Fashions are not only set by haircuts, but trends in hair color are another of the main culprits for a good part of visits to the hairdresser. However, there are still many who are not convinced to apply this type of products to their hair. Or even those who are discouraged from using dyes due to the state and health of their hair, especially if it is damaged or has gone through some processes that have caused damage to the hair. Luckily, there is an alternative for those who prefer a healthier and more ecological option. These are vegetable dyes.
We must not forget that conventional dyes contain a series of chemicals that affect hair health. In addition to having the disadvantage of causing irritation and other problems to the skin. This does not happen with vegetable dyes, which are used to color hair without having to risk suffering this series of risks. A technique with many advantages and which, however, is still unknown to some.
Vegetable dyes are nothing more than products formulated for hair coloring and whose components are based on plant extracts, so the hair is colored using ingredients of natural origin. That is, they do not have the chemicals that are present in conventional dyes and that penetrate the hair structure. Something that does not happen with vegetables, since they only act on the surface.
This is precisely one of the main advantages of vegetable dyes: they are not aggressive to hair or skin. So they will not have a negative effect. A benefit that makes them suitable for people with certain dermatological problems. Due to the qualities of these dyes, they are also suitable for pregnant women and for patients undergoing cancer treatment. However, it is always advisable to obtain the approval of a medical professional before applying them.
Another strong point of vegetable dyes is that they offer a healthier appearance to the hair, since they nourish the hair, making it look brighter and less prone to frizz. They also help reduce hair loss. In addition to fighting grease and dandruff. And, to top it off, the result obtained is much more natural and the root effect is avoided.
So far so good. But vegetable dyes also have some drawbacks. The most obvious has to do with the duration, since it is shorter than that of a chemical dye. Another aspect to keep in mind is that it may not be used to achieve certain results: they do not bleach or lighten the hair, they do not cover gray hair completely and the variety of colors is much smaller.
