Does your black, blonde or gray hair history showing? Try eco hair dyes next time you want to change your dark roots (or any colored ‘do, for that matter), so you can look fierce without the caustic chemicals in normal dyes.
Some benefits for doing these are: It’s healthier than watching a 12-hour miniseries in one sitting. Studies link the common hair dye ingredient coal tar to bladder cancer and lymphoma. Another thing is hair worthy of a 704-page novel. (Well, maybe not 704 pages…) Typical dye ingredients such as ammonia can dry out hair to the extreme. These won’t! And because the colors come from minerals and plants, they look far from synthetic. Lastly, it is biodegradable. When ingredients such as ammonia, chlorine bleach, and coal tar wash down the drain, they don’t disappear – but with eco-ingredients such as henna and wheat germ that’s not such an issue.
In fact one of my friends got her hair “did” using the natural color process, which covered up her gray perfectly. Her son opted for platinum blond using the same process and then proceeded to shave it off – but she said that it looked great while it lasted.
