Natural hair colouring

7 replies

I am going grey and looking for a natural way to colour my hair as I have a very sensitive scalp. My hairdresser has suggested I go grey but I would like to find and alternative if possible. I have tried Clairol semi permanent Nice n Easy after a few people recommendations, but lasted about 2 minutes before I had to wash it off because my scalp hurt. DH has tried painting the colour onto my hair using a tinting brush and this is better but some still gets on my scalp. I have trawled the internet looking for an alternative and come up with natural grey busters - has anyone tried it? Is it worth buying. I have mid brown hair.

Oooooh, I'd like to know too.
I have considered Lush's Henna (in brown, mind), but so far the faff is putting me off - who has time to leave mud henna on their head for 6 hours??

I've also read that these Henna colours aren't good due to the chemicals they put in to adapt the colour from "Henna red" (might be misinformed here!)

There are a number of more natural hair dyes with organic ingredients which are much gentler on the hair and scalp. The first time it might be best to go to a hairdresser that uses organic hair dyes.
Daniel Field, herbatint and naturatint do more natural hair dye.
Look at Janey Lee Grace she has written quite a bit about more natural hair dyes

go with the flow and embrace your greyness?

southeastastra I am tempted. I have one main grey patch across my right temple but then random grey hairs across the rest of my head. The grey patch looks odd!

You can use henna without chemicals if you mix it with Indigo (black henna) to make Henndigo. It requires a lot of trial and error to get your shade of brown, and it is very time-consuming, but it can be done :)
