Olive Oil and Multani Clay -What are They Good For?

Olive Oil and Multani Clay -a great combination for hair.

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. An aged method for controlling excess oil in the scalp. Wash hair and impurities are removed but the hair still retains its natural moisturizers; thus hair is left soft and radiant.

Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth)has also been used as a natural treatment for acne and even to alleviate the pain of arthritis. It can be used as a face mask or full body mask (10-15 minutes). The only caution is that the multani clay not be left on the skin for an excessive amount of time because it could cause over drying.

Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth) and Olive Oil Recipes for Hair

Damaged or Dull Hair Treatment: Moisten hair with warm water. Massage generous amount of natural oil into hair (refined sesame or apricot, shea nut oil, olive oil, etc.) Cover hair with plastic shower cap (or plastic wrap like “Saran” wrap) and a towel. Leave on for a minimum of one hour.

Next: apply a muddy paste of Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth) mixed w/water to hair and scalp. Leave on for 30 minutes. Using warm water, completely rinse the mud from hair and scalp.

Shampoo with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical). Apply a small amount of refined oil (except olive oil due to scent) to damp, towel dried hair and scalp. Comb through with a wide tooth comb. Let your hair dry naturally.  

Split End Olive Oil Treatment:

Massage hair and scalp with olive oil. After 2 hours, steam hair for 30 minutes (wrap a towel dipped in hot water around head, avoiding face). Wash hair using a mix of Multani Clay Powder (Fullers Earth) and whole milk (use buttermilk for oily hair). Let dry naturally (olive oil will be absorbed. The next day, shampoo hair with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical).

Super Quick Dry Shampoo:

Divide hair into sections and fluff a little Multani Clay Powder through each section. Rub in well and leave on for 10 minutes. Brush out thoroughly with a clean brush. The Multani Clay will absorb most of the oil and dirt from hair. (Can be done if it’s inconvenient to do traditional shampoo).

* Multani Clay is also known as: Multani Mitti and Fullers Earth.

Hair Loss? Herbal Treatments that Nourish Your Hair.

Hair Loss Causes

Causes: Anxiety, undue stress, medication, improper diet, illness, harsh chemicals, excessive heat, excessive pulling, among other causes.

Hair Loss and Hair Care

Scalp Massage

Use almond or coconut oil for scalp massage daily for 10 to 15 minutes.

Other great scalp massage oil suggestions and actual photos can be found in an article about scalp massage on WikiHow. (See footnote).*

The Beauty of Amla

Amla or Indian Gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) stimulates healthy hair growth at the scalp level, and strengthens the hair roots. Amla extract in shampoo does not deposit any color on the hair and can be used by everyone alike. Amla extract helps replace the nourishment lost by hair gels, chemical hair color and hair spray.

Use Amla powder made into a paste to condition hair on a regular basis.  Apply paste to hair. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and rinse out thoroughly.

Hot Olive Oil Treatment (HOOT)

This is a great hair care treatment for all hair types: 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™ Nurturing Conditioner or So Natural™ Moisturizing Conditioner by Saba Botanical of USA.)

Be Gentle in Your Hair Care

Always be gentle when handling your precious hair. Especially when your hair is wet, treat it very tenderly. Apply a creamy conditioner, section hair; then gently detangle each section with a wide toothed comb, starting from the ends to roots. Did I mention ‘GENTLY”? If you are too harsh on your wet hair, it will break off. So please, be kind.

Hair Loss Caused by Unhealthy Diet

Improper nutrition is a leading cause of preventable hair loss. It’s absolutely crucial to change to a healthier diet if you suspect your hair loss is caused by poor eating habits. Vegetables, fruits, protein sources and dairy, along with plenty of water will nourish your hair from within. The more natural state of the food, the better for your hair care.

Improve Hair Quality

Applying the above suggestions with not only improve your hair quality, but will also help prevent further damage. Start today with a hair care  maintenance routine that will bring you beautifying results.

Got Dandruff? Treat it Naturally.

Dandruff. What is It?  

First, let's define dandruff simply: "Flaky dead skin that appears on the scalp, eyebrows or around the hairline, ears or nose; range from small and white to large, greasy and yellow.

Now let’s get more specific: “Dandruff is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. Dandruff should not be confused with a simple dry scalp. As skin cells die a small amount of flaking is normal; about 487,000 cells/cm2 get released normally after detergent treatment. Some people, however, experience an unusually large amount of flaking either chronically or as a result of certain triggers, up to 800,000 cells/cm2, which can also be accompanied by redness and irritation.

