Natural Hair Remedy for Hair Dye Allergy? Stop Searching.

A Natural Hair Remedy for Hair Dye Allergy.

The Search Begins…

Syed was in his early twenties when premature gray hair appeared and he believed that it was hurting his image. In his attempt to preserve his youthful appearance, he started covering his gray with chemical hair dye. Unfortunately, his didn’t realize how much of a struggle that decision would prove to be.

After a couple years of use he started to experience allergic reactions to the chemical hair dye. He was left with an intensely itchy, red and irritated scalp. Even with so-called ‘mild’ hair dye, the problem worsened. He was left with thinning hair and bald spots. His thick hair was gone and he was left with now a head of thin, gray hair. 

Eventually, following a friend’s advice, he decided to use what he thought was an all-natural hair dye product, "black henna" also called Kali Mendhi (Hindi translation for black henna). The result was a nightmare! It ended with a trip to the Emergency Room: Blisters all over his scalp and sideburns, a swollen face and his eyes were almost sealed shut. He later found out that the hair dye, Kali Mendhi black henna, contained paraphenylenediamine (PPD). The reason for the adverse reaction uncovered! The quest continued to find an all natural hair dye that was free of ammonia, peroxide, PPD and similar chemicals. 

His quest finally led him to the natural remedy for hair dye allergy was found: pure henna. Syed started using pure henna to cover his gray. The result was that his hair and scalp was revitalized. However, there was one big negative. His hair was now a bright (and a little scary) reddish-orange color. All he ever wanted was his black hair back, naturally. 

Natural Hair Remedy for Hair Dye Allergy: Success!

Syed soon learned that there is nothing that grows in nature, that instantly gives a black color to hair. Therefore, if he couldn't find the natural hair dye he was looking for -he would have to find a way to create it  himself using NATURE. His brainchild of developing a totally natural hair dye came to fruition after several years of research.

He worked in collaboration with the AMA Herbal Company of India who had only worked with natural dyes for textiles, previously.  A revolutionary 100% natural hair dye that does not contain toxic chemicals was soon realized. Syed and his team also created an application process that is safe, healthy and very easy to use. Just mix and apply. No need to wait for countless hours. Results are much quicker than traditional henna that involves several hours to complete.

Natural Hair Remedy for Hair Dye Allergy: Why Lustrous Henna®?

 “I knew that there were millions of people out there that truly need a natural hypoallergenic hair dye.”

“Although we all have to live through some ailments and other health problems from time to time, nature has created a remedy for every health problem in plants; whether it is fresh produce, dried herbs, essential oils or extracts. The key to beautiful health is using pure botanical ingredients derived from nature. The concept of natural beauty incorporates a philosophy based on the mystery of the therapeutic values and vital energy of plants.”  -Syed Abbas, Saba Botanical of USA.

Natural Hair Dye for Men Does Exist

Why Men Need Natural Hair Dye

The main reason most men color their hair is get rid of gray hair in order to look and feel younger. Some long for their former black hair, brown hair color or just their natural hair color. Many men are disappointed and wonder if a natural hair dye truly exists that address their own natural hair needs.

Men can and some have suffered allergic reaction from chemical dyes. Men need to pay attention to warnings on the packages of chemical dyes. 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 hair shaft. They also have caused intense allergic reaction on the scalp, neck and face of several dermatologists’ patients (men and women).

Many men want to avoid allergic reaction and go with natural hair color products. With the plethora of progressive dye products and other chemical laden dyes, the search for a totally natural hair dye can lead to frustration.

Men Stop Risking Your Health with Progressive Hair Dye

Progressive hair dye for men is still chemical hair dye. Progressive chemical dyes and hair color formulas have been targeted at men for decade to cover their gray hair . These change the gray hair color gradually. 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, but it must carry a warning label about the lead acetate in the product marketed in the states.

Use a Proven Henna Hair Dye and Prevent Allergic Reaction

There is no need to take risks with your health . Henna hair dye is all natural and plant-based. Henna has been proven safe since ancient times. Modern technology has made it possible to mix natural botanical extracts with pure, natural henna hair color to obtain a variety of natural hair shades for men and women. Lustrous Henna® by Saba Botanical of USA is the natural gray hair cover solution.

