Teen Hair Dye Done Naturally Reveals the Real You

Natural Teen Hair Dye for the Real You
‘Let’s Me be Me’

3 reasons to reveal the real me with a natural teen hair dye:

I want to be myself and dying my hair makes me feel like an individual.
I want to make my own personal style statement.
My friends are dying their hair with risky chemicals, but I prefer to be safe and still look amazing.

Instead of going the “permanent chemical color” route, bringing out your own natural highlights reveal natural beauty. Your own highlights not only make your best style statement –they'll make you look alluring. The good news is that you don’t have to take a chance with your health either –if you go natural. Using an all-natural plant-based hair color dye in a variety of shade choices will help you reveal the real you, with a personal style you will be proud to rock.

Natural Teen Hair Dye for the Real You
Keeps You Healthy

The report below focuses on serious allergies and other health dangers that can occur with increased use of permanent chemical hair dyes.

“Allergic reactions to hair dyes are increasing as more and younger people dye their hair warn researchers. This can lead to dermatitis on the face and, in severe cases, facial swelling may occur. More than two thirds of hair dyes currently contain para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and other related agents. During the 20th century, allergic reactions to PPD became such a serious problem that it was banned from hair dyes in Germany, France, and Sweden.

Market research also indicates that more people are dying their hair and are doing so at a younger age… severe hair dye reactions among children have also recently been reported. ‘Wider debate on the safety and composition of hair dyes is overdue’, say the authors. Cultural and commercial pressures to dye hair are putting people at risk and increasing the burden on health services.

It may not be easy to reverse these trends, however, as some patients have continued to use such dyes even when advised that they are allergic to them and risk severe reactions, they conclude.”¹

Severe Allergic Reaction to Children from Adulterated Henna Use

Children’s Severe Allergic Reaction from Adulterated Henna
-a serious concern

The following world reports warn against temporary black henna tattoos and adulterated henna hair dye for children. Children’s severe allergic reaction is well documented and should be given serious attention. However, adults should also heed the warnings about these dangerous products, since many adults have suffered from severe allergic reaction to adulterated henna (black henna).

Great Britain

There's been a sharp rise in children suffering from allergic reactions - so what's to blame?
To everything from coins, to henna, to hair dye

“For one in five of the population, we inhabit a toxic world. These are the people with "skin sensitivity" – who suffer allergic reactions to products ranging from perfume to nickel coins and hair dye. Their number runs into the millions.

But allergies do not stay the same. They shift along with changes in behaviour and patterns of consumption. The craze for coloured hair among children had dermatologists warning last week of a sharp rise in allergies to hair dye among them.

After metals and fragrances, the commonest reaction was to para-phenylenediamine (PPD), a constituent of hair dye, which is also a found in high concentrations in black henna tattoos. Even one exposure to PPD can sensitise a child and cause an allergic response on further use of a hair dye containing it. A study presented at the British Association of Dermatologists annual meeting in Manchester found that 16 per cent of children were affected, twice the proportion a decade ago.” | …read more.

Henna Tattoo Warning

“Jo Boutflower, head of business and consumer services at North Yorkshire council, said: ‘We’re urging people to act with extreme caution before having a temporary tattoo or allowing their children to have one. We’d also encourage people to report any allergic reactions to hair dyes or cosmetic products to the manufacturers so they are aware of the scale of any problems.’ ” | …read more.

Bali

“After doing some research Ms. Cooper found that skin reactions to black henna were commonplace. ‘I can’t understand how there aren’t warnings put out for travellers heading to countries where it is commonly used on tourists,’ she said. She said it was important people understood the difference between traditional henna and black henna.

Traditional henna is a reddish-brown colouring made from a flowering plant. It has been used since the Bronze Age, ground into a paste, to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather, silk and wool. But today black henna is often used in its place. The danger in black henna is due to an ingredient used in it which is essentially hair dye containing p-phenylenediamine (PPD) which often causes dangerous skin reactions and is outlawed in most western countries in products applied directly to the skin.

‘It’s not as simple as going to your GP and getting a cream to fix it,” Ms. Cooper said.

“We have tried every topical cream and nothing has worked. We now have to take Ben to a dermatologist.’ ” | …read more.

Chemical Hair Dye on Your Child’s Hair -Is There a Better Way?

Chemical Hair Dye for Children and Pre-Teens: A Serious Concern

Nowadays, there is a growing trend of dying children’s hair and using harsh chemical dyes to do so. Most parents know that children want to follow the trends of their peers.

Whether you decide for or against using permanent hair dye, it’s wise to heed the warnings from dermatologists, health organizations and governmental agencies -for the sake of your children and their healthy growth.

