Healthy Eating Nourishes Your Hair -Inside and Out

Healthy Eating for Healthy Hair Growth from Essential Foods

Healthy hair growth is full of keratin. 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 growth 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.

Healthy hair growth 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. Eat healthy foods containing these essential nutrients and you’ll say “farewell” to dry, brittle hair. Therefore, eat more of the following:

(Note: If you follow a vegan, vegetarian or other diet, please add essential nutrients that fit your healthy eating.)

Vitamin A Sources

Vegetable Vitamin A sources: Dark green, orange, red, yellow vegetables and fruits (containing beta-carotene).
Dairy Vitamin A sources: Butter, fortified milk, egg yolks
Animal/Fish Vitamin A sources:, fish, organ meats (like liver)

Biotin Dietary Sources

Fresh is always best: carrots, cauliflower
Carrots
Cereals, yeast, soy flour
Liver, salmon

Vitamin B-12 Dietary Sources

Beef, lamb, liver, veal

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.

All the best,
Doretta W. from Portland, CT

Acne Treatment Needed? Try Fullers Earth –An Ancient Treatment!

Acne Treatment: About Multani Mitti (Fullers Earth)

Do you suffer from severe acne? Are you embarrassed by an excessively oily face? You’ve probably tried numerous medications for acne treatment, but haven’t had much success. Well then, how about trying something ‘new’ (for you)? It actually is an old remedy that has been proven to work for hundreds of years as an effective acne treatment.

Multani Clay* Powder (Fullers Earth) has been used as a natural treatment for acne for centuries by men and women all over the world. It’s also called Fuller’s Earth formed by decomposed volcanic ash. It contains minerals like alumina, silica, lime, magnesia, iron oxides contained within the clay that produce an abundance of health benefits for the whole body.

Multani Clay (Fullers Earth) is great for drawing dead cells and excess oils from the skin. It also stimulates circulation to the skin. It absorbs bacteria, toxins and reduces water loss. The skin is then rejuvenated and becomes smooth, soft and supple.

Acne Treatment: How to Use Multani Clay (Fullers Earth)

Multani Clay as a skin treatment is extremely absorbent. Mixed with enough water to make a paste, it is used as a face mask (10-15 minutes) to remove excessive oil from the skin. The only caution is, that the multani clay should not be left on the skin for an excessive amount of time, because it could cause over drying.
* Multani Clay is also known as: Multani Mitti and Fullers Earth.

My Henna Hair Dye Rescue from Chemical Dye Scalp Damage

Before Henna Hair Dye

A few years ago, I suffered severe allergic reactions to chemical hair dye. When I decided to look for a chemical hair dye alternative, I used a product that I thought was a natural herbal hair dye, called, “black henna”. It was not. Thus my scalp was damaged with both types of hair dye and it took quite a while for my hair to grow back and scalp to heal and feel healthy. I also had a small chemical burn spot from the hair dye, where very little hair grew, in the back of my head at the base of my neck.

At that time, I was quite embarrassed about the condition of my hair because I also sang in front of small audiences at special celebrations and events. Even though I didn't care to, I had to admit that on those occasions, I looked better donning a black hair piece or a wig.

After Henna Hair Dye
After some researching, I learned about using pure henna and indigo to dye my hair black. I would spend hours and hours, waiting for the pure henna's dye release to occur; then I would follow this up with an application of pure indigo. I was grateful for this method because I finally got my black hair covered. I still had to do a lot to condition my hair and try to get it to grow. My black hair started to grow back very slowly.

I continued to search for an easier way to apply henna hair dye and this led me to finding the Saba Botanical of USA website. I read about 100 % natural Lustrous Henna® and I admit that I was skeptical at first that with such a fast dye release, my hair would achieve color.

I decided to: Take ‘a leap of faith’. Now, my hair has finally grown back in all areas. I could finally show my natural black hair, instead of being worried about my looks. I felt like a tremendous burden had been lifted.

The Rest of My Henna Hair Dye Story

My hair condition is probably the healthiest it’s been in years. It is very soft and my curl pattern is looser, which I like. Also, I can easily cover my gray roots as often as needed. This is important because my hair has been growing in quicker lately and I want to cover up the gray roots when they come in. Now I do it naturally and have still experienced positive results. I’m very happy that I no longer have to wait several hours for a traditional henna dye release and that I can dye my hair when I only have an hour or two. I’ve happily used Lustrous Henna® Soft Black for the past few years; and I love my black hair so much, that I write the Lustrous Henna blog for Saba Botanical.

Got Gray Hair? Color it Naturally.

Gray Hair Colored Naturally. Will You Make the Effort?

Sometimes you have to try an alternative treatment to get the healthy results you want and need for your body.
For example, I have osteoarthritis. Instead of working out in the gym, using a treadmill or walking for exercise: I work out in a pool, doing aqua aerobics and water jogging. As long as I work out in the water, I have freedom of movement and I love it.

Many people are afraid to try alternative treatments or therapies even when the benefits are clearly apparent. However, usually they find that they not only are very satisfied with the results, but eventually can’t imagine their life without it!

The same is very true when coloring gray hair naturally. Since gray hair is sometimes resistant to 'change', some folks prefer to take their chances with chemical hair dye. They choose to ignore the warnings, believing that ‘nothing will happen to me...I've been dying my hair for years.'

Unfortunately, many have suffered severe damage to their scalp and hair, even after years of chemical hair dye use. It happened to me and I have a scar at the nape of my neck to remind me of the harm that chemical dye can cause. Fortunately, I've made the effort to color my gray hair with a natural, plant-based hair dye and my whole head of hair is thankful for it. The effort is definitely worth it.

A Hair Dye that Naturally Colors Your Hair

Lustrous Henna® has worked wonderfully for my resistant grays. It's a hair dye that's quick to apply when compared to traditional henna applications. I have black hair with silver gray edges on my front hair line, with a silver streak that I've inherited. Oooh...I just shared a secret! No one knew I had that much gray. I confess that sometimes I have to use a second application of Lustrous Henna® to get these stubborn grays completely black, but my hair LOVES me for it. Others have had the same great experience. Will you be next?
