Mother Nature Network – Getting to the Roots of Organic Hair Dye
June 27th, 2010 | Published in Articles | 1 Comment
Jolene Eyre from the Mother Nature Network recently asked the question “Does organic hair dye works as well as conventional hair dye with ammonia?”. Find out what she learned in the video below.
In the United States, most hair dyes do not go through the rigorous safety testing that other cosmetic color additives do before hitting store shelves. Many conventional hair dye formulas contain chemicals like ammonia, which irritates the skin and lungs, and p-Phenylenediamine (PPD), which is linked to problems with the immune and nervous systems, and some studies have connected conventional hair dyes to a variety of diffferent cancers.
With raised awareness of the health concerns related to conventional hair dyes, many women are searching for safer alternatives that still provide shiny, glossy, and long-lasting results. Jolene Eyre interviews Sidney Hollwager, a celebrated stylist who uses organic hair dyes at Salon Vagabond at the Aviary in Atlanta, to get the lowdown on organic hair color options.
