Do you change your hair color as often as you change your shoes? Well, we saw it coming. One day you would realize how your dye was treating you – always leaving your scalp irritated and never looking exactly like the photo on the box. Feed your need to express yourself while protecting your hair with natural highlights and dyes. The FDA does not regulate the ingredients in hair dyes (synthetic and natural), so it’s recommended to perform a patch test first to determine any allergic reactions. You can try the following:

• Morrocco Method Simply Pure Henna – check out their color chart to find your best shade.
• Colora Henna – 100% organic.
• The Henna Company – check out all their different shades – which is 100% natural and washes out in 8 to 30 washings, depending on if you get cream or the powder.

Here are some benefits of using these: Plant-based dyes gently color hair without altering structure or natural color. Standard dyes contain chemical ingredients like ammonia and peroxide, which when combined can cause damage to your hair and possible allergic reactions. Henna and natural dyes also, not only color hair, but act as conditioning agents to keep hair protected and healthy. These are also, free of coal tars and coal tar pitches. An increasing number of studies link long-time hair dye use with cancer, including bladder and bone marrow cancers, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. And, eventually you can wash it out if you don’t like it!