As the epidermal layer continually replaces itself, cells are pushed outward where they eventually die and flake off. For most individuals, these flakes of skin are too small to be visible. However, certain conditions cause cell turnover to be unusually rapid, especially in the scalp. For people with dandruff, skin cells may mature and be shed in 2–7 days, as opposed to around a month in people without dandruff. The result is that dead skin cells are shed in large, oily clumps, which appear as white or grayish patches on the scalp, skin and clothes.”**

Home Remedies Using Natural Herbs for that Flaky Dead Skin

Home remedies* include: following a healthy diet that includes flax seed oil; daily scalp massage increases blood circulation; weekly oil treatment to scalp, washing off in shower after 10-15 minutes will help avoid excessive dry, dead skin; frequent  mild shampoos that include any or all of the following Ayurvedic herbs:

Fenugreek: Seeds contain essential oil that contains 40 different valuable compounds. People used to soak fenugreek seeds overnight, and in the morning grind them into fine paste and apply them to the scalp for half hour for scalp treatment and removal of dandruff. The hair was then washed with Soapnut solution. The same paste was applied on the face at night before going to bed and then washed with warm water in the morning. This was known to prevent one from getting pimples, dryness and early appearance of wrinkles. It improved complexion and make one look younger.

Soapnut: Indian name Reetha fruit is also called Soapnut, as it contains natural soap. Beside excellent cleansing properties, it is known to keep hair and skin soft.

Amla: A wonderful cleansing agent for both the skin and hair. It imparts luster to hair and protects from dandruff and excessive dead skin, also helps prevent premature graying. Amla stimulates growth of hair on the scalp, and strengthens the hair roots.

Shikakai:  A pod that’s considered a superior cleanser for "lustrous long hair" and has been reported as "promoting hair growth and preventing dandruff". Due to the benefits of these home remedies, this pod was named "Shikakai" which translated as, "fruit for hair".

Rely on Ancient Home Remedies Using Natural Herbs

100% natural herbs including Ayurvedic botanicals for hair, face and body

* If the scaling from dandruff is greasy and yellow and does not respond to shampooing, etc. then it may be time to call your doctor; you may have seborrhea dermatitis and need more aggressive treatment your flaky dead skin. The above home remedies can still be used in conjunction with your doctor's approval.

Hair Dye Allergy –Is There Really a Natural Remedy?

Hair Dye Allergy –a Natural Remedy?

“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.

The Quest for a Truly All-Natural Hair Dye

He was only in his early twenties when his black hair started turning gray. Premature gray hair was hurting his image. Thus, Syed began his struggle to keep his formerly youthful appearance. Like countless other men and women, he used synthetic hair dye to hide the gray, however, after a couple years of use he started to experience allergic reactions to the dye: intensely itchy scalp left red and irritated. Unfortunately, his problem only got worse, even with so-called ‘mild’ hair dye. He was left with thinning hair and bald spots. His thick hair was gone and what was left was: gray. 

Eventually, following a friend’s advice, he decided to use what he thought was an all-natural 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 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. 

At last, the natural hair dye answer: pure henna. Syed started using pure henna to cover his gray. The result was that his hair and scalp were revitalized. However, there was one big negative. His hair was now a scary reddish-orange. All he ever wanted was his black hair back! 

Syed’s Brainchild: Lustrous Henna®

He finally realized that if he couldn't find the natural hair dye he was looking for, he would have to invent it himself-using NATURE. (Since there is nothing grows in nature that gives a black color.) His quest for a 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 is truly a brainchild of Syed Abbas. He 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.

Olive Oil for Great-looking Nails and Lustrous Hair.

Nail Care and Hair Care: Internally

Extra-virgin olive oil should be included in a healthy diet. A healthy diet is the key to healthy nails and healthy hair. Healthy nutritional changes can promote hair and nail growth and prevent nail damage and hair loss. You can obtain most of these from the foods you eat. If taking supplements, do not overdo it, since overuse can cause other health problems. Below are other essential foods to ingest, in addition to using extra-virgin olive oil for a heart-healthy diet.

