Can you get hair dyes with out henna in them?
Very few dyes have henna in them. In fact, it is much more difficult to find henna for dying your hair. Pretty much any grocery store, pharmacy, or beauty supply place.
Are there hair dyes that are not chemical but natural?
You can use vegetable dyes to color hair naturally. All of the bright pinks, oranges, greens, blues, purples, reds, etc. that you see people dye their hair are all natural vegetable dyes. Vegetable dyes deposit color on top of, but do not alter the natural color of your hair. You can only darken your hair or change the tone of your hair with vegetable dyes, you can not lighten your hair this way. The "punk" colors are made by brands such as Manic Panic and Special Effects. If you are going for a more natural color, there are a few options. Henna is a red/orange pigment, cassia is a beige/blonde pigment, and indigo is a blue/black pigment. The three can be mixed in different quantities to create a number of very natural looking colors. If you choose to use henna, cassia, or indigo, please be careful. I suggest visiting www.hennaforhair.com for more information, pictures, and for where to buy good henna products. There are a lot of "henna" dyes out there that contain chemical dyes as well as henna, and are not very good for hair. I wish you luck!
How long to keep henna on your hands?
Henna is the best and the safest natural henna to cover your gray hair. It leaves a reddish-orange tint on the hair strands after drying. However, the results depend on the natural color of your hair. Henna gradually fades out over time. It has near-permanent results on gray hair. When you have applied henna more than once, it takes really long time to fade. You have to wait till the hair grows and the color fades out.

Is there hair color that won't damage hair?
Depends what color you are dying your hair. The lighter the more damage. So dying your hair darker with natural instincts brand is your safest bet.
Is it harder to get henna out after you dyed it twice?
Yes, extremely. I dyed mine and didn't like the redness, so I used an indigo to dye it more brown. Then the indigo (for some reason) started to wash out, and I have not yet found a solution for removing all of the henna. It will last up to 9 months, so I recommend going to a hair salon OR using chemicals. Be warned: You HAVE to do a strand test with the chemicals. It may have bad reactions with the henna already in your hair!
Does chemical straightening work on all kinds of hair?
It works on all types of hair but the results will vary according to your hair type. Your hair could look very frizzy or damaged after the chemical straightening if your hair is quite curly. A stronger chemical is used the more curlier your hair is which results in more damage in the end. Rather use a hair straightener whenever you want straight hair and let your curls work for you.
Why does relaxed hair weigh more than curled hair?
It doesn't. Your hair is still YOUR hair curly or straight. It is simply a chemical change.
