Henna hair dye from Whole Foods?

Just_A_Gir

Today I am driving out to Whole Foods to pick up some henna to use as hair dye. However, I did some research online and read that getting henna from a health food store (like Whole Foods) means the product might be old/stale and give you a funky color. Do you think that I will be fine with the store-bought stuff, or should I order it online instead?

Answer
I bought a burgundy henna hair dye at Feel rite (a similar store), and it worked fine for me. I will say it was quite pricey, about 18 dollars, and that the dye didn't last long (reds generally don't). But there was nothing funky about my color, and it left my hair extremely soft. If you're worried still buying it online will probably save you from buying it at a hefty price.

Food Colouring Hair Dye!!?

Sarah

So I have a 2 week term break and I really want to dye my hair but I am not aloud it for school. But my friend told me I could dye it by putting food colouring in hair mousse and putting that on your hair but I want to know how long it lasts for. Anybody tried it and know?

Answer
Depends on your hair colour. If it's very light, the colour will probably last the whole break but if it's on the darker side, it will last you two washes.

Whole Foods Hair Color Products Safe?

L

Are the hair color products at Whole Foods market safe? After I used them, can I go back to other products (like Lorelei, Revlon)? The other products' chemicals have ammonia but Whole Foods doesn't have any.

Answer
I've tried the brand Naturtint, they sell it at Whole Foods, not sure if that's the one you're talking about because I know they sell a couple. Yes, Whole Foods hair products are safer than the regular dyes out there (L'Oreal and Revlon). They contain less chemicals, and more natural ingredients- way better than the regular dyes, but it is perfectly safe to go back and forth between the brands.

My hair damages so easily?

Auria

Even when I don't use heat on it, it gets split ends. It's very frustrating. I don't get a whole bunch, but I want my hair to be ALLLLL healthy. Any tips to make it grow more too?

Answer
Healthy hair can't be answered in 1-2 sentence, it's a lifelong commitment.
Heat & chemicals are hair's worst enemies. Natural hair means no relaxer, no chemical to straighten your hair out, no styling heating tools. The way it grows out your root, thatâs the way you rock it.
Always choose a shampoo that's tailored to your hair needs. For example, certain shampoos are created for fine, curly, color treated, or dandruff-prone hair.
Best advice from Hollywood's well known hairstylist in the 80's once said: "Keep foods in your mouth and hair products on your hair."

CARE: 1. Washing less often, builds the natural oil your hair needs, to get them smoother, shinier, silkier, softer. Man-made products are just temporary, until you wash them again, and at the same time washing off the natural oil your hair NEEDS. Hair products just absorb on your hair if they're dry, like a sponge. Shampoo & condition is all you need.
Jessica Simpson have figured it out, she said she wash her hair every week. She used to abuse her hair, then start selling hair extensions because her hair starting falling from all the chemicals, but she woke up and found out how to keep her hair healthy AGAIN.

When you wash your hair with one of those nutrient-rich shampoos or conditioners, most of the nutrients and active ingredients in the product donât actually end up in your hair, they wind up down the drain⦠along with all the money you spent on the shampoo. It is HOW you use to style your hair or what styling tools that damage the hair, and what chemicals you're adding to the hair, not the shampoo or conditioner.

2. If you want your hair soft, you can briefly blow dry it, set them in curlers or pin curls them, blow dry, let them cool off, take the curlers &/or pins, finger tousle the hair or brush lightly to style. They will be silky, soft, smooth & shiny (for straight hair).

3. Cutting your split ends yourself, spend 5-10 mins. on a sunny day so you can easily spot them, using a 2" scissors, cut strand by strand, section by section, allowing new growth to take over. Then 2x a year, get a good hair cut. This won't speed things up, but it will make the hair look healthier while it's growing. Even healthy hair like mine get them, due to normal brushing & styling. but mostly from using stretchy chord for stressing the hair.

DIET: If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.
Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" - Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results.

Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .
RE: HAIR OIL: "You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesnât get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,â Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.

Best answer comes from people with Avatars, showing their healthy, shiny, silky, soft, smooth hair.

How long do I leave food colouring in my hair?

Elle

My mum wont let me use hair dye, So I am going to use food colouring and conditioner unless I should use shampoo.
I don't know how long to leave it on do I leave it in for 1 or 2 hours or 2 and a half hours?

Answer
Hey :) You can leave the food coloring in over night with a towel on your pillow, as a previous answerer said, it washes right out but I found that the red stays in much longer than any of the other colors as it is the most potent of all. I made purple with blue and red and it washed out into a maroon color because the red kept hold of some blue. A good thing to use would be Gension Violet or Macurochrome, I've used both before and the Macurochrome lasts much longer than the Gension Violet but the Gension Violet looks way prettier than the Macurochrome - It does this whole bluey/purple thing which I really like. Hope I helped :)

MY HAIR IS SO DRY ITS BREAKING OFF!
and it turned grey from black hair dye, i dont want to strip the color cause my hair might break off :(
but this grey is so ugly. help with repair??? what do i do to fix this WHOLE mess?

Answer
Your hair is breaking of for a reason: how you've been caring for your hair, what chemicals you're using, and what heating tools you use.

Natural hair means no relaxer, no chemical to straighten your hair out, no styling heating tools. The way it grows out your root, thatâs the way you rock it.
