Have you observed a few shiny silver hairs in your hair? Those are your grey hairs! But instead of being embarrassed by them, or resorting to harsh chemicals to cover them, why not embrace your greys naturally with the power of a few hair dye alternatives?
There are tons of things in nature that can help you colour your hair and cover up grey with no snafus or damage. Henna, Indigo, Sage, Rosemary, and Chamomile are all popular options. These all-natural elements not just alter the colour of your hair strong and healthy.
In case you want to experiment with dyeing your hair at home, you can prepare some simple hair dye recipes! A simple one is combining henna powder with strong black tea and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Slather the mixture on your hair, let it sink in for a couple of hours and voila! You’ll have a gorgeous new hair color that will also cover your grays.
When it comes to naturally dyeing your hair, there are a few precautions to take. Patch test any hair dye for allergies before applying it every time. Put on gloves to cover your hands, and protect your clothing by donning a towel. Follow the directions: You’re going to need a bit more patience than you would with chemical hair dyes, because natural hair dye often takes longer to develop and show color, but it’s well worth it!
If you have no interest in making your own hair dye, don’t fret! The stores are filled with products for those who want to dye their hair the natural way. Choose products that are free of ammonia, parabens and harsh chemicals. Opt for those with natural ingredients such as coconut oil, avocado, or aloe vera. These options will help cover your grays, and keep your hair looking healthy.
