2. Just Because of the Love of Beards

It's natural if you love and care for your body. Every serious individual will not take their facial hair for granted. After all, having the best beard requires dedication and a set of principles to follow.

Besides using beard oil, beard balms, and regularly combing your hair, you can add beard dye to your Wishlist.

Natural Beard Dye vs Conventional Box Beard Dye

Until recently, conventional box dye was the most popular beard dye. However, a number of people have complained of the severe side-effects it can cause. Conventional box beard dye can be problematic because of the ingredients it is made of.

Some of the potential reasons behind this are because of the ingredient’s ammonia and P-phenylenediamine. PPD can be found on almost all the darker shades of beard dye. This particular ingredient can cause mild dermatitis, anaphylaxis, chemical burn, itching, and swelling in our body.

That said, one of the best alternatives is to use natural beard dye - And what's better than a pack of Henna?

Why Use Henna?

Henna is already a famous ingredient, used to dye hair, skin, and fabric. It is driven from the leaves of the Henna plant, turned into a powder form to make hair dye. Although pure Henna is associated with a vibrant red tone, you can add different natural herbs to make a special shade.

Henna is also recommended for those that suffer from scaly skin and hair sensitivity. Here's a list of the best Henna beard dye products that you can use to change your facial appearance.
