Natural Hair Dye Ingredients

Since avoiding chemicals is an obvious choice for most people wanting to pursue a more natural way of life...it only follows that conventional hair dyes must go. There are some natural ingredients that help you achieve a new color as well. We have provided a list below:

Cranberry Juice - tints hair a reddish color.

Henna - brown color. Try these brands: Light Mountain Henna  | Hennalucent  | Dark Brown Henna

Black Henna - This is for black hair. It is a mixture of indigo blue dye and brown henna...it mixes up to create black.

Lemon juice and chamomile tea gives natural highlights to blondes and light-haired brunettes.

Cinnamon can brighten red hair

Tea - brown color

Coffee - brown color

Beets - red color

Most natural health care experts agree that going without hair dye altogether is the safest route. Hair color professionals should wear heavy plastic gloves and a mask to protect against fumes, and should schedule their color work with lots of breaks between applications to limit exposure. Consumers, when possible, should shop around for less toxic, all-natural coloring agents. Many companies like, Avalon Organics, Aubrey Organics, Dessert Essence Organics, Jason Natural Products and Simply Organic make all-natural hair colorings; other popular brands include EcoColors, Naturtint, and Clairol’s Castings line. Hennas, which are available in most salons, are also a good safe, non-permanent option.