Don't take risks with your health. A natural hair dye for men does exist. Use Lustrous Henna® hair dye for men to cover gray hair, color black hair or to get back your natural hair color.

5 Natural Hair Care Tips that Work for Everybody. #3 is My Fave!

1. Physical Exercise for Natural Hair Care

Our serotonin levels in the brain are increased with proper physical exercise and that makes us happy. When we’re happy, we feel a sense of balance and wellbeing. Our entire body feels the effects of regular physical exercise, along with a healthy diet, including our hair follicles. If our regular physical exercise routine includes cardio and aerobic activity, cortisone can be reduced in our bodies, thus promoting hair growth. 

2.  Keep Hydrated internally

Drink plenty of water. Nourish your hair like you nourish your skin. In other words, eat a healthy diet rich in hydrating fruits and vegetables. This will help to keep your hair soft and lustrous. Hydrate for proper skin care and hair care.

3. Healthy Hair Care from a Healthy Diet

While 100% natural herbal hair care products are a great help to grow and maintain lustrous, radiant hair –adding a routine of healthy eating will further benefit your hair care efforts. Work on growing healthier and stronger cells through diet.  

Make sure your body receives and produces keratin naturally by healthy eating: protein-rich foods like nuts, seeds, low fat dairy products, lean meats, fish and egg whites.

Healthy hair needs essential fatty acids such as omega-3 found in fatty fish like salmon. However, other healthy foods rich in omega-3 include flaxseeds, walnuts, winter squash, beans and olive oil.

Vitamins are absolutely crucial for healthy hair care and growth. Sure, you can take a multi-vitamin, but it is better to eat a healthy diet filled with nutrient-rich foods for healthy hair.  Healthy hair requires a good supply of B-complex vitamins (that include folic acid, biotin, vitamin B-12), Vitamin A sources, zinc and copper for nourishment of a healthy scalp.

4.  Have a Consistent Natural Hair Care Routine

Having a regular natural hair care routine is absolutely essential for healthy hair condition and growth. It needn’t cost a lot of money or even too much time, once you get the hang of it.  Daily, weekly and monthly healthy hair routine.

5. Natural Hair Care Loves Daily Scalp Massage

 Why is scalp massage important in our hair care? When you increase circulation to your scalp, blood flows freely and allows nutrients to reach your hair follicles, which usually leads to hair growth.  Only 10 minutes of scalp massage (twice a day) are needed (morning/night) and a daily consistent routine.

Frizzy Hair and Curly Hair Can Be Controlled Year-Round

Frizzy Hair and Curly Hair Can Be Controlled

Frizzy hair and curly hair is usually dry hair because it’s easier for the natural oils in the scalp to run down the hair shaft if the hair is straight. Curly hair loves creamy, ultra-moisturizing hair conditioner.  For a CO-Wash (Conditioner –Only Wash), rinse hair with water, then add hair conditioner to the wet hair, wait, then rinse out gently. Use a monthly hot oil treatment. If you suffer from extra-dry hair, every 2 weeks use an intense moisturizing treatment.

Avoid Dehydrating Frizzy Hair

Curly hair and frizzy hair hate excessive heat! Avoid everything that causes dryness to the hair like blow dryers, flat irons or curling irons. Don’t dehydrate the hair by washing it every day. It will look frizzy and out of control. Follow sulfate-free shampoo with a good moisturizing hair conditioner like So Natural™ Nurturing Conditioner.  Let your curls dry naturally.

Moisturize and Protect Frizzy Hair

Your curly hair also needs to be hydrated regularly in order to maintain its healthy appearance. 

• On your damp hair, use your hands to apply hair conditioner liberally from roots to ends then comb your conditioner-soaked hair (using a wide-tooth comb) from ends to roots –gently. If desired, you can use a 'Denman-style' plastic/rubber bristle hair brush to gently brush hair.
• Don’t brush dry hair: Avoid damaging the cuticle; stretching and breaking hair.
• If needed, use wet fingers to ‘comb’ your hair and gently detangle.
• For spot conditioning, Add plenty of water to your hair conditioner in a spray bottle.  Spray on ends of hair and use fingertips to gently work in.
• In addition to hair conditioner, add a little natural oil to your hair to seal in moisture.

