Organic fever reaches the world of hair dye. The natural coloring expert Luis Alfonso, from Swing Organic Hair Salon in New York, gives you the keys to go to the cleanest color. Is for you?

Why change from traditional to organic dyes?

After 15 years working with many chemicals, doing relaxers, perms and bleachers, I got very sick from the chemical fumes that were in the products. Breathing, my eyes … Since I started working with organic dyes my headaches have decreased and my breathing has improved.

Many people think that color does not cover gray hair, it does not last. What do you say to that

The vegetable dyes I use are much better than the chemical ones because the ingredients that the chemicals use make your hair grow in a very straight line and the difference with your natural hair is very noticeable, while the natural ones cover white hair in a very natural, like a soft reflection. For years my clients have said that people tell them that it seems that they have reflections, they are delighted because it closely resembles their natural color.

How often is the app recommended?

As it is safe for health, you can do it every 3 weeks.

Does the tint work better with dark or light shades?

The more gray you have the more you can go to blonde and if you have dark it depends on the percentage of gray you have. It works in any situation.

What is the difference with henna?

It is an old-fashioned formula. Many clients come after having a disaster at home with hena. It is a very red color, contains lead and dries the hair a lot. The technology of organic dyes is very advanced.

Is there much to do yet?

In Europe they are much more advanced in this, there are dyes with saffron, blonde, with essential oils …

What products do you recommend for your clients to use at home between visits to the salon?

I like Deva Curl because it has no sulfates, parabens, or silicones. Not only for the color, for your health. At Whole Foods they have a very wide range of natural hair products.

And the pregnant women?

Yes, in fact, I have many clients who come because these dyes do not have chemicals, they do not have odors, also women who bring their babies here because I do not use more chemicals in other products in the salon.

Are organic treatments more expensive than traditional ones?

Yes, like double the traditional chemical treatment. 50 percent more.
