Hello friend, yes what your friends say I feel is correct. Use of hair dyes have their ill side effects. One of our acquaintances got a tumour in brain and the doctors's opinion was that it was due the regular use of hairdye. So use of henna is harmless. If mix some more herbs like tamarind or lemon the colour will stay longer.

I don't have grey hairs yet but I prefer to use Henna instead of dye.Henna can make your hair shinier, thicker and healthier. I think using commercial dyes is bad for the hair.It can irritate your scalp and make your hair brittle.

yeah, dyes have very harsh effects on your hair and your scalp, my godfather lost his life to cancer coz he always appplied dye on his gray hair and tumors began growing on his scalp which led to cancer of the brain....be very careful!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad uses water-based hair colouring system to his hair. The ingredients used were mainly lighter than the usual hair colourant that has ammonia or peroxide in it.Its much safer and has no toxic fumes when you apply. I think Henna is also a safe alternative way to dye hair, its been here for like ages. :)

Hello i had applied real henna paste to dye my hair golden brown, it lasts for less time though, henna colors are long lasting but they contain poisonous chemicals added to them.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always, cheers. Professor. .