Baking Soda, Olive Oil and More for Scalp Care

Olive Oil, Baking Soda, Amla Powder Helps Prevent Scalp Damage

Scalp damage can be caused by a variety of practices such as staying out in the sun too long, using excessive heated appliances, tight rollers or even using the wrong kind of brush bristle. However, one of the most overlooked ways to avoid scalp damage is simple to have a healthy hair maintenance routine: daily, weekly and monthly. Suggestions:

Daily Hair Maintenance

Believe it or not, eating a balanced diet each day with lots of water aids in growing healthy hair and preventing scalp damage. Get your blood circulating with fresh green veggies and raw fruit. Avoid the sun’s harmful rays as much as possible by wearing a scarf, comfortable hat or use an umbrella. Moisturize dry hair daily. Protect your hair at night by using a satin cap or sleep on satin pillows.

Light Daily Maintenance: In the palms of your hands, add just a few drops of olive oil. Run your hands through your hair to control frizz. You can apply this on dry or damp hair.

Use a conditioner on your hair once or twice a week. Imbue Natural Conditioner is filled with ingredient that really benefit the scalp and hair.

Weekly Hair Maintenance

Shampoo once weekly with an all-natural shampoo filled with ancient botanicals that promote a healthy scalp condition and hair growth. Lustrous Henna Shampoo Powder is an excellent choice. Imbue Natural Shampoo is also extremely nourishing to the follicles.

For exceptionally dry hair, try a hot oil treatment using coconut, almond or extra-virgin olive oil. Castor oil is also beneficial but heavy on the hair, so use on the scalp only. Oils can even be mixed and massaged into the scalp. Cover hair with plastic cap and leave on overnight. You can also use a hot, moist towel until the towel cools (about twenty minutes).

Monthly Hair Maintenance

The scalp should be gently cleansed of debris from hair treatments and products at least once monthly. A good natural scalp scrub needs to be applied with a GENTLE touch. Too harsh or heavy-handed of a massage can cause harm to the scalp by simply being too abrasive. So cleanse your hair and scalp naturally with a very gentle touch.

Baking soda is a natural cleanser. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil adds moisture and controls frizz. Pure Amla Powder is a cleansing agent for the hair and scalp; Amla Powder also protects from dandruff, also helps prevent premature graying. Amla Powder stimulates growth of hair on the scalp and strengthens the hair roots.  Tea tree oil is an effective antifungal and antiseptic.

Baking Soda Scalp and Hair Cleanse 

½  cup of Baking Soda

2-3 tablespoons of Pure Amla Powder

¼ cup of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

5 drops of Tea Tree Oil

½ to 1 cup water (add enough to make a thin paste) 

Directions: Mix above until well blended. Apply mixture to hair. Gently massage scrub on scalp in circular motion. After two or three minutes, rinse out with warm water. 

Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Rinse 

½ cup Apple Cider Vinegar

2 cups of water

5 drops each of the following (to minimize vinegar smell):

Rosemary or Peppermint Oil

Sage or Lavender Oil

Directions: Close eyes tightly (you DON’T want this in your eyes) as you tilt head back; pour mixture through hair from root to ends. If needed, tilt head forward to cover hair completely. (Save any remaining mixture, if desired). After a minute or two, rinse with cold water to seal in moisture.

Hot Olive Oil Treatment (HOOT)

Warm up 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the microwave for around 15 seconds. Pour into the palm of your hand and gently massage it into the hair -from scalp to ends- until complete saturated. Cover with a plastic cap and damp towel. Wait for at least 30 minutes. Rinse out using a mild shampoo like Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. (You don’t really need to use a conditioner, but if you insist, try Imbue™ Natural Conditioner by Saba Botanical of USA.)

This is a great conditioner for all hair types.

Henna Hair Dye Quickest Method to Color Hair and Cover Gray

It only takes about 90 minutes from start-to-finish to color hair with
Lustrous Henna® Hair Dye.  

 Using Lustrous Henna® Hair Dye 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.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, it’s best to stick with Mother Nature for safe hair coloring.
The following is a simple reminder:

Henna Hair Dye -a Healthy Alternative to Chemical Hair Dye

There are many products marketed to consumers that are claimed to be “all-natural”, however, upon closer examination these claims simply are not true. Many other all-natural hair color products have been disappointing to consumers worldwide, due to unsatisfactory performance. This serious issue led to much more extensive research and testing and the development of an exquisitely unique all natural hair dye formula found totally in Mother Nature. The product is marketed by Saba Botanical of USA under the brand name of Lustrous Henna®.

