Hair Care...Question

[Margueratt]

The truth is out! I dye my hair, but I've been told by the naturopath to stop...does anyone know about natural hair dyes and how they affect your hair? I can buy herbal haircolour but can't begin to imagine what it will do to the colour of my already dyed hair!

Hi,

I know nothing of this product but the first thing that came to my mind was henna. You could go and read about it here;

One great peice of advice they gave is to take hair from your hairbrush and mix it with the henna to see if there would be any reaction with the chemical colororation that you've already done. You certainly don't want to end up with green or orange hair. Unless your going for that look lol.

Good luck.

Maybe you might want to try the 12 week or 24 week hair rinses instead of the dyes.....they might not be as harsh? is this for scalp P or just for natures sake?

Question: Why did your naturopath recommend stopping hair dyes?

yeah, I'd like to know too! i've been highlighting mine for years.... i was told it was ok during pregnancy, so i've never even thought about it anymore. (although I do use T-sal shampoo and it strips the color, so until i get my scalp P under control I'm not going to be getting highlights.)

I think the naturopath told me to stop as I'm in the process of doing his 'cleansing' diet, no processed foods, everything fresh, no chemicals....my guess is that the chemicals from the dye get into your bloodstream somehow..
