Natural Henna Hair Color
If you're looking for a natural alternative to chemical hair dyes
, you may want to consider henna hair color. Widely known as a dye used to create body art, this plant-based dye has long been used as a hair dye in India, Rome and Spain for centuries and is gaining popularity here in the US.
Women have traditionally used henna, the same plant that is used to create temporary tattoos on hands and feet, for thousands of years. It was used not only as a way to change hair color but as a beauty treatment since it made hair softer and more manageable. It also could be used to leave a red color behind depending on the concentrations and the mixture that was used.
Many women have tried to 'go blonde' but been left with orange hair instead. This generally happens after the blonde color they used didn't lift their hair as much as the package promised! When color mistakes happen, remember that life is full of hair blunders. Most hair color mistakes are fixable! It may take a few more colors to reverse your color disaster, but have patience. After all, good things come to those who wait!
If you're new to hair coloring, you may want to do either a temporary or semi-permanent color to start out with. A temporary hair color is a color rinse that will wash out in a shampoo or two. A semi-permanent color typically lasts for about 6 weeks or more (depending on how often you shampoo your hair). Compared to a permanent hair color which needs to grow out and requires frequent root touch-ups, these may be better choices for the newbie.
Most of natural products are made of herbs. They rarely cause allergy on the skin, unless they are combined with some chemical agent. One of the most popular plants for them is Henna (Lawsonia Intermis). Naturally dried Henna can produce brown, orange, and red. If it comes in blonde, brown, mahogany, there is a possibility of chemical agent combination. It has been used since thousands years ago.
After selecting the length of time that your hair color will last your next choice is to determine whether you want a natural or chemical hair coloring. Natural hair colorants will typically create a temporary hair tint. Some of the natural hair tints that you can use include cranberry juice, tea and henna. Chemical hair coloring agents can be found in do-it-yourself hair coloring kits and they can also be found at your local hair salon. Natural hair colorants are gentler on your hair and skin then chemical hair coloring agents, however, they do not last as long.
Hair color is a reflection of light off the colored pigment of the hair shaft. Different colors add or subtract from the hair color giving it various hues and shades. Colors that are too beige or ashy don't complement skin tones. Try using gold or warm tones, this gives the skin a more youthful, healthy glow. Try not to panic and rush to find a solution that might cause even more harm. Do not condition your hair a few hours before applying hair dye, shampooing will do the trick. Pick a color one shade lighter when dying your roots.
Hair Dyes were originally known to be harmful to the hair due to the chemicals that are used to make them. But as years passed, the changes in technology has also evolved the art of hair-coloring. Today's formulation of hair dyes no longer has a damaging effect on our hair, instead they can add nourishment to the tresses. In the 1920s, henna was favorably used as a hair-colorant. During the 1950s, Clairol came up with a breakthrough of lightening the hair without using bleaches.
