Hi friends, today I will be speaking about hair dyes and hair colours.
I will request you to Read this Articles till the end.
So that you know about the different kinds of hair dyes,and their benefits, as well as harmful effects.
And you will also come to know about the different chemical and natural hair dyes available in the market.
Hair colours are of many types:
The first is Permanent hair dyes.
These dyes do not come off once they are applied on your hair.
The other kind is Semi-Permanent dyes.Which come off after washing your hair with shampoo 5 or 6 times.
The next kind of dye is Temporary, which comes off after washing your hair with shampoo 1 or 2 times.
And lastly, Alternative Hair Colour meaning those colours which are not natural
such as blue, green, red, purple etc.
First, lets talk about Permanent Hair Colours/Dyes.
In these dyes, along with colour there is Ammonia,as also a chemical called "Developer".
By mixing these two chemicals a chemical "cocktail" is prepared which contains Ammonia, Hydrogen Peroxide, P-Phenylenediamine,Resorcinol, Parabens & sulphates.
Amongst other chemicals.These chemicals are quite dangerous and they can cause Kidney Damage,Lung damage,Urinary bladder cancer,Nervous system disorders and also Severe Allergic Reactions.
Because the public is nowadays more aware that is why companies put these chemicals in much reduced quantities in hair dyes and then call these dyes .
"Natural Match"
"Herbashine"
"Ammonia Free" etc for the purposes of marketing.
Here I would like to give you a piece of advice that Pregnant women, Lactating
mothers,people who suffer from Asthma & Eczema or those who suffer from Kidney disorders should definitely NOT USE Permanent Hair Dyes.
I will anyway tell you the names of a few permanent hair dyes over here -
these are -
- Loreal Paris Excellence Creme Hair Colour
- Matrix SoColor Permanent hair Colour.
- Wella Color Charm Permanent Hair colour.
- Garnier Nutrisse Permanent Hair Colour.
Now lets talk about Semi-Permanent Hair dyes-
These dyes do not contain Ammonia & Developer whereas other chemicals like Hydrogen peroxide & P-Phyenylenehydramine are also contained to a lesser extent.
That is why semi-permanent hair dyes only colour the surface of the hair and do not penetrate inside the hair and cause damage.
Semi-Permanent colours remain vibrant upto 3-4 weeks (depending upon the frequency of washing) and then begins fading out.
Semi-Permanent hair colours can only be used to darken the shade of your hair
for example, you can make your hair brown or black (brunette).
But you cannot lighten your hair colour which means that semi-permanent dyes cannot be used to colour your hair golden or blonde.
Some good semi-permanent colours available in the market are-
- Loreal Professional Hair Colour
- Garnier Color Naturals
- Godrej Kali Mehendi
- Godrej Expert Rich Creme
All these dyes are semi-permanent.
Now lets talk about temporary hair colours-
Temporary hair colour is available as Hair Wash, Hair Shampoo and also in Gel, Spray and Foam form.
These dyes colour the hair vibrantly and give them a good shine but they get washed away after just one or two hair washes.
These are good for a party or they are also pretty good for a one off special occasion.
Now I will tell you the names of some good temporary hair colours-
- Loreal Paris Magic Root Cover Up Dye
- Toppik Root Touch Up Spray
- Sunsilk Insta Highlight Temporary Hair Colour Spray
- Bblunt One Night Stand Temporary hair colour
- Fluffy thin hair powder
- Hairline Root Concealer
- Dexe Root Cover Up/Concealer with instant results.
Now, lets discuss Alternative hair colours.
These come in green, red, blue, purple and several other shades, in spray form
but keeping these colours in your hair for an extended period can damage your hair.
This is the reason why beauticians, as well as dermatologists both nowadays recommend you to colour your hair with either semi-permanent, temporary or natural dyes only.
Now I will tell you the names of some good natural hair dyes,these are-
- Patanjali Herbal (Organic) Mehandi
- Organic Indigo Leaf Powder
- Godrej's Nupur Henna
- Shahnaz's Colourveda Natural Hair Color
- Organic Hair Colour by Kama Ayurveda
- Indus Valley Botanical Hair Colour
- Vagad's Khadi Ayurvedic Black Mehndi
- & Bio Organic Hibiscus Flower Powder
If you want to use Mehndi or Indigo Powder to dye your hair then it is good if you soak it overnight in water and then mix it with curd, oil etc in the morning, before applying it.
This not only leaves you with a rich colour but it also ensures that your hair do not get dry.
My recommendation to you is that it is alright to change your hair colour once in a while but those people who colour their hair repeatedly should use natural hair colours.
In my Blog ,One Article about Hair Masks, for colouring and conditioning your hair
I have explained about how to make a Mehndi Mask in detail - You can check it out.
In the end, I would like to tell you one more very important piece of information.
The substance that is commonly known as "Kali Mehndi" or "Black Henna"
and sold in the market under these names is NOT a herbal or plant product.
This is actually a chemical which is called Paraphenylenediamine this chemical is ok for dyeing/colouring your hair but if you use this to make temporary tattoos on your skin.
You can suffer from a severe allergic reaction that is why you can use Kali Mehndi on your hair but NEVER use it for tattooing your skin.
Friends, I hope you have liked my Article and that you will find it easier to choose and apply your hair dye/colour after seeing this Articles.
Thank you!
