HOW TO COLOR YOUR HAIR NATURALLY, WITHOUT USING CHEMICALS?

A 2008 study conducted by Clairol, found that 75% of American women dye their hair. The same study revealed that 88% of women feel their hair has some influence on their confidence.

The dangers of chemical products are something that should not be ignored, especially if you frequently visit a salon to color your hair or buy a boxed product and do it yourself. 

There are about 5000 different chemicals used in the hair dyes, most of which have been found to be carcinogenic in animal studies.

Therefore, it is advisable to use natural products to color your hair. In this article, you’ll learn several ways to color your hair naturally, without the need to use chemicals.
