Are You Nervous When Thinking of Changing Your Hair Color “Service”?

Request Lustrous Henna at Hair Salon. www.SabaBotanical.com
www.SabaBotanical.com www.SabaBotanical.com It’s natural to be nervous and apprehensive when it comes to changing a personal service that we’ve probably been doing for years. It feels great leaving our favorite hair salon with the perfect cut, perfect style and perfect color. It’s possible that we couldn’t image being happier than how we feel at the moment. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, might be a better way of expressing how we feel when it comes to changing our hair color service.

However, think about other “habits” that were once thought to be a great way to enhance our image and self-esteem: perhaps cigarette smoking, imbibing loads of fine liquor or other vices glamourized on Hollywood films. What have we learned about cigarette smoking and our health? The link to lung cancer has been taken seriously. It’s just one smart reason why so many individuals have wisely stopped smoking. The link between drinking heavily and liver disease is no longer ignored either.

Although, initially quite apprehensive and understandably nervous about changing a bad habit, those that have made the change are normally quite happy with their decision. Many have also found healthier activities to replace the former detrimental vices and are not only pleased, but completely satisfied, knowing they’ve made a wise lifestyle change.

www.SabaBotanical.com It’s similar with our hair. For many years, many of us have used chemical hair dyes; however, we have now been enlightened. If you read this blog regularly, as well as the Saba Botanical website, you are quite knowledgeable about the dangers of synthetic dyes and the potential dangers to your health. Therefore, why not make the change to something better?

Talk to your hair stylist. Don’t be surprised if they don’t welcome the idea of using an all-natural hair dye that promotes healthy hair growth and brings out your true natural highlights. On the other hand, Lustrous Henna® All-Natural Hair Color Dye might be the just the product they’ve been searching for! Most hair stylists have “problem” clients whose hair doesn’t react well to chemicals of any kind. Who knows? They may just thank you! 

Still, don’t fret if your hair stylist is unwilling to change his or her method of applying hair dye to meet your current needs. Usually, if you refuse to not be swayed from your decision, they’ll attend to your needs. If not, the very last resort (hopefully, it won’t come to this) is to find a good stylist that’s willing to work with you using Lustrous Henna® All-Natural Hair Color Dye. They’re out there and the numbers are happily growing!

When you make this wise lifestyle decision, you’ll no longer be nervous, but ecstatic and extremely content with your choice.

Dear Syed,

Last week during a phone conversation, you helped me choose the proper color of “Lustrous Henna”. I received it in a very timely manner and applied it last night. This was the first time I attempted to color my hair myself and was very nervous:)…however, I am very happy to say that I’m THRILLED with the results!!! While I was about 40% gray, I got great coverage and am confident that another application next week will take care of the few remaining gray hairs:) The color is so natural looking, and the highlights that run throughout my hair are very pretty.

Thank you so much for your help and kindness when we spoke, it was very much appreciated. I know I’ll be a customer of “Lustrous Henna” for many years to come, and will definitely spread the word to friends and family members!

Sincerely,
Rosalie

Hello Syed,

I told you I would send you pictures of before and after. I hope these will help. Let me know if there’s anything else that would help. Thank you again for all your kind help.

“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”.

Saba Botanical,

Hi Syed, I just wanted to give my input on your wonderful hair products. Not only have you given me the best service, but I have had many satisfied customers who suffer from side effects of chemical hair dyes. There is a great variety of colors to choose from and no worries of side effects or dry damaged hair. Many of my customers (men & women) including my mom have said their hair has strengthened and shines beautifully.

Thank you Syed for providing me with the best service and results for my clients.

Yours in health,

Rita 🙂

Have Healthy Oils in Your Kitchen and Bath? Prevent Hair Loss. Grow Your Hair. Pt. 2

Flaxseed Oil Benefits

Flax seeds & Flaxseed Oil Flaxseed oil contains an abundance of Omega-3 fatty acids that contribute to healthy hair growth. It’s known to revitalize the scalp in part due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The essential fatty acids have been known to combat psoriasis and eczema. Flaxseed oil, when taken as a dietary supplement, also promotes shiny, radiant and healthy hair.

www.SabaBotanical.com Flaxseed oil can be found in whole food markets and other all-natural or herb stores. You can make your own at a fraction of the price and make sure it’s stored in amber glass instead of black plastic, but you will have to invest in a cold-press oil extractor.

To make Cold-Pressed Flaxseed Oil, you’ll still need to purchase flax seed and an oil press extractor. Flax seed can be found easily in international farmer’s markets and better grocery stores. For information on purchasing an Oil Press Extractor unit, do your own research and make your own purchasing decision according to your budget and personal need:

 (Absolutely no connection with Saba Botanical of USA)

Other Hair Healthy Oils include: Virgin Coconut Oil, Extra-Virgin Olive Oil & Cold-Pressed Castor Oil

Did you know that natural herbal oils you’ve probably already use for skin care are known to help strengthen, regrow hair and to eliminate dandruff. They’re easy to apply, and when used along with the natural botanical powders at Saba Botanical of USA, might make a difference in your rate of hair growth in just a few short months.

Use with Natural Botanical Products from Saba Botanical

1.     Oil your scalp and roots (with virgin coconut oil, extra-virgin olive oil or cold-pressed castor oil).  Section your hair, lightly applying oil from ends to roots prior to using Lustrous Henna® Dry Shampoo Powder. Start off with a light oiling of ½ tsp. or less, until the proper amount is obtained.

2.     Wrap Hair in plastic wrap/plastic cap and leave oil on for about 30 minutes. If you want a hot oil treatment, add heat for 15-20 minutes.

3.     Wet hair and apply prepared Lustrous Henna® Dry Shampoo Powder paste* to hair with fingertips (a small rubber spatula can aid in application, but not necessary). Making the shampoo paste takes about 30 seconds. Press and lightly massage throughout hair. (follow-up gently-using a large-tooth comb for full coverage). Leave on for 5 minutes, and then rinse out until hair is completely free of shampoo.

4.     There is no need to follow up with a conditioner if you have fine to normal hair. However, if you insist on using a conditioner try  Imbue Nuturing Conditioner. If you have extremely dry, course or damaged hair, try So Natural™ Moisture Gloss Conditioner from Saba Botanical of USA.

www,SabaBotanical.com Virgin Coconut Oil Benefits and Hair Care Application

Virgin Coconut oil is unadulterated and free of chemical or other additives. Virgin Coconut oil is an excellent pre-shampoo treatment because it not only coats the hair, it penetrates the hair shaft.

Coconut oil has been used to promote hair growth, literally, for centuries. Protein loss is reduced and hair is protected from drying and breaking due to the medium chain triglycerides (MCT) contain within coconut oil. This is also a substance that is contained in sebum (an oily substance secreted from the sebaceous glands that keep the scalp moist). The scalp contains ‘friendly’ bacteria that break down the MCT into free fatty acids.  This is what provides protection against scalp problems such as dandruff and head lice. The oil also adds a radiant sheen to the hair.

A testimonial about Lustrous Henna® All Natural Hair Color Dye

My name is Gail G. live in Los Angeles Ca. I am an interior designer and have to look my best at all times. Several months ago, I developed an allergy to all salon products. They started to burn my scalp ,even the so-called henna products I tried all had some kind of chemical ingredients. My husband found out about Saba on the Internet and I sent away for your product. Since I started using Saba, there has been no more burning,and the color is rich and naturally beautiful. It is a great and safe product ,and I highly recommend it.
Thank you,
Gail G.

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

www.SabaBotanical.com 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

www.SabaBotanical.com 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

www.SabaBotanical.com 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.
