Many manufacturers of synthetic hair dye and hair coloring refute the claims of natural product manufacturers that they can actually make organic hair dye. While there are natural hair dye products on the market, many feel that they do not work as well as synthetic versions at coloring the hair. Organic hair dye uses things like vegetable dyes and henna to give the hair the colors that customers want. However, the color is not as lasting as with the synthetic dyes.
For a lot of people however, using a natural hair dye will still serve a better purpose than using a synthetic-based one because there are none of the harmful chemical ingredients included in it. The ingredients that you need to avoid in a hair color include ammonia, peroxide, lead and even coal tar. Using an organic hair dye will definitely help you to avoid those ingredients.
If you want true organic hair dyes, the John Masters Studios in New York provide excellent products which are ammonia free and dye-free, as well as totally organic. If you are not going to New York any time soon, then you can try out any of the following organic hair dye products available on the market:
