair snaps (look like a clip, but very gentle).

Hair Breakage – Reason #6
Ongoing use of chemical hair dye

Chemical hair dye penetrates the cuticle of the hair, damaging it. The hair is exposed to para-phenylenediamine (PPD), hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and other harsh chemicals, causing overlapping of cuticular seates to lift from the hair cortex, thereby leading to rapid loss of amino acid. By removing the proteins that build the structural strength, the hair shaft is weakened with every application. The chemical damage results in an easily fractured hair shaft and eventual hair loss.

Hair Breakage – Solution#6
Protect your hair with pure henna

Dermatologists have recommended the use of all natural pure henna for hair to prevent potential scalp allergy and hair loss caused by the overuse of chemical hair color dyes. Pure henna coats the hair and doesn’t penetrate the hair shaft. Pure henna contains conditioning properties that are quite beneficial to hair. Allergy to pure henna is extremely rare. Pure henna can be mixed with 100% natural plants and plant extracts to create a variety of natural hair shades.

Final Note

Apply these hair care protection, hair maintenance and style tips proven to stop hair breakage. By changing bad habits, you’ll enjoy healthy, radiant and beautiful hair.

Teen Hair Dye –Why Go Natural with Lustrous Henna Hair Color

Teen Hair Dye
-Creating Your Style

The vast arrays of hair colors that attract today’s modern teen add interest to your personal style. Teen hair dye goes from platinum blonde to blue-black to purple to silver gray…there appears to be no end to your imagination! It’s all about making your own hair statement. Therefore, I want to share a couple of things with you that will help you think about how to make your hair statement with teen hair dye.

Instead of going the “permanent hair dye” route, have you thought about just bringing out your own natural highlights? That’s right. Using a natural hair dye to bring out your own highlights can help you make your best style statement. The good news is that you don’t have to take a chance with your health either –if you go natural. Using an all-natural plant-based hair color dye in a variety of shade choices will help you create a personal style you will be proud to rock.

Please read the report below and think of the potentially serious allergies and other consequences that can occur with increased use of permanent chemical teen hair dye.

Teen Hair Dye -Why You Need Lustrous Henna^®

Did you know that regular use of chemical hair dye could be quite risky?

“Allergic reactions to hair dye are increasing as more and younger people dye their hair, warn researchers.

This can lead to dermatitis on the face and, in severe cases, facial swelling may occur.

More than two thirds of hair dyes currently contain para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and other related agents. During the 20th century, allergic reactions to PPD became such a serious problem that it was banned from hair dyes in Germany, France, and Sweden.

Market research also indicates that more people are dying their hair and are doing so at a younger age… Severe hair dye reactions among children have also recently been reported.

‘Wider debate on the safety and composition of hair dyes is overdue’, say the authors. Cultural and commercial pressures to dye hair are putting people at risk and increasing the burden on health services.

It may not be easy to reverse these trends, however, as some patients have continued to use such dyes even when advised that they are allergic to them and risk severe reactions, they conclude.”

I’m writing this, speaking from my own experience. After years of using semi-permanent chemical hair dye, I was surprised to develop an allergic reaction at the base of my neck. I’m so glad that I found Lustrous Henna Hair Color^®. I learned the following:

Why risk my health when who I REALLY want be is ME? Naturally.

Chemical Hair Dye Allergy? This Natural Plant-based Dye Works.

Does Chemical Hair Dye Allergy
-have you frustrated?

Can you relate to any of the following comments from sufferers of chemical hair dye allergy (allergic contact dermatitis)?

• “I'm 46 and was covering the grey in my dark brown hair for years without a problem, then suddenly last year my scalp blew up with swollen patches, itchy rash all over my forehead, and my head felt like it was on fire. I kept dying my hair because I didn't make the connection--how could I react to something I'd been using for years? It took three doctors before someone figured it out.”*
• “Yesterday I used C—G--B permanent hair color (have used this product for 4 years). This is the first time I've had an allergic reaction--itchy red spots on the back of my head. The folks at ----  were very helpful, but bottom line is that they recommend: not using any hair color products at all, but to see my doctor to get tested to see which ingredients I'm sensitive to…”
• “My scalp blew up about 15 years ago after getting my hair colored and highlighted with the same stuff the salon always used. Looking back I did have some warning because I noticed it burned a little once and the next time it burned a little and my scalp felt really tight afterwards. The third time I ended up at the Doctor’s and on antibiotics because the glands on my scalp swelled up. I didn't even know there were glands on my scalp!” 

100% Natural Plant-based Hair Dye that Works
-proven to stop chemical hair dye frustration.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be happy and satisfied like the following users of 100% natural plant-based hair dye?

