How can I subtly change my hair color?

    Amy asks...
    I'm naturally dirty blonde but want darker hair.  Is there any way I can do this

    without hair dye because I go to catholic school and its not allowed? 

    Is there a way do do it slightly each week a little darker without dye?

    Henna and indigo might be good possibilities for you, which can darken hair gradually. There's a website up at hennaforhair.com that's got lots of information.

    I used to go to catholic school as well -- 12 years of it -- and while we couldn't dye it what they called "unnatural colors," the standard human color palette wasn't off-limits. That's a shame. :-(

    if your hair's naturally quite light then you can go for the lighter version of Henna which is Cassia - that's definitely worth a try. A friend of mine used it on her very white blonde locks and it darkened them only very slightly - her hair became a more golden light blonde.
    You can also do Henna glosses instead of full out Henna dyes - which is mentioned on the hennaforhair.com website that Janis gave you... it'll do like a colour build up rather than dye your hair huge amounts in each go - it'll take about/roughly 3 henna glosses for the hair colour to stick and get darker.
    hope that helped a little :-)
