What Is Organic Hair Coloring?

Organic hair coloring is a broad term used to describe the process of coloring hair while using fewer toxic chemicals than are used in traditional methods. Consumers looking for healthier, eco-friendly hair coloring alternatives have many products from which to choose. They also can opt for different processing methods, such as highlighting and low-lighting, that limit the scalp's exposure to dye. 

During traditional hair coloring, a cream or gel containing hair dye and chemicals — such as ammonia and peroxide — is applied from the tip of the hair to the scalp. The chemicals are left to soak into the hair for several hours. Permanent hair color lasts roughly six weeks, at which time hair strands and roots start losing their artificial color and must be dyed again. Semi-permanent and temporary dyes use fewer chemicals and typically don't carry the same risks as permanent hair colors. 

Certain hair coloring processes limit exposure to toxic chemicals, but there is a growing demand for organic hair coloring products that are made without them. Henna has been used for centuries to color hair in varying shades. This chunky paste does not color hair for as long as traditional dyes, but it comes without harsh additives. It leaves the hair naturally conditioned so there is no need for additional products that might be toxic or harmful to the environment.
