Natural plant hair color: gentle for a refreshed look
Plant hair color offers a natural alternative to conventional hair color and has many advantages. In contrast to conventional hair colors, which often contain harsh chemicals, herbal hair color is based on natural plant extracts and powders. This gentle formulation is gentle on the hair and scalp, reducing the risk of irritation and allergies and giving hair a healthy shine.
How does herbal hair color work?
Conventional hair colors usually contain synthetic dyes and developing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, which open the outer cuticle of the hair to seal in the dye and set the result. This process often leads to a change in the hair structure and can leave the hair dry, dull and brittle.
The color release of herbal hair colors, on the other hand, occurs through the direct release of pigments from plant extracts, which can enhance or change the natural hair color. These pigments from henna, indigo, turmeric, walnut leaves, red wine extract, chamomile or black walnut shells surround the hair strands. This means they color the hair naturally, without penetrating the hair structure and without damaging it. In addition, your hair becomes stronger and visibly more voluminous with every coloring with herbal hair color. This keeps the hair supple and healthy.
If you want more volume without changing your hair color, you can also consider a treatment with so-called colorless henna, also known as cassia or senna.
Can I also cover gray hair with herbal hair color?
One of the notable properties of herbal hair color is its ability to cover gray. Contrary to previous assumptions, modern herbal hair dyes can effectively cover gray hair and give it a natural color. The results are natural looking, without the infamous "helmet effect" that chemical hair colors can sometimes create.
Herbal hair color – not just red henna
A few decades ago, herbal hair dyes did not have a wide range of colors to offer and there was almost exclusively red henna. But herbal hair colors now cover a wide range of colors, from light blonde and brown tones, to deep black nuances, to toners that help remove copper and yellow tones from the hair.
The natural effectiveness for your hair color
In summary, herbal hair color offers a safe, gentle and effective way to color and care for your hair. Their natural ingredients, gentle action, wide range of color shades and ability to cover gray make them a popular choice for anyone who wants to change their hair color in a gentle way.
