So get it out of your mind that chemicals aren't safe just because they're chemicals. There are, however, harsh and potentially toxic chemicals in some beauty products, and while there has been growing momentum in the industry to remove or minimize these ingredients, hair dye is one of the worst offenders when it comes to including some pretty shady and unnecessary chemicals.
If you still prefer natural ingredients regardless of unproven safety benefits, you may want to look to a trusted brand like Aveda , which promises a mostly natural hair color formula.
Keep in mind that even a brand so committed to natural formulas must rely on some synthetic ingredients in order for the hair color used in its salons to work. These are the ingredients that create hair color via the oxidation process. Although you may not be able to color your hair with a natural or organic formula, you can make conscious choices when it comes to the treatment of animals and the use of animal-derived ingredients.
Manic Panic , which recently celebrated 40 years of making wild hair colors used in both homes and salons, has been cruelty-free for so long that they've actually trademarked the motto, "Tested on celebrities, not animals. Madison Reed is also cruelty-free, boasting certification by Leaping Bunny , which "is an international stamp of approval that recognizes no animal testing is used or commissioned in any phase of product development by our company, its labs or ingredient suppliers," Smith explains.
Indie cosmetics brand Lime Crime also has the Leaping Bunny seal of approval, and they have a popular collection of fantasy hair colors called Unicorn Hair that can be applied at home. Want to make Mother Nature especially happy? Pay attention to the packaging to make sure it's earth-friendly. And when you order directly from Manic Panic's website , it will be packed with biodegradable peanuts.
Ultimately, the dream of organic hair dye is just that — a dream. But that doesn't mean you can't use your head when deciding what kind of hair color to put on top of it. Oh my gosh, that is such a sore spot for us.

We really appreciate your readership and support. I use henna and love it!!! It makes my grey look like a natural highlight and leaves my hair shiny and thick!! I know you talk about henna , and supplements, but are there any other hair dyes you could recommend? Besides hair print? Hi Aspen! Gosh that is such a bummer. I used OWAY for about a year after I stopped using HairPrint and before I stopped dying my hair all together so that was my personal choice of a brand to use.
Many salons carry it. Every hair stylist is cringing. There is no such thing as completely chemical free hair color. Enough with this hipster bullshit. Lisa Fennessy. Ugh…so sorry! Sometimes if you pull down on your mobile screen to refresh the page, the opt-in will close. You can also try accessing it from desktop. Sorry for the trouble! Hi Lisa, thanks for the article. Some people say henna has heavy metals etc. Would appreciate your view regarding safety of henna.
Thank you. Hi Arreeya! I would say right off the bat, henna is a better option than traditional hair dye. Or even if some brands test for heavy metals? Hope this helps! Hi Lisa, really good information. What is your opinion about Aveda hair color in a salon? It also claims to be organic. Thanks, Silvia x. Hi Silvia!
Thanks for reading! There has been no new hair color technology invented over the past century. So all hair dyes are working because of these actives. There are concerns listed in the post for all of these ingredients. So then the question becomes, well, which brand uses the least percent of these active ingredients? Although I would love to know the answer to this question too. Hi Sarah!
If you are looking for a salon formula, check out OWAY. If you are looking for an at home solution, check out Hairprint here are my before and afters and Radico ….
