Which hair color ingredients are the cause of health risks are the center of a long standing debate. The avoidance of potentially harmful ingredients in permanently coloring hair or significantly changing the color can be hard to accomplish. A common ingredient in many permanent dyes for hair is p-phenylenediamine, also referred to as PPD, has been brought into question. Beauty consultant Mary Beth Janssen, who is also wrote Naturally Healthy Hair, has stated that cancer has been linked to PPD as well as the majority of allergic reactions.
New products with the promise to do what they are supposed to do without the risk of allergic reactions or other health related problems are available to people who find the chemicals in most highlighters and dye too harsh. Diaminobenzene, ammonia, p-Phenylenediamine and peroxide are chemicals that are still needed for the alternative permanent dyes to work but they are present in significantly smaller amounts
Organic Color Systems has permanent hair dyes and other products that are better than any of the ammonia containing hair dyes on the market. This line of products, which is devoid of displeasing side effects, is only available in professional styling salons. In addition to hair colors, Organic Color Systems' line of products includes activators, lighteners and concentrates, as well as hair care products that are available only in salons that can be used to repair damage to hair that are compatible with the hair colors. A great advantage to using Organic Color Systems products is that you get healthy, gorgeous hair without damage, ammonia fumes, burning or itching, hot roots, brassing, banding, plastics, sulfates, parabens, animal testing or animal products.
Hair dyes and highlighting treatments don't really need those chemicals that are harsh to work. For color that is short term, Vegetel and Naturcolor are good options that will not damage the hair and will last just a few washings.
One truly natural although temporary dye that has been around since Cleopatra herself is henna. Made from the powdered leaves of a desert shrub called Lawsonia, henna has been used for thousands of years to color hair and skin. Rainbow Henna makes a variety of 100 percent organic hair treatments ranging from blonde to black hair and everything in between. Meanwhile, Organic Color Systems offerss a complete organic line of products and hair coloring packages. While many such treatments are available at natural health and beauty supply retailers, others, such as those of Organic Color Systems, may be available only at salons.
People who are concerned because of the harsh chemicals in the usual hair dyes have more reason than ever to change to the natural options because of recent research. According to a report from the national Cancer Institute released in 1994, dark colored dyes, such as black and dark brown, have been found to elevate the risks of such cancers as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma when used over extended time periods. There was also a study in 2001 done by the International Journal of Cancer that showed that individuals who dyed their hair with permanent hair color were at double the risk of developing bladder cancer as individuals who did not use hair dyes at all. - 15255
