Hi People

 I dye my hair is that I have a few greys in my fringe and crown , I have been dyeing it with "Atlantis " water based hair dye...no yucky stuff but still dont like the idea of it.

Was told that Egyptian Henna is the most natural Henna to dye hair with.
Has anybody used it?
I used Henna years ago in my early 20s and it took me ages to get rid of the auben red.
I tried to sit in the sun at one time with coffee on my head to get the nice browns...then i couldnt get rid of the smell .

Does anybody have any real  natural remedies for hair dyeing?

Cheers

No problem at all Alegne - let me know how it goes .. I wanted to go just before i left Sydney but didnt have time. 

I just had it lightened here at an organic salon in NYC that uses clay based dyes and the colour looks great..

Vinegar is good also  - I use it to keep my hair from going brassy..

my mom uses henna to dye her hair.  it doesn't smell like the chemical commercial stuff she used to use.  it also gives her hair a more natural color then the commercial product.  the commercial stuff i noticed always looked kind of harsh and unrealistic.

Hey Rita,
You can find it in health food shops or organic shops. If you're really keen you can get it at bulk from New Directions lol.
It's quite gritty and you have to mix it with water yourself in a bowl so it can get quite messy. When you go to rinse it out it takes a bit to get the gritty bits out, but it leaves your hair nice and soft.

For the first time in 10 years I've grown out my colour and I am finally au naturale. It was pretty strange having so much regrowth for a long while, but now its all been cut out it's fantastic.
