Lush Hair

The first time I ever died my hair was with henna, and quite along time ago. Instinctively I have always avoided artificial chemicals and products full of them - specifically make up and hair products, and I have experimented with various natural materials and methods.

My favourite is the clay facial mask, bath and of course henna.

Here is one of my favourite brands - Lush - their henna is called poo but it contains a bunch of natural, lovely and safe ingredients -100%.

They make your hair look shiny, feel healthy with absolutely no risk at all.

Here are some more about it:
LUSH Henna Hair Coloring Products

What Is Henna?
Henna or ‘Lawsonia inermis’ is a privet type bush that grows abundantly throughout the eastern countries. It has a natural, vibrant red color that also coats hair to add loads of shine.

Henna quality depends on which country it is grown in. For instance, Egyptian and Pakistan henna gives a weak orange. Lush uses the finest henna in the world, which is grown in Iran (Persia) and gives a vibrant red color. Obtaining Iranian henna is not simple, but we are lucky enough to have a supply line into the UK. We purchase it by the container load (a few tons at a time) to offer the finest possible henna to our customers.

History
Hennas have been used since 3400 BC and is are well documented safe methods for dying hair (and skin). Hennas offer a safe alternative to coloring with commercial hair dyes. A henna can be modified with other ingredients like chamomile, rhubarb, coffee, and indigo.

OUCH: Originally, common commercial hair dyes were a product of the carpet dying industry in France. Such dyes were fatal substances and resulted in the deaths of many people.

And that reminds me of a very important issue... The Codex Alimentarius.

Our top client hair and beauty salon Gielly Green is famous for their... sofas

We've been working with Gielly Green right from the start and it has been an great pleasure to look after this amazing space.

I couldn't resist blogging about their beautiful interior design, which the owners Fred Gielly and Shai Greenberg have designed themsleves.

Here is an exract from one of the articles on their designs from the ESMagazine:
Dentists use them, but every household should own one (it turns from an armchair into a bed/massage table in seconds).

I had the great pleasure to have sat on one, while I had the best ever hairwash/massage. Heavenly! ...and highly recommended - www.giellygreen.co.uk; t:02070243060...