• “Always Perfect. I've used this color product for about 10 years because it is and does what it says. It leaves my hair beautifully colored and nourish. The ordering process is easy and delivery is fast. I desperately had to find a hair product that didn't give me such an adverse reaction. I looked on the Internet and came across this beauty with all natural ingredients (and NO PPD, which causes allergic reaction). Thank you!”
• “I ordered Lustrous Henna^® from your company and used it today. This is the first time I have ever used Henna on my 62, almost 63 year-old hair. The smell is grassy, and fresh –not objectionable at all, and it was relatively easy to mix. I have dark hair, with some gray, and was expecting it to be a bit darker, but it looks good. I was not expecting the reddish tone that it gave my gray hair, but it actually looks nice…that being said, I was REALLY impressed with how soft and clean my hair is! Next time, I think I will add some indigo, though, so it turns out darker. As a first time customer, I am very pleased, and expect to order more in the future.”
• “Have been using this henna for about 5 years now, and love how it leaves my hair looking and feeling. People stop me in the street to compliment me on my hair...for real!!”
• “I love this product! It covers the gray very well, looks natural and lasts until it’s time to have my hair cut and colored again. I get compliments on the color and how natural it looks. Most of all, I am happy that I found a product that is not chemical-based. I would encourage anyone to give it a try.”

Lustrous Henna® –Why Use it to Color Your Hair?

Lustrous Henna^® –What is it?
Lustrous Henna^® is 100% natural plant-based hair dye for men and women. 

Lustrous Henna^® contains the finest quality 100% pure, highly sifted henna, combined with 100% all-natural herbal extracts of ancient botanicals. It comes in various shades -including a lovely shade of red hair color. No more bright red hair! Unlike traditional henna hair dye, Lustrous Henna® hair dye comes in more than ten natural hair color shades.

Consider the following additional facts about Lustrous Henna^®:

• Blocks UV sun damage.
• Protects against split ends.
• Adheres to hair beautifully.
• Looks like your natural hair shade.
• Color fades gradually and doesn’t create ugly white/gray lines with growth.
• Conditions and protects hair, instead of stripping hair from the natural protein it needs to stay healthy and grow.
• Contains herbs that have therapeutic values, will heal not harm hair like chemical dye.
• Does not penetrate in the hair shaft to cause dry brittle, hair.
• Makes hair glossy, shiny and of course, lustrous.

Lustrous Henna^® – What it’s Not
Lustrous Henna^® is NOT the hair dye with the misnomer: ‘Black Henna’.

When thinking of the product commonly imported and sold as ‘Black Henna’, please don’t confuse it with Lustrous Henna^® in Soft Black. These are two totally different products, one is potentially dangerous; the other is actually beneficial and healthy. Lustrous Henna^® in Soft Black is totally natural and conditioning. It’s superior quality pure henna combined with pure indigo. It’s nontoxic, herbal hair color.

Consider the following facts about the dangerous hair dye, ‘Black Henna’:

• The name 'Black Henna' is a confusing misnomer.
  
• 'Black Henna', manufacturedfor skin (tattoo) and hair dye products, is a combination of chemical dyes mixed with natural, usually low-grade plants made into a black powder or liquid dye.
• 'Black Henna' hair dye is not pure, nor is it pure henna. Pure henna is not black. 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.
• 'Black Henna' hair dye is usually composed of poor quality henna mixed with dangerous chemicals; some proven to be quite toxic, such as: para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and more.
• 'Black Henna' Hair Dye is advertised as being high quality, beneficial and safe; this can be confusing to the unaware consumer.
• 'Black Henna' hair dye can ruin your hair and skin permanently.
• 'Black Henna' is not pure indigo or 'black indigo'; the indigo plant is not black. 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.

Lustrous Henna^® –Why Use it to Color Your Hair?

Using Lustrous Henna® natural hair dye is still a better choice than using plain henna. It’s a much quicker application. Like traditional henna, Lustrous Henna® natural hair dye also works as a natural hair conditioner and help promote hair growth. The result: healthier hair benefits for men and women.

An Unsolicited Customer Testimonial

“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!”

It’s pure henna extract in powder form combined with the extract of other plants that are well known for their hair treatment benefits. It has a very quick dye release and is very simple to apply. It comes in various shades and has been praised by several satisfied male users. In fact, the inspiration behind Lustrous Henna® hair dye, Syed Abbas, is male and uses it to cover his gray, too.

Natural Men Don’t Use Progressive Hair Dye

Did you know that a there exists a gray hair dye alternative for men that conditions hair naturally? Many men use progressive hair dye because they're unaware of a safer, natural hair dye alternative to color gray hair. Progressive hair dye and hair color formulas have been targeted at men for decades to cover their gray hair. These change the gray hair color gradually.

Due to allergic reaction to harmful chemicals, did you know that Grecian Formula was banned in Canada and European countries because it contained lead acetate at the time? It is still sold and approved for use in the United States to color gray hair, but it must carry a warning label about the lead acetate in the product marketed in the states. Why risk potential allergic reaction?

Natural men know that permanent and semi-permanent synthetic dyes usually contain extremely harmful and toxic chemicals like p-phenylenediamine (PPD), ammonia, peroxide, lead acetate and a slew of others that can cause damage to the natural hair shaft. These chemicals also have caused severe allergic reaction on the scalp, neck and face of several dermatologists’ patients. Growing allergic reaction is one of the reasons dermatologists recommend a using natural hair dye to color hair such as a henna hair dye.