Parents, please take heed to the following warning:

Chemical Hair Dye Use Can Cause Severe Allergy

According to numerous dermatological and other medical reports hair dye allergy is on the rise. An article in the British Medical Journal* reported that in Japan, Denmark and USA, hair color use has increased among male and female youth. “Severe hair dye reactions among children have recently been reported.”

According to the FDA, adults using chemical hair dyes have suffered serious problems such as: hair loss, burning, redness, itchy or raw skin, swelling in the face, trouble breathing, permanent scarring and more.

There also have been several young dermatological patients that have suffered terrible skin reactions from chemical hair color dyes containing harsh ingredients such as Para-Phenylenediamine (PPD), coal tar, peroxide, ammonia and much more. There are also studies that link prolonged use of such dyes to cancer.

In a nutshell: Permanent and most semi-permanent hair dye contains harsh chemical ingredients such as para-phenylenediamine (PPD), coal tar, peroxide, ammonia and much more -that have been medically proven to cause adverse damage to an adult scalp and hair shaft. The potential for damage to the developing skin and hair shaft of a young, preteen or teen is even greater.

I’m a Concerned Parent
Is there an alternative to chemical hair dye?

If you're still determined to dye preteen or teen hair: Keep it natural. Use a proven safe and all natural (lab certified) hair coloring that coats the hair and does not penetrate the hair shaft. I recommend Lustrous Henna^® hair color. It’s a plant-based hair dye and is highly recommended by many dermatologists. Its ingredients have been used since ancient times to enhance hair color and for radiant natural highlights.

Following harmless fashion and style trends can bring joy and lots of fun. However, using harmful and dangerous substances to follow a trend isn’t wise and the consequences won’t be joyful at all. Parents, do you agree? I sincerely hope so.

Teen Hair Dye

The vast arrays of hair colors that attract today’s modern teen add interest to your personal style. Teen hair dye goes from platinum blonde to blue-black to purple to silver gray…there appears to be no end to your imagination! It’s all about making your own hair statement. Therefore, I want to share a couple of things with you that will help you think about how to make your hair statement with teen hair dye.

Instead of going the “permanent hair dye” route, have you thought about just bringing out your own natural highlights? That’s right. Using a natural hair dye to bring out your own highlights can help you make your best style statement. The good news is that you don’t have to take a chance with your health either –if you go natural. Using an all-natural plant-based hair color dye in a variety of shade choices will help you create a personal style you will be proud to rock.

Please read the report below and think of the potentially serious allergies and other consequences that can occur with increased use of permanent chemical teen hair dye.

Teen Hair Dye -Why You Need Lustrous Henna^®

Did you know that regular use of chemical hair dye could be quite risky?

“Allergic reactions to hair dye are increasing as more and younger people dye their hair, warn researchers.

This can lead to dermatitis on the face and, in severe cases, facial swelling may occur.

More than two thirds of hair dyes currently contain para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and other related agents. During the 20th century, allergic reactions to PPD became such a serious problem that it was banned from hair dyes in Germany, France, and Sweden.

Market research also indicates that more people are dying their hair and are doing so at a younger age… Severe hair dye reactions among children have also recently been reported.

‘Wider debate on the safety and composition of hair dyes is overdue’, say the authors. Cultural and commercial pressures to dye hair are putting people at risk and increasing the burden on health services.

It may not be easy to reverse these trends, however, as some patients have continued to use such dyes even when advised that they are allergic to them and risk severe reactions, they conclude.”

I’m writing this, speaking from my own experience. After years of using semi-permanent chemical hair dye, I was surprised to develop an allergic reaction at the base of my neck. I’m so glad that I found Lustrous Henna Hair Color^®. I learned the following:

Why risk my health when who I REALLY want be is ME? Naturally.

Trending Health Alert -Hair Dye for Children and Teens

Trending Health Alert:
Chemical Hair Dye Potentially Harmful for Children and Teens

This warning bears repeating over and over again. Permanent and most semi-permanent dyes contain harmful chemicals that have been proven to cause adverse damage to an adult scalp and hair shaft. Obviously, the potential for damage is even more severe to the developing skin and hair shaft of a young, preteen child!

According to numerous dermatological and other medical reports hair dye allergy is on the rise. An article in the British Medical Journal¹reported that in Japan, Denmark and USA, hair color use has increased among male and female youth. “Severe hair dye reactions among children have recently been reported.”^2,3

Trending Health Alert:
FDA and WebMD -Hair Dye Use Can Cause Severe Allergy

According to the FDA, adults using chemical hair dyes have suffered serious problems such as: hair loss, burning, redness, itchy or raw skin, swelling in the face, trouble breathing, permanent scarring and more.

