Hair colours for men give natural black and brown shades (burgundy too in some cases) to the hair and do so without causing harm to environment and us.

In the olden times, people either didn't bother about their grey hair or used natural ingredients to colour them. There have been reports that ancient Indians used Saffron, Turmeric, Kamala tree extracts and Haritaki among other plant-based extracts to colour their hair. It is believed that the use of Henna or Mehendi was introduced into India by the Mughals. However, in modern times, chemical colours have become very popular. The practice of using herbal colours too continues in India. In more recent times, a number of brands have come that promise to bring a new twist to traditional hair colours, which is why one sees brands that advertise for hair colour using a mix of two different colours - Henna (orange) and Indigo (blue). The two combine to give a black-brown shade.

While herbal colours are obviously much better as compared to chemical colours, what can't be denied is that the shades and texture of hair looks better with chemical colours. However, given how harmful the latter have proven to be to the environment and peoples' health, companies are trying to come up with chemical colours that don't harm as much. Hence, the advent of ammonia-free colours. There are a number of products in the market from leading beauty brands. We have curated a list of such products, especially targetted towards men. Take a look.
