Changing gray hair to a color other than pure black is recommended (mustahabb), whereas pure black is forbidden ().
If the color used for dyeing is not pure black, then there is no harm in it. However, if it is pure black, then it is not permissible.
To ascertain the permissibility of dye mixtures, one should consult specialists.
