Did you wish you were born with a full, rich head of red hair?

Yeah, me too. So much, in fact, that I dyed my hair red for almost five years before I smartened up about the chemicals I was rubbing into my scalp and washing down the drain with each dye job. Commercial hair dyes contain ammonia, peroxide, petrochemicals, and other suspected toxins. While dying your hair has not been proven definitively to harm your health, quite a few of the chemicals in commercial hair color have been linked to cancer. Environmental Working Group maintains a database that ranks each product by possible health risk, and the numbers don't look good.

What’s a redhead at heart but not by nature to do? You might want to try using henna.

Henna is a plant from the Middle East whose leaves contain an orange-red pigment called lawsone. When dried and crushed into a powder, you can use it to dye your hair a brilliant coppery red. However, unlike commercial dye that actually changes the strand of hair, henna is a translucent stain that combines with your hair, so the lighter your natural color, the brighter the red will end up.You can find the entire article here http://aboutmyplanet.com/daily-green...r-eco-friendly
