Natural Hair Dye--Naturtint

I've tried using different kinds of natural hair dye, the ones that don't contain ammonia and other harsh chemicals. Frankly I've been kind of underwhelmed by the amount of time it takes to process and the less that startling results. I'm usually going for something slightly darker than my natural brown hair and to cover the few grey hairs that have begun showing themselves. But what I usually get is something that doesn't look all that different from where I started 4-6 hours ago (!) and often the grey is still visible.

That is until I tried Naturtint. Now granted, I really went dark this time, given my previously less-than-striking results. And so it's possible that I could've had better results had I gone with a darker color in my earlier trials. However, even giving the other henna and natural treatments the benefit of the doubt, Naturtint has a wonderfully short processing time of around 30 minutes. So, if you've been looking for a safer alternative to home hair color and you've been less than thrilled with the results, try Naturtint.

Here are my before and after shots to give you an idea.


I used 3N, which was not the blackest color they had on the shelf at Cambridge Naturals (a natural health store in Porter Square), but perhaps the second darkest.



Like I said, I was tired of not getting a noticeable change. I CANNOT say that this time!
