Natural Dyes for Hair Color -An Option Worth Considering
Using a natural product, such as Lustrous Henna hair dye is very safe and beneficial to your natural hair than a conventional hair dye. Conventional hair dye may completely damage your hair and scalp with prolong use.
Why Avoid Conventional Hair Dyes?
"Conventional dyes contain high level of toxic chemicals that can be absorbed through the scalp, where there is a rich blood supply. Then these chemicals circulate throughout your body, where they can be stored in the tissues and cause adverse health effects," says Marianne Marchese, ND, who practices natural medicine at a Woman's Time Clinic in Portland, Oregon.
A recent hair color study conducted at Yale University found a link between permanent hair dye and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One study for example, suggested that woman over the age of 50 who have used permanent hair dyes for ten or more years have an increased risk of breast cancer. Yet another discovered that users of permanent hair dyes are 2:1 times more likely to have bladder cancer. Other studies have linked the use of hair dyes to allergies and skin disorders like eczema and to far more serious diseases like leukemia and ovarian cancer.
Such study results should not be surprising when one considers the number of toxic ingredients used by both salon and consumer hair color formulas. In one analysis of popular brands and formulations, Consumer Reports found nearly 20 different ingredients that were classified as potential human carcinogens. The suspects included such heavy oncological hitters as coal tar derivatives, para-phenylenediamine (PPD), (which can also cause blindness), bezenediamine dihydrochloride, and aminonline dihydrochloride. Other hazardous ingredients include, ammonia, peroxide and lead, a heavy metal commonly found in products that gradually color hair over time with many repeated applications.
Fortunately, a nontoxic alternative to synthetic hair colorants does exist:
Lustrous Henna® 100% natural hair dye is an innovation in hair color treatment.
Lustrous Henna® is available in many natural shades.