Healthy Diet for Great Nail Care and Hair Growth:

• Include omega-3 fatty acids; an essential part of your healthy diet. For nail care and hair growth, try to eat salmon (preferable wild Alaskan salmon), sardines, herring or mackerel two or three times a week. Or, sprinkle two tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseeds per day on your cereal or salads, or eat walnuts.
• Supplement your diet with the essential omega-6 fatty acid called GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) in the form of black currant oil or evening primrose oil, available in capsules or soft gels at health food stores. Take 500 mg of either twice a day. Be patient with this one. You won't see results for six to eight weeks.
• Minerals that strengthen the nails and hair shaft: calcium, selenium and silicon (silica).
• Minerals that stimulates hair growth: manganese and zinc.
• Minerals needed that help prevent thin, flat nails and hair loss: iron (deficiency can cause hair loss), iodine (regulates thyroid hormone -affects hair growth).
• Vitamin that strengthen the nails and hair shaft: vitamin B-7, vitamin A (retinol).
• Vitamins that stimulates nail and hair growth: vitamins B-1 (thiamin), B-2 (riboflavin), B-3 (niacin), B-5 (pantothenic acid), B-6 (pyridoxine), B-9 (folic acid), B-12 (cobalamin), vitamin E.

Nail Care and Hair Care: Externally

Olive oil can not only be used internally, for a healthy diet, but externally for great skin, nails and hair. Olive oil can be used as a nighttime massage oil for hair, hands and nails.

Olive Oil for Nail Care:

1.) Simply warm the olive oil and soak nails for about 10 minutes; cover with cotton sleep gloves (worn while sleeping). Go to sleep.

2.) Use the following recipe to soften skin and strengthen nails.

Moisturizing Paraffin Bath for Hands.

4 ounces paraffin
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. Lustrous Henna® Face & Body Mask Skin Treatment
 

In a small saucepan, heat the first 2 ingredients together until liquid. Mix in Lustrous Henna® Face & Body Mask Skin Treatment until well-blended. Cool to comfortably warm and "paint" each hand or dip both hands at once into the mixture. Wrap in plastic wrap. Leave on 10 minutes; then peel off.

Olive Oil for Hair Care:

Nighttime Hot Oil Hair Massage Therapy for Hair 

Before going to bed (or anytime you have an extra 6-8 hours to wear a plastic cap), massage hot oil (EEVO/extra-virgin olive oil) into your scalp. Be careful not to make it too hot-should still be able to touch it without scalding your fingers

Cover hair with a plastic cap or wrap and hair bonnet/scarf. (Sleep on a towel to protect pillow from possible leaking). In the morning, (before bathing) mix a little lemon juice and acv (apple cider vinegar) together and apply it to your scalp, dabbing with a soft cloth.  Leave on for about 5 minutes and rinse out. Wash hair with Lustrous Henna Dry Shampoo Powder (made into a paste). Cover hair with plastic cap. Leave shampoo powder on hair for 5 minutes and rinse out. This will also help prevent dandruff and hair loss.

Taking good care of your hair will not only prevent hair loss, but will help you strengthen and maintain great-looking nails.

Hair Dye Naturally -Lustrous Henna® is EASY

Hair Dye Naturally 

Lustrous Henna® is EASY -Just Boil, Mix, Apply for Beautiful Color

1.     Boil Water.

2.     Mix water into a paste with Lustrous Henna®.

3.     Apply paste to hair when warm enough to handle.

Then follow Lustrous Henna® package instructions for completion in less than 90 minutes.

Henna Hair Dye Application Made Easier

Lustrous Henna® color hair dye is completely a plant-based, natural hair dye. It's made by combining pure henna with natural botanical ingredients and comes in various shades including a lovely shade of red hair. No more bright red hair! Lustrous Henna® hair dye comes in a total of nine (9) natural hair color shades.

The traditional henna application is no longer a tedious waiting game. The quicker application process of Lustrous Henna® color hair dye is a real time saver when compared to traditional henna application method. It usually takes -only about 90 minutes- from start to finish. Now that's henna application made easier.

Modern Living vs. Traditional Henna Hair Dye Application

Traditional henna application can take several hours, sometimes a full day to achieve the desired results. This is because you must wait hours for the hair dye to release after mixing the powder. Then wait longer after application of the hair dye for complete henna hair color results.

Even though pure henna by itself is a natural hair dye, solely using pure henna for hair dye produces a red hair shade that is not very attractive, on most complexions. Traditional henna application generally produces a bright, bright red hair! Actually, the hair dye produces a red-orange or orange-red color (take your pick). Do you really want bright red hair? (Didn't think so).

Condition Your Hair with Lustrous Henna ® Hair Dye

Natural hair is not only left with a radiant color but it is conditioned by the pure henna and other botanical ingredients. Lustrous Henna® natural hair dye also is appropriately named because hair is conditioned and the natural hair color looks and feels soft, supple and truly lustrous.
