QUESTION:  Between henna and hair color, which is the better option? Do either of these affect hair health or promote graying ? Answer  Hair coloring agents are of various  types. Depending on how long they can keep the hair colored, there are temporary. Semi permanent and permanent colors. The temporary hair colors or rises color of the and get washed off on the next shampoo. Semi permanents remain for as long as 8 washes, they can cause contact eczema in those sensitive to them. And may minimally damage the hair. Henna belongs to this group, but because it is a vegetable dye, rarely causes a skin  reaction  Permanent hair dyes penetrate deep into the hair shaft and are not removed, by shampooing the hair. They contain chemicals like Para Phynelene Diamine hydrochloride (PPD), which in some people can cause a contact eczema. To avoid this complication it is necessary to do a patch test (behind your ear or on the forearm) on each application. Dyes do not affect hair health or cause graying. Choosing a dye is a matter of personal preference however henna is a safer option. Henna ands even hair colors don’t cause graying or hair fall, but overuse of permanent dyes may weaken the hair shaft.
