Chemically Dying Hair Vs Herbal Hair DyeDyeing hair is one of the unfortunate tasks that women (and some men) go through to look younger and feel good about their appearance. Or if you’re Kelly Osbourne, because your favorite color is purple. Maybe you want to hide some grays, or maybe you’ve always wanted to be a redhead. Whatever the reason, there are alternatives to using the chemical goo you can buy from any drug store.
Dyeing your hair dries it out. Over time, even those color treated hair shampoos can’t manage to give you that natural hair feeling. Speaking for experience a bad dye job can ruin your life.
Learn from my mistakes—don’t use chemicals! In fact, some of these chemicals are so crazy that you don’t even know what’s going on your head or in your body. Naphthalenediol, Methoxytoluene, and Diaminobenzoic acid are just a few of the banned substances, but you get the picture. Here are ways to get a more natural hair color.