WebMD states the following information for adult women:

“The decision to change your hair color may be a hard one. Some studies have linked hair dyes with a higher risk of certain cancers, while other studies have not found this link. Most hair dyes also don't have to go through safety testing that other cosmetic color additives do before hitting store shelves. Women are often on their own trying to figure out whether hair dyes are safe.

When hair dyes first came out, the main ingredient in coal-tar hair dye caused allergic reactions in some people. Most hair dyes are now made from petroleum sources. But FDA still considers them to be coal-tar dyes. This is because they have some of the same compounds found in these older dyes.”¹

Hair Dye Chemical- Toulenediamine. How Safe?

Hair Dye Chemical Question: Toulenediamine, What is It?

“Toluene-2,5-Diamine and Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate are used as ingredients in the formulation of permanent hair dyes, colors and tints. Toluene-3,4-Diamine may also be used in hair dye products.” (1) This permanent hair color chemical has also been called para-toluenediamine (PTD) or p-toluenediamine.

How Safe is P-Toluenediamine in Permanent Hair Color Dye?

It depends on whose hair color research (or lack of it) you choose to rely on. Natural hair color safety should be paramount in your choice of hair coloring dye.

The “Experts” Say:

After extensive scientific research, the European Commission (Health and Consumer Safety) concluded that the use of toluene-2,5-diamine cannot be considered safe for hair coloring or hair shaft . The National Allergy Research Centre in Denmark concluded that hair color dye users need more protection and a ‘preventative strategy’ to reduce cases of severe allergic contact dermatitis.

Scientific Committee on Consumer Products Conclusion on Toluene-2,5-diamine in Hair Coloring: UNSAFE

“The SCCP is of the opinion that the use of toluene-2,5-diamine cannot be considered safe based on the available data. This conclusion may be re-evaluated if human toxicokinetic data were to become available in which dosages used more closely approximate the intended use of the substance.

· Toluene-2,5-diamine is an extremely potent skin sensitizer.

· Clarification must be given on the myocyte degeneration in the dose range finding study of the 90 day study.

· Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate itself has no mutagenic potential in vivo.

However, studies on genotoxicity/mutagenicity in finished hair dye formulations should be undertaken following the relevant SCCNFP/SCCP opinions and in accordance with its Notes of Guidance.” (2)

National Allergy Research Centre Abstract on Toluene-2,5-diamine in Hair Coloring : UNSAFE

“Colouring of hair can cause severe allergic contact dermatitis. The most frequently reported hair dye allergens are p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and toluene-2,5-diamine, which are included in, respectively, the patch test standard series and the hairdressers series. The aim of the present study was to identify dye precursors and couplers in hair dyeing products causing clinical hair dye dermatitis and to compare the data with the contents of these compounds in a randomly selected set of similar products… Hair dye allergy may cause severe clinical reactions, and the current regulation is insufficient in protection of the users. A preventive strategy is needed.” (3)

USA Expert Panel Opinion on Toluene-2,5-diamine in Hair Coloring : SAFE

On the opposite side of the dilemma is the conclusion on use of these permanent hair color ingredients by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. They state that Toluene-2,5-Diamine and Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate are safe for use as ingredients in permanent hair dyes :

“The safety of Toluene-2,5-Diamine, Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate and Toluene-3,4-Diamine in hair dyes has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. The CIR Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that Toluene-2,5-Diamine and Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate were safe for use as hair dye ingredients . The CIR Expert Panel concluded that the data were insufficient to assess the safety of Toluene-3,4-Diamine as an ingredient in hair dyes . (1)

A Serious Word of Caution

Before deciding to continue using chemical hair color dyes, let’s learn more about the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel and who they work for - from their own website:

“Cosmeticsinfo.org is an information Web site that includes factual, scientific information on ingredients most commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products in the United States. The Personal Care Products Council (the Council) and its member companies sponsor this Web site to provide consumers with easily accessible comprehensive safety information on cosmetics and personal care products and to help consumers make informed purchases.” (1)

Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), Cosmeticinfo.org Web site Sponsor:

"Based in Washington, D.C., the Council is the trade association representing the cosmetic, toiletry and fragrance industry in the United States and globally. Founded in 1894, the Council has a membership of more than 600 companies including manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of the vast majority of finished personal care products marketed in the United States ." (1) (italics ours)

This Council actually represents the manufacturers who actively promote the use of chemicals like para-toluenediamine (PTD) or p-toluenediamine in their hair color products.

