I know of Lush, don't they use henna to dye hair?

Aaah yeah they do...I'm dark haired so its gone down quite well. Plus my mum had a really bad allergic reaction to chemical dyes so we switched to natural. I know Garnier does test on animals cos its part of l'oreal..the only other one i can think of is body shop and i think maybe this brand called bumble and bumble, my friend uses it. What colour's your hair? And what colour dyu wanna dye it?

And they are henna.

If you have bleached or dyed your hair any light shade then you must not use them. It will turn your hair green (speaking from experience). They can also irritate and are a gradual dye. They won't come out until your hair grows out.

I don't think Garnier test on animals.

At the moment my hairs a dark blonde and I’m wanting to dye my hair a light brown or medium brown shade. I'm a little unsure of using henna to dye my hair because I can be quite senstive to certain products so I don't want to risk having a reaction to it.

Hmm well like what was just said you may not wanna risk it with blonde hair? But if your hair is quite dark blonde then maybe you could try? Do a patch test before putting it on your hair and see if it causes a reaction. My mum's face swelled up to like a balloon when she used the dye that Davina poses for!..but with Henna she's fine, just cold on your head when she puts it on..

I recommend Naturtint, and 'naturtint reflex' which is their non-permanant range. They definitely don't test on animals, it's vegan, is made for sensitive skin apparently, no peroxide or ammonia, blah blah. Here's a stockist from a random google search: http://www.naturesdream.co.uk/naturtint/index.php

Boots

They state 'no animal testing of any kind is undertaken or commissioned by the Boots Company or its subsidiary businesses.' However, they do not have a FCOD, and are prepared to use ingredients that have been tested on animals by others.

Directions seem good, I've never used it, but a vegan friend has and recommends it (and her hair looks ok, and hasn't fallen out or anything!)

They seem good the only problem with them is that their dyes are colours such as blues and purples. I was looking for shades of brown if possible.

Today I happened to be browsing around in Wilkinson’s and I came across hair dyes, without even thinking I saw a colour I quite liked and wanted to test it out but I didn’t think about what brands test on animals. Its only a non-permanent one which washes out within 6-8 shampoos. The only problem is its by Nice ‘n Easy and I did some research and found that they test on animals and I’m totally against using products which have been tested on animals and don’t wish to support them. I just wondered whether anyone can suggest some hair dyes which are available in the United Kingdom which don’t test on animals? I found one range called Daniel Field and his products are Vegan but by the looks of it his products are only available online? Unless anyone knows shops which stock his products?

Directions, Stargazer, and Naturtint are the only ones i know of which are available in shops that are completely animal-friendly. I only use natural henna.. which is available in shades of brown aswell as the usual red.

kookoo... vegetarian means no products that an animal has died for, but may contain things like milk, honey, egg protein etc etc.. i wouldnt use them, but thats the OPs choice.
