Hair Dye Warnings Heeded
Did you know that a growing number of men and women (including a number of hair stylists) have made an important change in their hair coloring treatments. They’ve gone ‘all-natural’ and no longer use chemical hair dye. They use all natural herbal hair dye -that is free from Para-phenylenediamine (PPD), ammonia, peroxide and many other harmful chemicals. This was not an easy decision, but it was a wise one.
Now, we love our all-natural, PPD-free hair dye. We can still enjoy looking younger using natural herbal products that won’t harm our health.
Hair Dye Warnings Ignored
With the pressure from advertising companies placing emphasis on ‘speedy beauty’, many love the addiction to favorite (chemical) hair colors, even if they’re not a perfect natural match. On the other hand, there are others out there, still not totally convinced and still straddling the fence…and still using chemical hair dye with dangerous Para-phenylenediamine (PPD). Therefore, I’m repeating a few facts about the risks you take every time you use permanent chemical hair dye.
Possible Side Effects According to the FDA, American Cancer Society, CDC, NIH, National Cancer Institute -and a plethora of other consumer organizations
- Cause allergic reactions including redness, rashes, sores, burning sensations, itching and headaches.
- Be a possible carcinogen after oxidation, linked to increasing the occurrence of various forms of cancer such as: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Multiple myeloma, Breast Cancer, Leukemia, Bladder Cancer.
Additionally, a report (08/2007) from leading chemical company DuPont, regarding the dangers of para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in hair dye is well-documented in the Material Safety Data Sheet. (MSDS number: 1155CR) Unfortunately, this document is no longer available online. You must contact DuPont and request it.
