THE STORY BEHIND OUR ORGANIC HAIR COLOUR INGREDIENTS

Organic Mystique: Unlocking The Chronicles Of Our Hair Colour Ingredients

The Organic Hair Colour Ingredients we utilise are curated from nature’s palette, ensuring a toxic-free, nourishing colouring experience that reveres the environment and embraces your hair’s health.

Organic Hair, Where?

Organic beauty products are taking the world by storm, and the haircare industry is no exception.

There are thousands of videos on the internet of people frying their hair off by using chemical dyes, but people are shifting to organics in response (we don’t blame them!)

Damaged hair isn’t fun.

As advocates of this au naturel lifestyle, we urge you to sit back as we unravel the secrets behind our organic hair colours.

A Historical Journey

Using natural ingredients for hair colouring is not exactly a brand-new idea.

Ancient cultures across the globe utilised the plants, berries and minerals around them to change their appearances organically.

From the henna-adorned hands of Egypt and the Middle East to the old herbal practices of Ayurveda, each was expertly crafted and ritualised.

However, our ancestors passed down the tips and tricks many of us hair dye enthusiasts still practice today.

Wisdom Meets Modern Demand:

These old ideas haven’t faded; they’ve merely evolved.

There is a growing awareness of the harm caused by synthetic hair dyes, so more and more people are looking for organic alternatives.

Today, we pay homage to these timeless traditions by continuing the legacy of natural hair colouring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Curiosity is the first step to making an informed choice.

We’ve gathered some of the most common questions about organic hair colours to guide you on your journey.

1. What are organic hair colours, and how are they different from normal dyes?

Organic hair colours are made from natural ingredients, nothing man-made. They don’t contain synthetic chemicals like ammonia or parabens, making them gentler on your hair and the environment.

2. Will vegan hair colours provide the same vibrancy as chemical dyes?

Yes, but they work differently, and there’s a variety of colours. The colour may seem subtle at first, but it's something that you gradually build up to deepen the colour.

3. Are organic hair colours suitable for all hair types?

Yes, they are suitable for all hair types. However, it is good practice to do a patch test to make sure you don’t have any reactions or sensitivities to the ingredients.

4. How long do herbal hair colour components last compared to synthetics?

It depends on what you do to maintain it. Typically, organic colours may need more frequent touch-ups, but this is manageable as they’re much less harmful.

5. Can I achieve a specific colour with natural dyes, such as blonde?

Here at Natural Colour Works, we use a Kelp-based organic lightener that doesn’t bloat the hair, like chemical bleach, to get down and strip the root.

6. Are organic colours safe for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals?

Plant-based hair dyes are generally safer than chemical dyes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please consult a healthcare professional before using any hair colour product during this time.

7. How can I maintain my vegan hair colour for the best results?

Use sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoos and conditioners. Minimise exposure to harsh sunlight, which can fade colour, and try to avoid chlorine-treated swimming pools. Follow the instructions on the product or ask what your hairdresser recommends.

8. Do organic hair colours cover grey well?

Our soya and water-colour hair dyes beautifully cover all greys, leaving you with a wonderful colour and glossy head of hair.

9. Can I switch from chemical dyes to natural dyes without issues?

Yes, but give your hair time to get used to it. The first few applications may not have the same effects, but your hair will get used to the dyes and become healthier and more vibrant.

10. Are organic hair colours eco-friendly and cruelty-free?

Many brands, including ours, are committed to sustainable sourcing, ethical production, and fighting against animal testing. Look for certifications and labels that show this when buying your products in stores.
