Harvest Moon

Healthy Hair Dye Maker Harvest Moon® Launches Updated Website, Continues Educating Consumers on Benefits of Chemical-free Approach to Hair Coloring

Largo, Florida 2018 – Harvest Moon® Healthy Hair Dye now has a modern, attractive web presence to complement its popular, all-natural line of hair and beard dye. The newly designed site is heavy on appealing graphics while also featuring an intuitive user interface. Being easy to use is essential to Harvest Moon’s® mission of connecting people with safe, effective hair dyes and related products.

Typical hair treatments and dyes are not supportive of long-term hair health. Bleaching, for instance, penetrates the cuticle at the base of the follicle, fundamentally altering the hair’s structure. The process also destroys pigment, which sometimes results in permanent color changes. Chemical dyes also break apart pigments and proteins. Perms, meanwhile, might be a dramatic way to create a new look, but at the cost of eventually making hair brittle and dry. Even something as simple as shampoo can cause problems. Too much or too vigorous shampooing or the wrong choice of shampoos will strip away hair’s natural moisture.

With so many ways to abuse their hair, it’s little wonder that consumers eventually seek out an alternative solution that doesn’t pile on more damage. Based on feedback, Harvest Moon estimates that 95% of its customers purchase Harvest Moon® products after having bad experiences with chemical hair dyes. The good news is that henna dye actually supports hair health and encourages luxuriant growth. Harvest Moon® explains that its products pamper hair, whereas so many other products essentially coerce hair into behaving a certain way.

Recipes for natural henna-based hair dyes go back millennia, with reports of Cleopatra using the compound to maintain her youthful and vibrant appearance. Henna works excellently as a hair dye for the vast majority of people, regardless of age, ethnicity or hair type. Seeing no need to reinvent the wheel, Harvest Moon® has developed a wide variety of dyes and treatments based on these ancient formulations. Dyes are available in more than a dozen shades, and customers can mix two or more together to create new shades.

Using Harvest Moon’s® hair dyes is easy. A strand test can confirm what shade will result given a certain color of henna; the company recommends that consumers pay no attention to bloggers touting supposed recipes for “enhancing” the effects of the dye. In fact, all that’s needed is henna and water – that’s because Harvest Moon’s® henna is always fresh and potent. The company sells complete hair dye kits, including plastic gloves and shower caps.

Today, consumers must be aware that many products, especially those in the health and beauty aisle, slap on the “natural” label without actually being chemical free. Harvest Moon® sets a different standard, guaranteeing that its products are completely natural. All of Harvest Moon® Healthy Hair Dye’s ingredients are plant-based, hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin or damaged hair. They’re even certified safe for children, pregnant women and people undergoing cancer treatments.

Shampoo and cancer?? Heads up! We will have more of our all natural shampoo very soon, hang in there.
We are sad to say many shampoos have an ingredient called cocomide DEA in it. This comes from coconut oil and has been discovered it will cause cancer. The FDA and state of California passed a law to say that the shampoo has a cancer ingredient and it could cause cancer. They have found almost 100 companies not listing the ingredient.
Meanwhile this was on our local news telling more.

We are excited to announce we have finally (after many many years of hard work) made a cream that is 100% fragrance free. 0 smell and we do mean 0!

We are also working on a shampoo that is also cent free and has 0 smell. This has been a major, major victory!

Expect to see it by years end!

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew we are cruelty free! Here is our Buddy rabbit!

We are expecting a new shipment of dark brown and brown this week. Thank you all for your patience. Our hair dye is certainly worth waiting for.

All colors are in stock at this time.

Henna Hut lost all power on today. We are hoping to have iut back on later today. We did hear a loud explosion but we are still unsure of the reason.

Maaking a note that the explosion was very loud it was more than likely from a transformer blowing up. If this is the case we might not get power back until the evening.

This means any ordersd placed Thursday after 3pm or on Friday will not be shipped until Monday August 26th.

Thank you all for your patience.

Really makes us mad when companies say there product is FDA approved. Hair products will never be FDA approved. They are not food or drugs! (Food and Drug Administration doh). Do not fall for it! We deal with the FDA on a regular bases. They are great people looking after your well being.

Really makes us mad with all the companies that say there product is organic, yet cannot show you the proof. If they say it is organic, ask for the PLU code and USDA seal . Companies mislabeling items as organic that are not can result in a 11,000 per item fine.

Many people are asking if we test our henna for PPD and if it is organic. What about other crops bleeding into henna crops? I hope below will help those understand how natural henna and indigo both are grown. FDA, DPA

We do have laboratory tested henna, we just do not use a scar tactic to get you to buy ours.

Ours is organic, we just are not allowed to market it in the USA as organic. The fact is it is extremely difficult if not impossible to get an official organic license because it is grown India, not in the USA.

We also test for PPD, and lead etc. Matter of fact we even test our shampoo for gluten and it is gluten free as well.

We see a lot of smaller companies doing just that but it will not be long before the FDA/DPA catches up with them.

We even see companies saying it is FDA approved. We deal with the FDA on a regular bases and it is not a drug or food so it will never be FDA approved. They do however take samples of every shipment we bring in. If a company says it is FDA approved or the FDA does not allow returns, this is a sign to look elsewhere.

Henna is only harvested once a year along with indigo unless you are doing commercial crops twice a year (China) and some parts of India near China.
Henna is also grown in extreme climates with no or very little water. Basically in the sand of the desert. The water from monsoons are usually enough water for the henna to make it a season.

Henna is not a plant that bugs like and it is a hard climate for them to survive.

With that said most henna is pesticide free and yes wind and water can carry almost anything anywhere. (Obviously Monsanto is a perfect example, even though evil, not toxic).

But also keep in mind, it would have to drift a long way and most pesticides are sticky waxy to prevent rain from washing them off (Shows on an apple, cucumber, tomatoes, etc very well). Also Cotton is not grown in the desert. That is what makes henna and indigo so extreme. It thrives in a harsh environment; to were most other plants could never survive. You can Google earth India and you will see a green side and a desert side (near Rajasthan). This would be the henna side vs. the cotton/cashews/tea side. India is huge on cotton, but cotton is easily grown in the USA.

Not indigo or henna, they have to have a desert climate, none like the USA can provide. Matter of fact blue jeans use to be made from real plants of indigo. Now it is made from synthetics. So blue jeans are not even real indigo any longer.

Fact is Chemical hair dye is being washed down the drains so often on a regular basis, it is shocking. This is like second hand smoke that goes unseen.

Think about it, they ask us not to toss meds in the trash or down the sink, so why aren’t salons regulated? I will tell you why, it is a 15 billion dollar industry! So I would be more worried about what the salon across the street is washing down the drain, not what is in the henna :).

3 kinds of henna, fresh henna and old henna, commercial henna. If it has chemicals it is sitting in the store on the corner. Anyone bringing in large quantities will be subject to the FDA. And it would be very costly for them to open it or buy in bulk and package it themselves to add chemicals.

Most fresh henna is great on the hair. Commercial henna is harvested twice a year. Doing so depletes the soil and produces poor henna.
