Using hair dyes can dramatically enhance your appearance and personality. Hair dyes are pigments that give color to strands of hair and are available in two kinds -- permanent and semi-permanent. Permanent hair dyes have hydrogen peroxide that causes the color to penetrate into the hair cortex, while semi-permanent hair dyes gives variation to the natural color. Making a semi-permanent natural hair dye at home is safe and effective and works just as well as hair dyes on the market.
