Many of my clients keep asking whether or not to dye their hair - Here is some good advice from the experts;
"Our African hair is naturally dry and brittle. It is therefore important NOT to weigh it down with too many chemicals. This can cause your locks to break and look frizzy. While putting beautiful color in your hair is great, it is even better to have naturally beautiful hair to begin with. Therefore, when you set out to choose a hair color, you should stay away from ones that use a lot of ammonia and peroxide to color your hair.
The best choice for bringing some color into your hair is a gentle rinse. This is a semi-permanent coloring option. The rinse will coat your hair shaft, but it will not penetrate into the shaft. This means that after ten or twelve washes the color will fade back to your original look. However, since rinses are easy on your hair and easy to apply at home, this shouldn’t be a problem. You can easily add a splash of color to your hair once a month by using a rinse.
Another natural choice for hair coloring is using henna. Henna comes from a plant and in completely natural. It has been applied on hair for centuries. It will not dry out your hair and lasts longer than chemical based rinses. Henna usually comes in three color choices: black, clay red, and indigo. This type of dye will last for a couple of months and again, is easy to apply at home.
The one thing that you want to avoid when you set out to dye your hair is to dye it lighter than your natural shade range because it requires bleach, a product that really damages your hair".
Frankly speaking, the best hair color for your natural hair is the beautiful color that you were born with!!!!
