Natural Hair Color in Cleveland 
By: Andrew W John
Which hair color ingredients are the cause of health risks are the center of a long standing debate. The avoidance of potentially harmful ingredients in permanently coloring hair or significantly changing the color can be hard to accomplish. A common ingredient in many permanent dyes for hair is p-phenylenediamine, also referred to as PPD, has been brought into question. Beauty consultant Mary Beth Janssen, who is also wrote Naturally Healthy Hair, has stated that cancer has been linked to PPD as well as the majority of allergic reactions.
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...
Superior to hair dyes that are ammonia-based and void of the displeasurable side effects, Organic Color Systems permanent hair coloring products can only be found in professional hair styling salons. The range of Organic Color Systems' products includes colors, lighteners, concentrates and activators. There is also a hair care line of products that are salon only that can be used in addition to the range of colors for repairing damaged hair. Organic hair color has many benefits. What you don't get are fumes, ammonia, hair damage, burning and itching, banding, brassing, hot roots, sulfates, plastics, parabens, animal products and animal testing. What you do get is just beautiful, healthy hair.
Meanwhile, temporary dyes and highlight treatments should be able to color hair without the need for harsh chemicals. Naturcolor and Vegetel are shorter-lived options that do not contain any damaging chemicals, although their effect will only last a few washes.
Henna is a true, natural dye that is temporary and has a long history that goes back at least to Cleopatra's time. The leaves of Lawsonia, a desert shrub, have been powdered to make henna as a dye for skin and hair for thousands of years. Rainbow Henna is the maker of a wide range of hair products that are 100% organic, providing dyes for just about every color from blonde to black. For those who prefer something of a more traditional style packaging, Light Mountain has application kits of organic henna. Products such as Organic Color Systems, might only be available in salons but many others can be found in your local natural health and beauty supply shops.
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.
