What natural dye for men?

Hi guys,
I am greying a little bit, and would like to dye my hair. But having searched the net, I a scared of dyes now!

Is there some safe, natural, non toxic hair dye for men? Where do you get them? Almost all the dye products are aimed for me, except for the 'FOR MEN' range, which seems to be really typical toxic dye.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I know that this isn't what you want to hear, but DON'T DYE IT! Grey hair on men is seriously hot! ;)

    This one is aimed at women, but I guess it would work on a man too? (Not tried it myself, but don't see why not?)

    You are right to avoid some of the well known big brands as they contain some stuff that surely cannot be good for your hair or scalp!

    I don't particularly feel hot with the white hair!
    I don't like going to hairdressers either!

    The mistake most men make, is to dye their hair darker as they get older! Generally us ladies have cottoned on to the fact that your hair and skin tones get lighter (ie fade!!) as you age. It's more flattering to go lighter/blonder as you start getting the odd grey hairs - dark shades can look really "obviously dyed".
    Most dyes are basically chemicals, but the ones used to create dark shades can be more harmful than bleaches!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.
