Know of a hair dye without horrid chemicals that works?

My hair is so overdyed. I can't bear to see my roots as I have a few grey hairs, so I dye it every month. (I'm afraid to say I use whatever's on offer, or the cheapest, that covers grey.) There must be a natural dye that actually works and doesn't use peroxide or ammonia. (I'm aware of the risk of cancer from commercial hair dyes too.) Can anyone help?

I use colorflirt by herbel essences because it has no harsh chemicals and smells great. It is also temporary and lasts about 8 to 10 shampoos but is worth it and costs very little. It also makes it possible to change your hair color very easily. I used it to dye my hair red before. It was great.

Someone I know has a very sensitive scalp that flares up whenever she has her hair dyed using traditional products. On her last trip to Asia, she was introduced to a product based on squid ink, which not only works better to cover her gray hair, but also doesn't irritate her scalp. I don't know what the name of the product is, or whether it contains the chemicals that you're concerned about, but maybe it might be what you're looking for. Try a search on Google for "squid ink hair dye" or something similar.

Note - I *think* the only available color is black.

Henna.

Applying it is a bit messy and smelly though, rather like smoothing a fresh, hot, green-tinted cow-pat onto your head, but it is healthy and wholesome and lasts a long time between applications.

Agree with others that Henna is a good healthy alternative but be careful with color choice since it colors gray hair differently and be sure to do a test strand preferably on the gray hairs to see the color it creates-for example, red henna can turn gray hair bright gold-this may or may not be the effect you want. You can find a 2 step henna as well that has a pretreat for gray. There are other herbal hair colors-check my blog for more information or my book "Beauty and the Budget" (a link to it also in my blog):

Be very careful with henna if you have grey roots, it turns grey hair bright orange! Do you have an Aveda near you or check out their website. All their dyes and products are completely natural and plant based.

You can try a semi permanent color that uses less peroxide. Peroxide is what cause the damage when coloring hair. Their are semi colors that last as long as permanent colors and cover gray. The semi colors are high in shine which make your hair appear more healthy. I suggest talking to your hairdresser.
