Natural and gentle hair colours for dry and damaged hair

What is a natural hair color?

Natural is a word making its way into color care and is no longer merely a description of plant-based skincare. However, since the phrase is not regulated, it is advisable to watch out for the ingredients that are missing rather than those that are present. I'll talk more about that later.





Do natural aqua hair dye actually work?


Yes, but first, a word about semantics. Other than henna, any chemical that permanently changes the color of your hair likely contains synthetic components in its DNA. Even though they don't include ammonia and may be used in smaller quantities than conventional goods, they are probably necessary for the mixture to function to some extent.


  • How can I naturally color my hair?

  • If you don't want to use a specific brand, you can color your hair with everyday items.

  • How can I naturally conceal my grey hair?

  • Lemon is best for blondes, while henna is best for darker hair tones.

  • Should I use natural hair dye?


To begin, if you have dry hair, a plant-based product may be beneficial. 'Most traditional hair colors contain ammonia, resorcinol, paraphenylenediamine (PPD), and para-toluene diamine (PTD),' says Olivia Crighton, director of Glasshouse Salon and hairstylist. The ammonia in these components can harm the state of your hair and boost the PH level of your hair above what is typical.


Additionally, resorcinol, a typical color pigment, and ammonia, the substance that gives hair dye its pongy smell, are extremely dangerous substances. In the past, studies have connected these compounds to respiratory issues, eye and skin irritations, and in severe cases, skin and eye irritations.


Finally, paraphenylenediamine (PPD) and para-toluene diamine (PTD) are petroleum derivatives that should be avoided,' says Crighton.


Permanent hair color frequently contains high concentrations of these ingredients, which irritate sensitive skin.


Things you need to know before using natural hair Dye:


1. The effectiveness of natural hair dye on your hair might be affected by specific components in shampoos and conditioners.


Silicones can also prevent color absorption and form a false barrier around your hair strands. Utilize natural shampoos and biodegradable products to enhance your hair color.


2. Do not be afraid to seek advice.

Once more, consulting a trained stylist can help you get superior color results. Although there are natural dyes available, each one reacts differently with your hair color; so, although they may work well on blondes, darker hair colors may not see effects.

The condition of your hair may also have an impact on how well color adheres to your locks. Think again if you think you can't get a natural color because of frizzy roots or dried-out ends.



3. Understand that you can simply use a tint.

Some natural shampoos and conditioners will color your natural or previously colored hair. So you can get a color refresh without using a harmful dye. To protect your hair from environmental hazards such as pollution, wind, excessive heat from the sun, and cold temperatures in the winter, try Indus Valley organic natural Aqua hair dye.


4. Seek out natural ingredients.

As an alternative to chemical dyes, many brands are now using ingredients like beetroot and henna.


Newer natural hair dye formulas also dye the hair with specially sourced Asian powders. Cassia powder, henna powder, indigo leaf powder, alma powder, and neem powder can all be combined to make pastes that change the color of your hair.


And, whereas hair dyes previously required 3 hours of processing time, these powders can naturally lighten hair in 30 minutes to an hour. While you can leave the salon in an hour, avoid harsh chemicals for two days afterward because the color will take time to settle.

If you go for darker shades with a higher concentration of indigo natural dye, you'll have to go through a process where the full development of color will take several weeks.
