Vol. #11   Natural Hair Color: Who knew?
February 2007

Did you know that there is a natural, healthy way to color your hair and effectively cover grey? If you didn’t, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find out that chemical-free hair dyes are a fantastic way to get long-lasting, natural-looking hair color that leaves your hair shiny, healthy, and damage-free! 

If you’ve ever had sensitive skin or adverse reactions to chemicals such as ammonia, you’ll definitely benefit from natural dyes. They are absolutely ideal for anyone who has ever suffered from dandruff, psoriasis, eczema, skin rashes or any other skin conditions. If your hair is thinning or if you have had hair loss you may also want to consider switching to a chemical-free product that won’t cause further damage or hair loss. If you have undergone chemotherapy or have any form of cancer and wish to continue coloring your hair, it is also imperative that you opt for a chemical free alternative.  Even if you’ve never suffered from any of these conditions, but you’re just looking for something a little safer for you and for your environment, then we have the perfect alternative.

 My personal favorite is the Allegretti hair color, it’s what I use to cover grey and it works like a charm, the brand was actually only made for hair salons and professional stylists before, but as soon as we got the chance to get our hands on it we started selling it to the public and it has been one happy customer after another since then. These safe, environmentally friendly, natural hair colors might sound like a new concept, but might be surprised to know that Allegretti has been around since 1962, and it was in 1981 that they created the Color Royal Gel, which was the first color without alcohol or ammonia.

 One little trick I use to add dimension to the color and make it look more natural is to combine two colors at once. Suppose you are looking for a medium brown, try getting a dark brown and mixing it with a very light brown to get the desired result, this way you can be sure to get just the right color. You can also experiment with ratios to see what works best, try two thirds of one color with one third of another, the great thing is that you can keep the remainder of your dye until the next time you color, unlike regular dyes, which need to be thrown away after they are opened. You’ll find that natural hair color doesn’t work as well as regular hair color, it actually works much better! It is easy to use and you’ll be elated by the result.
