Non-henna hair dyes preparations -- including the solvents and other chemicals that are added to henna MIXTURES -- are well known to cause cancer, including at least 20% of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The dyes are allowed to be on the market due to a "grandfather" clause that says since they were on the market before 1938, even though they are lethal they might as well be sold because they've been on the market for so long. It's an idiotic law. Now, for your question. The bad news is that there is NOTHING that will cover gray. The good news is that the lack of DHEA and its precursor pregnenolone (both hormones) MIGHT be implicated in premature aging. I know people who took it and their hair went back to its natural color. I just started taking the two substances myself. My hair was never gray until a very traumatic auto accident, after which my entire body began aging rapidly. My energy is much better and my own chemical sensitivities are lessening. It is believed that pregnelolone is safer to take than DHEA since the latter is synthesized by the body from the former, so the body regulates how much hormone to make. You might try nutritionally supporting your system with other things that it needs too. Graying of hair is symptomatic of premature aging, and I believe that this genetic mistake can be corrected by giving the body what it needs.
