What causes white/grey hair?

Melanin, a protein pigment in the 2nd layer of hair, decides hair color, and also protects us from UV rays. Deficiency of this causes white/grey hair. Genetics, nutrition deficiency, stress impact melanin levels.

How chemical hair colors work / damage hair?

• Chemical colors remove melanin to color the hair uniformly with synthetic colors. To reach melanin, they lift keratin cells of hair’s protective layer. This process damages the hair. They use ammonia, PPD, hydrogen peroxide to achieve this.
• Some colors claim to be free of those chemicals. But they use a different set of chemicals that work similarly and cause similar damage. Ex: Instead of ammonia, they use ethanolamine. 
• Check for these ingredients: ethanolamine, monoethanolamine, MEA, PTD, toluene-2 5-diamine sulfate, 4-aminoaniline; 1,4-benzenediamine; p-diaminobenzene; 1,4-diaminobenzene; 1,4-phenylene diamine
• “Black henna”  produces black from a chemical called PPD. Check the ingredients. Henna cannot produce black.
• Some brands show irrelevant ingredients on their products to look natural. But they have no practical purpose in coloring hair. Example: Amla, shikakai, hibiscus, aloe vera, almond oil, tea.

How do henna & indigo work?

 Henna makes a permanent bond with keratin cells of hair’s outermost layer without damaging melanin. This makes hair red-orange.

Indigo powder actually releases blue color, which, over the red-orange color of henna, becomes black like natural hair color.
