Gray hair - best natual solution ?

[mom17]

I have very poor quality, thin, very low volume hair, almost all turned gray because of dye usage. I am using Loreal and every time I use it, it leads to lots of hair fall, irritation on scalp, eye site weakness but I don't know what all natural products are available ? All this is leading me to depression, my hair started graying at the age of 14(probably because of head injury !!). Please help me find out any good, less damaging n possibly natural solution.

Scott Cornwell colour restore in chrome and Colour Freedom are good. I also have have a Directions one, but can't remember the name.
Once you've put it on for the first time (have to keep it on maybe 15 mins) then I mix a bit in with my conditioner when I wash it and it stays longer.

Sorry to barge in, but I am growing out my grey and wondered if any of you can recommend a toner product to reduce the brorange effect on my dyed ends?

Also low vitamin D levels can cause hair loss sometimes

Low iron ferritin levels are often responsible for hair loss. There was a study

OP, I'd also say go grey.
your eyesight is being damaged - that worries me, you are clearly allergic to what you are using.

I lost hair after an illness and I took biotin - it grew back, but I have no way of knowing if that was the biotin or if it was going to happen anyway. That said, hopefully biotin can't hurt - look up side effects etc.

Can you use natural dyes from the Heath shop instead of the supermarket/boots

Here's a photo; it's evened out the line between dyed/grey hair. It's actually more purple than this photo shows.

Donge13 it's called La Riche Directions; it's available on eBay. It will cover grey but needs doing every 1/2 weeks. It conditions hair and has no peroxide or anything like that. It's only available in bright colours too; I'm a mixture of Rose Red and Plum. It stains your hair rather than changing it, so it washes out eventually. I'm only using it while I grow out the brown dyed bit and after one or two more haircuts I'll be ready to stop using it and go fully grey.

Thank you :) can't wait for it to hurry up and grow !! It feels so soft and the dyed part is so dry and flat ! Best decision I've made ! Should have done it years ago !

Dramarama, your grey looks beautiful! All silky and shiny

[Itsalldramarama]

IT will be worth it :)

Amother vote for growing the grey out , it's not worth subjective your self to the chemicals if you are having reactions ... 5 .5 months growth ...

What is directions dye and where do you get it from? Please

[VulcanWoman]

It took a long time, I started off having some blonde highlights with the foils, then had the roots done slightly lighter each time, I've found the bleached foils are making my hair dry though, so I think I'm just going to have the roots done, slightly lighter each time.

[Indiechic]

Vulcan, how did you do it?

[SewingAndCakes]

Another vote here for just going grey. I'm a few months in to growing the dye out, but I'm cheating and using directions dye to cover the regrowth.

[VulcanWoman]

I think they'd have to strip your hair first. I've been gradually going lighter from dark brown, I'm dark blonde at the minute.

[Indiechic]

I'm very dark with awful white roots. Would it be possible to start dying platinum blonde for a few years before embracing the grey? I'm not ready to yet.

Go grey!
If your hair is already that bad, you need to steer away from any sort of dye.

Grey hair needs a good cut, good conditioner, and for me- more eye make up.

If you're on fb theres a group Going Gorgeously Gray or on Pinterest, for ideas.
