Natural, biodegradable, organic and safe, vegetable coloring is attracting more and more lovers of hair change. Even if classic colorings are still widely used, especially at hairdressers, there are alternatives to avoid chemicals and keep hair healthy and shiny. Focus on vegetable colorings and their benefits on the hair.

Why choose a vegetable coloring?

Chemical hair dyes are often very aggressive for the hair. During coloring, an ammonia-based product opens the scales of the hair to bleach them and add an artificial pigment to recolor them. Result ? Assaulted with each coloring, the hair is weakened - a little more with each coloring -, less shiny and loses its resistance and flexibility. In addition to being harmful to the hair, certain chemical compounds in these hair colors are controversial and can cause allergies.

Vegetable coloring, on the other hand, is made up of plant powders and natural ingredients. It will come to fix its pigments on the fiber of the hair by sheathing it and without destructuring it or damaging it. The vegetable coloring will thus act as a care while covering white hair.

Among the most popular, henna coloring is one of the most famous. This powder from the leaves of a shrub reveals its pigments on contact with water and provides long-lasting coloring.

Most of the so-called vegetable colorings are composed of a mixture of tinctorial and Ayurvedic plants, one having the role of coloring the hair, the other providing care and protection to the hair. By applying them alone or mixed with henna or other plant powders, a very wide catalog of shades and shades is obtained. Among the most used plants, we find madder powder and hibiscus powder, which bring a bright red color to blond hair and beautiful red highlights to dark hair.

Indigo - a natural vegetable dye - is used on brown, brown and black hair to darken it and bring a shade or bluish reflections. In the same spirit, Katam is a powder that darkens the hair, covers white hair and brings some bluish reflections.

On the contrary, to lighten the hair and obtain blond and golden reflections, we turn to chamomile powder, Rhapontic or rhubarb, which revive the shine of blond hair.
