I am currently experimenting with "Logona Color Cream". It's a 100% botanical semi-permanent dye, free of synthetic colour (including the dreaded PPD), fragrance, preservatives, peroxide and ammonia compounds. It comes ready to use in a tube that you can reseal and use again. You just comb it into dry hair and rinse out after the required time.
The downside is that can take up to 2 hours to develop and you have to wear a rather unattractive plastic cap for the duration (which is provided in the box). However, this works out ok for me as it gives my arms time to recover between combing the product in and rinsing it out. You can accelerate the "cooking time" with heat, but since I cannot hold a hairdryer, I put a woolly hat on top of the plastic cap (as you can imagine, I only dye my hair when I have the house to myself ).
I use the mid-brown colour and it turns my greys a dark blonde, which doesn't look too bad at all. So far, I am quite pleased with it. I like the ease of use, the lack of chemical smell and the fact that it doesn't irritate my scalp like conventional home hair dyes - it's a compromise, not quite the depth of colour as the latter would provide but a big improvement on how my hair was looking beforehand (and no nasty reactions!).
