Lustrous Henna®

Transitioning From Chemical Perms and Relaxers to Natural Hair Care? Saba Botanical to the Rescue!

 
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 taking care of their natural hair only, even if it means wearing a much shorter hairstyle.

However, many women can’t stand the thought of having super short 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 self-perception or self-esteem.

Use proven products that build up the condition of every strand of hair and promote healthy hair growth.  Saba Botanical of USA is proud to offer natural hair care products that contain herbal ingredients that have been used for centuries throughout Asia to deep condition, stop hair fall and grow long hair.

A testimonial regarding Saba Botanical of USA products

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

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)

Top Tips for Naturally Healthy Hair –The Saba Botanical Way. Pt. 3 of 4

Deeply Nourish Your Hair

As previously stated, all of the hair shampoos and conditioners at Saba Botanical of USA contain ancient botanical ingredients known to nourish the hair with regular use. However, from time-to-time, a natural deep nourishing treatment will provide a lustrous boost to your hair. Once or twice a month, give your hair a special conditioning treatment, naturally. This will also help reduce damage from external sources like the sun or pollution.

Lustrous Henna® Neutral. 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. Ingredients: Lawsonia Inermis, Aloe Vera, Bacopa monnieri, Eclepta alba, Accacia concinna, Punica granatum.

Lustrous Henna® Amla Fruit Powder. Amla is a wonderful cleansing agent for both the skin and hair. An excellent conditioner that 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.

Use Plant or Vegetable-Based Hair Dye to Color Your Hair

Natural beauty is best. Can we possibly give any more emphasis to this subject? Oh yes, we can.

Use Lustrous Henna® All-Natural Hair Color Dye. It comes in 9 different shades to highlight your natural beauty and cover gray. It also contains ancient botanical extracts and powders to nurture your hair and stop hair fall. It is PPD-FREE, AMMONIA-FREE, PEROXIDE-FREE. Chemical-free.

Lustrous Henna® is, and always will be, an all-natural hair color dye. The powder is extremely easy to mix and use. There is no long waiting period for dye release, like there is with traditional henna. All of the ingredients are top quality and are known to enhance healthy hair care.

Another Lustrous Henna® Testimonial:

Hey Saba Botanical,

You did answer my question and I ordered the soft black Lustrous Henna. I dyed my hair on Saturday evening followed the instructions and it came out lovely. I'm never going back to chemical dyes. I just had to use 60 to 70 grams for my hair length and I still have a little over a 1/2 pouch left.  At first it smelled kind of crazy but the end result and smell was great on my hair. I left it in for two hours to get maximum results and also used a plastic cap and hair dryer. I just rinsed out and used a natural conditioner.

I repeat: I’m never going back to chemical dyes. Lovely hair!

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.

 

*Statements A through D are documented on actual websites. Please contact author for source.
