The colour of your hair is an essential part of your overall appearance. There are a number of celebrities out there who have experimented with their looks from time to time, primarily by opting for a hair colour different from their current one. Changing the colour of your hair is no recent trend, with natural hair dyes being produced from plants even in ancient times. Synthetic dyes, however, began to be developed only in the 1860s, after having stumbled upon the utility of Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in the making of hair dyes. From there onwards, the hair styling world has not looked back. Synthetic hair dyes, as opposed to natural hair dyes, are known to contain certain potentially toxic chemicals. While the risk of you contracting cancer through the use of hair dyes is quite negligible, unless you're working in a salon and have to deal with synthetic hair dyes regularly, you'd rather play it safe and work with natural hair dyes to get that new hair colour you so desire. Apart from not having to worry about all those toxic chemicals affecting your skin and hair, natural hair dyes are also rather easy to make, with the ingredients required to make them is quite convenient to source as well (you probably won't have to reach farther than your kitchen to find them). Natural hair dyes can be prepared in all the usual colours- red, black, brown and blonde, and even in some not so usual ones such as green or crimson. We will show you some ways to cook up natural hair dyes on your own, using ingredients that are quite convenient to the source.
