Expand Up @@ -26,15 +26,15 @@ Hair colouring can either be done at home or by a professional in a hair salon.

Hair colour uses a lightening step called "developer" (usually hydrogen peroxide based), followed by one of a variety of dyes. Depending on the type of dye (in particular, the molecular weight), the dye penetrates the hair differing amounts. Dye that penetrates further will result in a longer lasting effect - from lasting a few washes to until the hair grows out.

An alternative to normal hair colour is to use henna. Henna is a natural hair dry extracted from a plant called "lawsonia inermis". It comes as a powder that you mix with water to form a paste, and can be used to stain hair to make it look more red. Henna has the advantage that it is less harsh on hair than many chemical dyes, but the resulting colour can be unpredictable, and it is normally suitable only for brown or black hair {% cite peacock2005hair -l 60 %}. Some henna products blend henna with other natural colours to produce a wider range of colours. You can find some advice about using henna products on [the website of the cosmetics retailer LUSH](https://uk.lush.com/article/how-use-henna).

### How much will it cost?

The typical cost is around £1-10 for home colour and £25-75 for salon colour.

If you decide to maintain the colour, you will need to regularly revisit the salon every few months to add colour to the new hair that has grown from your scalp. This will normally be cheaper than the original appointment for colouring.

You can buy henna for £5-10 from [Holland and Barrett](http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/), [Lush](https://uk.lush.com/), and some branches of large supermarkets.
