Dye your grey hair naturally using henna & herbal hair colors

It was a happy day the day I realized I could dye my grey hair naturally simply by using henna and other natural herbal hair colors without having to necessarily become a red head.

You must be wondering: "Ok, you're using henna! How come you're not getting your hair orange or anyway red?"

My "secret" is that I use a homemade mix of henna (lawsonia inermis) & other 100% natural herbal hair colors, mix which allows me to obtain this wonderful warm dark brown on my 75% white regrowth. 

Henna & herbal hair colors are the natural alternative to chemical hair dyes.

They will rock your hair, leaving it healthy, glossy, voluminous and restructured with gorgeous, unique shades of color. 

The most known and most used herbal natural hair colors are:

red henna lawsonia inermis
