Ask her if you can use an all natural hair dye, with no ammonia or any harsh chemicals in it. You can buy these from your local health shop.
Tell her, you just want a little bit more colour in your hair & that your not going to do anything extreme & that everyone else is dying there hair. I started dying by hair when I was 10! So.
Good luck! 🙂

Q&A: What is the main color in ‘natural’ hair dyes?

Question by fdgdfgsd: What is the main color in ‘natural’ hair dyes?

By this I mean:
Some dyes are called Ash dyes, some are called Golden dyes and some are called Natural dyes. Not sure if there are any more, but anyway, I know that Golden dyes have gold/yellow/red tones in them, and ash dyes are very grey/blue?? I guess. But I don’t know what Natural dyes main/base color is. Please help x

There are about 11 different colors for NATURAL hair dyes. What color is your natural hair? I have 4 on mine.

For years, there has been speculation among consumers and health groups that consistent use of hair color can result in an increased risk of certain types of cancer. According to Begoun, this is a real concern, but exhaustive research by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health has yielded no conclusive answers. Begoun says the research has been both confusing and conflicting: “In essence … there is no definitive proof one way or the other.” The FDA recommends that consumers weigh the risk for themselves.

Henna, for example, is a natural hair color that is incredibly drying to the hair shaft, Begoun says. And cosmetics scientists at TheBeautyBrains.com say that henna will only temporarily tint your hair. Although most so-called natural hair-color products use fewer chemicals than most drugstore hair colors, experts say that any change to natural hair color causes hair damage. Experts suggest using the gentlest formula that will yield your desired color and using it as infrequently as possible.
Herbatint & Naturetint are two permanent hair colors that use a smaller amount of hair dye chemicals in conjunction with natural ingredients. Both have fairly decent ratings at MakeupAlley.com (though each gets only a handful of reviews).

Here’s a new article I found re: henna, which is supposed to be better for you than reg. box dye. It’s a good read!
Google: Henna for Hair Warnings.
Google: Warning– Clairol Natural Instincts dye recall

If you’re using Henna which says it’s going to turn your hair from black to blonde, then it seems like your using compound Henna, which is not 100% natural. Without getting too scientific, compound henna is when you mix the Lawson in with a chemical like, metallic salts. The most commonly used ones are Copper, Lead acetate and Nickel. This can arguably damage your hair, leaving it dry, brittle and coarse.

How to lighten dark hair naturally at home?

Question by babyeedoll: How to lighten dark hair naturally at home?

I have naturally dark hair. I am growing out my highlights & going back to my natural color, but want to lighten it a bit. I used to use lemon juice and layout, but not much sun these days. Does the lemon really work to lighten hair? As I recall, it would add red highlights to my dark brown hair. If I put a heat cap on will it activate the lemon properties? Any other natural easy lightening tricks that won’t damage my hair?

Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?

Question by Denise H: Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?

Hard water is bad for hair because of calcium and magnesium. Most organic substances contain calcium and magnesium (even fruit). Wouldn’t the ingredients in hair products have those components as well? And if so why aren’t we concerned about hair creams, shampoos, gels, and conditioners as well?

Best answer:

Answer by Sur La Mer
If you’re too concern about the hard water in your hair, rinse them with bottled water. That’s what I use when I’m traveling. Some celebrities, ship Perrier Water to wherever they’re vacationing, and wash their hair with bottled Perrier water or spring water.

Anything that’s in our shampoos, whether OTC or Salon products, can’t be that bad, they’ve had the same ingredients since the 60’s, when bottled shampoos came out. Before then, we’ve used a bar of soap to wash our hair. The FDA recalled a product this week that’s organic. Not everything is safe anymore!

I don’t use conditioner on my hair, and my profile shows that cheap OTC .99 shampoo on sale can’t be that bad. What’s bad and damaging to hair: hair dyes (causes hair loss), perming, relaxers (contains formaldehyde causing cancer), hair straightening (causes hair to not grow normally), heating curlers, anti-acne products, Proactive which contains carcinogen causing cancer, washing in hot water (in those order).
