Which hair color is safest for hair?
Temporary or vegetable dyes like henna are the safest for hair. These dyes do not cause a chemical reaction and contain no toxic materials. Also, semi and demi permanent dyes are not hard on hair because they contain little to no ammonia. ** A note on henna...the safest henna to use is Body Art Quality henna, not the boxed stuff found in health food stores. It is just henna leaves ground up with no added chemicals. BAQ henna is SAFE, non damaging and looks beautiful. Remember, henna comes in only one colour, and that is reddish orange. Your starting colour is the base. My hair is a lovely cherry red from hennaing for a couple of years....and you know what? I get no headaches anymore. I used to use ordinary permanent dyes and got headaches all the time. Henna is also very permanent. The Lawsone bonds with the keratin in the hair making it impossible to remove. Pure henna will not turn your hair green even though it looks green. Check the ingredients list on your henna boxes....if you see anything like PPD or Sodium picramate, take it back for a refund and find some pure henna (or henna with Indian herbs such as amla, shikakai, etc.) PPD and SP are incredibly damaging to the hair and scalp.

What is henna extracted from?
Henna is a plant, Lawsonia inermis, that grows in arid regions of Africa, the middle East, and Asia. When powdered and mixed with water, its leaves make a potent red-orange to maroon dye. Traditionally, many African, Middle-Eastern, and South-Asian cultures used henna to decorate their clothing, their belongings, and their bodies. It was used to decorate rawhide drum heads, for example. When applied to the skin or hair, the dye clings to proteins on the surface, forming a protective shield. Henna has UV protective properties, and is harmless to most people when used in its vegetable state. It is sometimes mixed with chemicals such as Paraphenylendiamine to produce a black color that is atypical of the color produced by natural henna. PPD henna, as it is called, can cause blistering or more serious reactions. Luckily, PPD henna can be easily identified by its acrid smell and purple-black color. 100% vegetable henna smells similar to grass clippings and is green to brown in color.

Is henna used for dying hair the same as henna used for tattoos?
It is not quite the same, if you speak about natural plain henna powder, there`s powder in body art quality and powder for hair. Body art quality henna is made of leaves that were picked from the top of the plant. These were exposed to the sun a lot and therefore contain a lot of the dye molecule that you need for a satisfying colour. Henna for hair is made of leaves and plant parts that don`t contain as much dye molecules. If you dye your skin with that henna the stain won`t be dark. Those henna for hair products that you can buy from beauty suppliers mostly contain a lot of other stuff and little if any henna at all. Most of them even contain chemicals and should not be put on skin.
Can there be any side effects from a henna tattoo?
Yes, never ever get a "black henna" tattoo. The chemical used to make "black henna" (which isn't actually henna at all) is extremely toxic (I believe it's called PPD). Also, traditional henna paste can cause skin reactions such as dermatitis, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. It's also possible to have allergic reactions to the oils and other ingredients used in the paste. It's best to test a small amount on your skin before having a large area worked on.
