HAIR DYES-FOR GREY HAIR

GREY HAIR...
We..spend much time,and money on skin..trying to make it wrinkle free and ageless ,with antioxidants etc.

• But our hair reveals the secret of our age by becoming grey..and to some people it turns grey at an early stage making them look old at an young age..
• The cause -is only a few of us, spend time or effort into ensuring our hair to stay healthy,but many of us neglect.
• But if we spent some time looking after our hair as we do looking after our skin, surely everyone looks,and feel,look young..

  White hair/Grey hair

• Grey hair..It is the number1 indicator of old look however,young one may be,if she has grey hair.
• As we know, grey hair is by far an accurate indicator, and many people start getting grey hair right from twelve years.
• The lifestyles,pollution ,food habbits and the genes,genetic factors  may play an important role in greying early.
• Some choose to colour their grey hair, while others let it stay natural,but looking prematurely old.
• Grey hair does make you look much older than your actual age,than you would look with coloured hair.
• But many of the hair dyes  make hair hard/brittle, so be choosy and picky when selecting a hair colour.
• You are lucky enough if you are not having grey hair until you are in fifty years of age,surely  you will look younger than your colleagues and friends,who needs colouring their hair.
• Select a hair dye/hair colour which is gentle in nature,and has moisturiser instead of harsh colour. 
• However,if you have to start colouring hair from young age,then make a selection of hair dyes with utmost care..
• Check the  list of the chemicals/materials used in making the dye, and consult your family doctor,or google for the verification about the chemicals used .
• But go for branded companies products with name and fame,to avoid hassles and troubles..as they may give us the accurate and safe products..
• Now a days there are many relliable hair colourants available in the markets,but a perfect scrutiny is needed before selecting them..
• Never prefer Jet black or dark black colour,it looks artificial.I use Loreal/Naturtint 2N brown black for my family.It looks quite natural.
• Look beautiful and gorgeous  like an Angel with black hair.. 

HENNA- AS A HAIR DYE

Henna..
Henna..has been used since ages as a hair colourant. Henna,as mehandhi has been used for skin dyeing since ancient times to dye skin, as a temporary tattooing on hands,fingers and hair.

• The name is also used for other dyes too,black henna and chemicals mixed henna, which are not derived from mehandi plant.
• Henna is a tall shrub or small tree,multiple branched cultivated in sub tropical regions  of Africa,Southern Asia and Northern Australia.
• Henna.. is an herbal option.. for those who are allergic to chemical based hair dyes, considered by many Indian women for colouring their grey hair.

• Some hair dressers say,that henna is not safe,but for REAL HENNA it is not true.
• Henna and Black henna is different.Black henna is chemical based .

• Natural henna may be herbal,until unless any colouring chemicals are added.We have to rely on them.
• As some henna powders have metallic compounds that react with the ammonia activator in synthetic hair dyes. So,Buy henna only from reputable sources to avoid this,or go natural.
• Experts say,that instead of relying on the henna powders directly wet grind the mehandi leaves with water and apply to the hair.
• It gives a dark red/brown colour to the grey hair when kept for longer periods.
• For light brown/shade remove/wash in one hour only. 
• Henna dries out the hair and causes it to be brittle in the long run,it is not an good idea to henna for a long time, say years together.
• Next compulsorily- To avoid dryness,use a moisturizer or oil  to soften the henna hair.
• After applying henna,as a hairdye for more than one hour your hair will become brownish/reddish.Only selective people like the shade.
• In my view,when you have grey hair upto 25% to 50% then henna is useful to you much,as the hair totally looks well,and you can retain upto 1to 2 hours.
• But when you have grey hair more than 75% of your total hair,then you have to think ,as it looks red/brown tinge.
• Those who are allergic to respiratory problems and asthamatics,may suffer due to cold and coughs and pneumonia due to the wet henna on the hair for a long period. 
• The problem with regularly hennaing is the duration of the  time,dryness and brittle hair,the red/brown colour and lastly prone to cold allergies.

Henna  as a hair dye..

• Go natural,by using self made henna powder/paste,or purchase from a reputable known shop.Or you can get the henna leaves, and dry them and powder them and store them in a airtight container for people who has the oppurtunity.
• Mix henna powder,with tea decoction/instant coffee powder,a night before.
• Before applying add whole egg(if u can tolerate the smell)/egg whites,mix well and apply on the hair.
• Keep on your hair for 1 and 1/2 hours to 2 hours.
• Moisturize.. after you henna your hair compulsorily go for moisturizing your hair ,which softens your henna hair.
• Moisturize your hair with  eggs,or curds or coconut milk ,herbal oil and keep your hair clean with regular  headbaths.

• Apply a conditioner,and keep your hair under condition..

  

Highlights ..

• You can also go for highlights, and highlight colour all grey hair.
• So the rest of your hair will stay healthy, being your greyhair is covered with highlights, and your hair will look gorgeous.
   

Hair dye/ Hair colour..

• Go for a temporary, mild and gentle, herbal hair colourant,which just deposits colour on grey hair without impacting natural hair.
•  Best go for the gentle hair colour that you can find in the market, especially if your hair is grey.
• If you have more grey hair go for a hair colour.
• Do not use hair dyes which contain ammonia, go for ammonia free hairdyes..
• But they do contain hydrogen peroxide ,but hydrogen peroxide is less damaging for the hair.
• See that dyes do not contain parabens and sulphates too.
• Select for mild colourants ,and do not go for permanent hair colour which lasts for 5 to 6 weeks. 

• It is a confusion.. to select henna or a hair dye,but it is up/left  to personal .
• Hair loss may be due to many reasons,check them without getting panic,and come to a decision.
• Shedding normally upto 50 to 100 hairs a day may be normal.

I have a collection of tips from many sources, which I edit, and make an article for my blog.
