Guide: Natural hair colouring

Natural hair dyes are made from plant pigments and colouring plants such as henna, indigo or cassia. They coat the outer layer of the hair rather than chemically altering its structure. This helps protect the hair while enhancing its shine and strength.

Unlike many conventional hair dyes, plant-based alternatives usually contain no harsh chemicals such as ammonia, peroxide or PPD. They are therefore considered particularly gentle on both the hair and scalp.

Natural hair dyes offer a range of options to suit different colour preferences:

  • Plant-based hair dyes – for example, with henna or indigo, for rich, natural shades
  • Herbal colour blends – for individually tailored shades
  • Natural tints – for a subtle colour refresh
  • Grey coverage with plant-based dyes – for natural-looking results

This allows you to give your hair a new colour while also benefiting from nourishing plant-based ingredients.


Tips for colouring your hair with natural hair dyes

1. Prepare your hair well

Clean, silicone-free hair absorbs plant-based colour pigments more effectively.

2. Allow sufficient processing time

Plant-based hair dyes usually need a little more time to develop their full colour intensity.

3. Expect a natural result

Natural hair dyes gently adjust the hair colour and usually enhance the existing shade.