Lustrous Henna® is a vegetable-based hair dye that comes only in powder form in a sealed bag. It's a deposit only hair dye that is translucent; it allows the normal color variations of the hair to shine through, adding a natural radiant luster. Lustrous Henna® hair dye currently comes in a variety of natural hair color shades that can also be mixed to create other desired shades. Due to properties inherent in Mother Nature, Lustrous Henna® cannot lighten your hair color. The hair shade you choose will depend on the hair color (natural or dyed) you have. It's a safe, healthy alternative to harsh chemical hair dye.

Other Benefits of Lustrous Henna

"God Spilled the Paint" photo by Frank Kee.

Syed’s Message: My Story, My Hair and My Advice

“Once I wrote the following. 

The more I learn about plants, the more I believe this truth:

"Although we all have to live through some ailments and other health problems from time to time, nature has created a remedy for every health problem in plants; whether it is fresh produce, dried herbs, essential oils or extracts. The key to beautiful health is using pure botanical ingredients derived from nature. The concept of natural beauty incorporates a philosophy based on the mystery of the therapeutic values and vital energy of plants.”

My black hair started to turn gray in my twenties. I felt that I was still too young to show gray and started using commercially available chemical dyes to hide my gray. After a while my scalp started to itch and my skin turned red where the dye was applied. As the time went by, it started to get worse with each dye application. Even the mildest of the dye I could find on the shelf caused a reaction to my scalp. My hair started to thin and bald spots started to develop, my thick hair was gone. I was struggling to hide my gray.

Someone told me that there is a "natural" product called Kali Mendhi (commonly called:  “Black Henna”). Hoping this would solve my problem, I bought a pack and applied it to my hair (not knowing this would turn into my worst nightmare). The very next day, blisters started appearing all over my scalp and side burns, my face swelled up and my eyes were almost shut. I was in agony and had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. This was a frightening experience. Later on, I find out that Kali Mendhi (commonly called:  “Black Henna”) contained Paraphenylene-diamene (PPD), which caused this reaction.

While going from shelf to shelf of hair coloring products from one store to another, I could not find a product that was free of Ammonia, Peroxide and PPD or similar chemicals. Health food stores did carry some henna based coloring products but their results were so marginal, they were not worth the time and money.

I resorted to pure henna, which I feel is the greatest herb that exists on Planet Earth. The use of henna revived my hair and scalp. My hair started to look healthy again. The only problem with pure henna was: my gray hair turned reddish/orange, which was sort of scary. I started to get used to it, but always wished my hair was black (again).

I knew that there were millions of people out there that truly need a natural hypoallergenic hair dye.

One day, I met with an executive of AMA Herbal Labs with my idea for a totally all natural henna based hair color dye that could be packaged and produced in a variety of natural shades. He said, "We would be happy to take this project," (not realizing how intricate this project would be). Within a year they produced a product which I named Lustrous Henna®. However, this initial product was no different than the weak products already selling in the health food stores.

Three years went by without any encouraging news. Then the second version of the product came out. The results still were not very encouraging. I was about to give up, when it finally “clicked” and they were really able to greatly improve on this product. Thus, I call this, the third generation of Lustrous Henna® that you can purchase from us now.

Lustrous Henna® is definitely worth bragging about: it does not contain PPD, Ammonia, Peroxide or toxic chemicals. It is a 100% natural hair dye. Nature still has the answer to all our needs, as we discovered and we benefit from it.

Lustrous Henna should be used by everyone who needs to dye their hair. It is safe and healthy.

Natural Hair Needs a Natural Hair Dye that Also Conditions

Natural Hair Dye that Conditions Hair?

A plant-based, natural hair dye that not only colors natural hair, but covers gray hair. A natural hair dye that conditions and strengthens natural hair is not a mere fantasy.

How Natural Hair Dye that Conditions Hair Came to Exist

Due to severe allergic reaction to conventional hair dye containing para-phenylenediamine (PPD), Syed Abbas decided to act upon his research and team with botanical scientists from India for an all-natural solution for covering gray hair with ancient plants. The answer led to the creation of Lustrous Henna® hair dye. No more worries about losing hair due to the effects of harmful chemical dyes, ammonia and peroxide!