Therefore, even though the Council provides extremely valuable information on other topics, how can this expert conclusion on this particular issue be deemed as totally accurate? Reported ‘facts’ can be confusing and at times, overwhelming. However, as consumers, it is wise to take extra precautions to be safe and protect our hair color.

Only you can decide whom you will listen to.

Natural Hair Highlighted by Chemical Process is Not Safe

Natural Hair -A Better Way to Highlight

Avoid chemical processing altogether and protect your natural hair. There is an alternative, 100% natural and proven hair treatment that will color and highlight your natural hair in beautiful lustrous shades.

Lustrous Henna® has been used happily by many former sufferers of chemical hair dye and PPD allergic reaction. It is a plant-based herbal hair color dye and is completely PPD-free, peroxide-free and ammonia-free.

Avoid skin irritation. Learn about Lustrous Henna® ingredients .

Lustrous Henna ® will help you become an all-natural beauty with radiant highlights!

About Highlighting by Chemical Processing of Natural Hair

“Hair highlighting/lowlighting refers to changing a person's hair color, using lightener or hair color to color strands of natural hair in varying sizes. There are four basic types of highlights: foil highlights, hair painting, frosting, and chunking. Highlights can be done in natural or unnatural hair color. Hair lightened with bleach is considered permanent.”

Using chemical process to achieve this effect is unsafe and dangerous to natural hair color. It can also cause skin irritation and other adverse effects.

Basic foil highlighting

“Foil highlighting is the process of using foil to separate strands of hair which will be lightened from strands of hair which will remain its natural color.^[1]The process is done by applying lightener to the hair that has been woven and separated using an applicator brush. The foil is then folded as to protect the hair and surrounding area during the "processing" time. This is the amount of time required to achieve the desired results. In highlighting hair hydrogen peroxide mixed with pigment is used to change the color of the strand.^[2] This process is also used in applying "lowlights" to the hair. In this process, hair dyes are used to create strands of hair that are darker than the natural hair color. The foils are often used to separate hair strands for high and low lights during the same process.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

Hair painting

“Hair painting is a method of highlighting natural hair color that may be done at home. Hair painting methods are often permanent and employ a simple hair-painting brush. Hair painting is also used with temporary and semi-permanent types of brushes. While brushes are commonly used in hair painting, one may also use combs to paint or highlight thin-sized strands of hair. Balayage is a technique referring to free-form painting on clean, styled hair. The results are subtle and more natural looking than foiling or chunking.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

Frosting

“Frosting refers to the process of free-hand lightening the tips of the hair, and is generally performed on men with short hair.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

Chunking

“Chunking refers to a style of highlight which is larger and thicker than a traditional highlight, rather than to a method of creating highlights.^[3] Chunky highlights are generally offered in a wider variety of bold natural colors, as well as a large number of artificial, or unnatural hair color, used to create more contrast, rather than subtle texture, as in traditional, thinner highlights.” (PPD allergy, chemical compounds alert, skin irritation alert**)

According to leading dermatologists, more variety of colors mean more chemical compounds* that are potentially dangerous to the hair and hair shaft.

*Italics ours. ** Most synthetic and many so-called "natural" hair dyes contain PPD (para-phenylenediamine, a dangerous chemical contained in numerous hair dye products.) It has been banned in Europe.

I'm a 54 yrs. old"natural" brunette and LOVE Lustrous Henna and their wonderful customer service with Syed.

A few months ago I was diagnosed with Lymphoma at Mayo Clinic with follow up 3 mos. visits to a Hematologist, blood specialist there. I then began to think about changing some of my lifestyle habits and a NATURAL Hair Color was an easy one to change. I am not on chemo since my Dr. says my own immune system is trying to fight this cancer. Chemo kills the good & the bad, therefore I'm thankful I do still have my hair at this time.

My friend introduced me to Lustrous Henna when I complemented her hair. I didn't even know she used any type of color on it, because it looked so natural. She ordered my first time with her order,to try it out. So I have twice now, due to shorter hair.So glad I heard about this henna from her!

I am thankful for the Lustrous Henna's shorter process time compared to others that require an extremely longer process and it leaves my hair in much, much better condition than when I did salon color.

My single priority, due to my health issue,is that it's safe, plus it looks and feels so natural and healthy. I can't say enough good about it.

It was my pleasure to visit with Syed a few days ago about Lustrous Henna.His patience and very informative manner is so helpful and refreshing.He is an asset to Lustrous Henna products. He helped me a great deal with tips on how to tone the gray as it grows in from my root line.

I sincerely thank you, Syed and Lustrous Henna for the difference you have made in my life.

I'll be ordering again soon.

Warmest Regards,
Twyla R., Greene IA
