Organic Hair Color in Westlake

DEBATE HAS LONG RAGED OVER WHICH HAIR DYE ingredients pose a health risk. If you want a dramatic color change or permanent coverage, avoiding all questionable ingredients is difficult. One of those questionable ingredients is p-phenylenediamine (PPD), found in many permanent hair colors. Mary Beth Janssen, a beauty consultant in Palatine, Ill., and author of Naturally Healthy Hair, says PPD is the cause of most allergic reactions to hair dye and that it has been linked to cancer.

For those who want to color their hair but find the chemicals in widely available dyes and highlighting treatments too harsh, a new crop of products promises to do the trick without causing allergic reactions or other health problems. While green-friendly permanent hair dyes still require some of these chemicals–such as ammonia, peroxide, p-Phenylenediamine or diaminobenzene in order to be effective, alternatives do exist that contain smaller amounts…

Better than any ammonia-based hair color. And without all the unpleasant side effects. The permanent hair color products of Organic Color Systems are only available to professional hair salons. The Organic Color Systems' range consists of colors, concentrates, lighteners and activators plus a range of salon-only hair care products that you can use with the color range to repair damaged hair. The benefits of this line of organic hair color are: No ammonia. No fumes. No burn or itch. No damage. No Banding. No Hot Roots. No Brassing. No Plastics. No Sulfates. No Parabens. No Animal Testing.

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 were looking for a good reason to stop using their usual hair dyes in favor of milder natural choices now have that reason due to the release of recent studies. In 1994, the National Cancer Institute released a report that has shown there is higher risk of cancers like non-Hodgkins lymphoma and multiple myeloma from the use of the darker range of hair dyes, such as dark brown or black over long periods of time. The International Journal of Cancer conducted a study in 2001 that found twice the incidences of bladder cancer in people who used permanent hair dye than in people who used no hair dyes at all.
