Semi-permanent hair dyes also avoid penetrating the hair shaft and usually only last 30 ~40 washings.

Permanent hair dye will cause permanent chemical changes in the hair shaft & will not change color until new hair growth is present. So, are you at risk for cancer if color your hair with any of these methods? That depends on which study you take into consideration. Since hair dyes are applied directly to the scalp, if hair dye does cause cancer this would be a great delivery system. The scalp may carry carcinogenics found in hair color directly into the bloodstream and become concentrated in the bladder. New research has shown that long-term use of permanent dark hair dye may double a person�s risk of certain blood cancers. Dark hair dyes contain a much higher concentration of chemicals than the lighter hair dyes. Studies show that women who used dark permanent hair color for more than 25 years have an increased chance of non-Hodgkin�s lymphoma or bladder cancer. These are people who are more at risk of developing cancer from hair dyes. However, women who used semi-permanent hair dyes or temporary rinses showed no increased risk of cancer.

Are professional hair stylists more at risk for cancer?
In 1991. A study found that hairstylists who handled hair dye for more than five years had tripled the risk of developing breast cancer. Hair dressers mix the chemicals for the hair color that create fumes and repeatedly work with these chemicals more often than most consumers. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), there is evidence to suggest that hair dyes can increase the risk of bladder cancer for hairdressers & barbers. Other studies show that the development of some forms of leukemia, blood cancer, and multiple myeloma can increase with use of hair color. So what safety measures can you take? If you choose to color your hair, find a hair dye that is a chemical-free, odor-free, from herbal or is appropriate for people with sensitivities and allergies. Check to see that the amount of ammonia and PPD content in the dye. It may be difficult to find out if the product you have purchased contains harmful chemicals because they may be listed as code numbers or other names. Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer to see exactly what your hair color may contain.

You will be surprised to learn from reading this study, that more than two thirds of hair dyes currently contain �Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and other related agents. The report also states that Dermatologists are reporting the positive reaction to PPD is increasing. A recent London based survey also confirmed a doubling in allergic reactions to PPD over six in a clinic for adults with contact dermatitis.

But the trend has also been observed in other countries in Europe including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and China where people tend to dye their hair frequently. But the reaction’s aren’t just affecting young adults alone, it also affects older people who spend their time at the hair salon or use home based hair dye products. The allergic reactions have also been noticed in children who are having even more severed reactions to the dye due to their hair follicles not maturing. Dying a child�s hair is never a good idea due to damage it can cause, but more and more children are being seen with dyed hair, especially children in shows or pageants.

The author�s of the study in the British Medical Journal have said that wider debate on the safety and composition of hair dyes is overdue. Cultural, commercial pressures and the desire to stay young looking are causing people to dye their hair and that say the author�s are putting people at the most risk and increasing the burden on health services who have to treat victim�s of the reactions. The British Medical Journal also concluded it may not be easy to reverse these trends. Some patients express a desire to continue using hair dye products even after being advised that they are allergic to them and it could have detrimental effects on their health and body.

First fact is that hair holds all bi-products of the things that go into the body. That is why hair strands are tested for drugs and some other medical conditions. Taking certain medications can cause a reaction with the hair color. Anesthesia from a current surgery can cause a chemical reaction with the dyes in the hair color. Hormonal or thyroid condition can cause a different reaction with the hair dyes. Even your hairdresser, could deny you hair color service under certain medical conditions.

The condition of your hair prior to putting any chemical on your hair can cause a reaction. If you have very hard water, chances are that it would be difficult for certain dyes to penetrate the hair shaft. Hard water hardens on the hair shaft and needs to be removed prior to getting your hair colored, same with chlorine from pools and spas. Iron deposits in the water also seem to affect the out come of certain colors. It would be recommended to try and treat the hair as well with a clarifier that strips the hair of harmful chemicals before coloring.

Hair color is a chemical. Always do a patch test before applying any chemicals to the skin. Many people are allergic to the dyes in hair color. An allergic reaction to hair coloring can be very serious. So, color with caution. Hair color will never lift hair color. If you should dye your hair one color and six weeks down the road you decide to dye your hair another color, you are headed for disaster. Do not fool yourself in believing bleach will lift these hair dyes, it will not. You have to have the special hair color stripper, even if you are going from a light hair color dye to a dark hair color dye. The mix of the two different dyes can cause an undesired effect.

Lastly, if you are using any henna products, sun in or artificial sun lightening products, these usually have metallic dyes in them. There is no way to strip out metallic dyes out of the hair. If regular hair color is applied over a metallic dye, the hair could turn to mush and disintegrate. (Only at O.a, 100% Herbal Hair color do not contains any Metallic dyes or synthetic Chemicals) Always read the label of previous hair chemical applications to determine what if any dyes were in the product. Even some of the men’s hair color products, have metallic dyes in them. Be cautious when applying different chemical treatments on previously treated hair.

That is about all you need to know as far as coloring your own hair at home. Hair dye is hair dye; it is all in knowing how to do the preparation prior to coloring the hair.

Doing the actual hair coloring is pretty basic, as far as the basics. Always read the instructions on the packaging before starting the application and follow its instructions.

Studies have shown that these and other chemicals present in hair dyes show up in your urine 24 hours after you’ve gotten your hair dyed. That means it doesn’t take long for the chemicals to get into your bloodstream and be circulated through your body. Studies have also shown that nickel is carcinogenic to kidneys. Some symptoms of those who have been exposed to high amounts nickel are hypersensitivity reactions, dermatitis, and chronic rhinitis.

Since hair dyes are applied directly to your scalp which is closest to your root, and this is where the blood supply is the richest, you can see how easy it would be for these chemicals to get into your bloodstream.

Think you’re okay because you aren’t experiencing any symptoms? Think again. The reason you may not be experiencing any symptoms is simply that your body hasn’t hit overflow when it comes to the chemicals. All it takes is a few dye jobs and being exposed to any of these chemicals in other ways for you to start experiencing symptoms caused by high toxicity of these chemicals in your body.

So what are your options if you want to dye your hair, but don’t want to chance exposing yourself to high amounts of nickel, chromium and cobalt? Actually there are some good alternatives available. One very good option is to try a 100% Herbal Hair color.

Anything that enters your blood stream, you run the chance of it passing to your baby. The chemicals found in hair dye have never been confirmed to be responsible for any birth defects.

Another concern is breathing in the heavy fumes from the hair dye. These fumes contain chemicals as well. However, whether or not you are pregnant, you should never breathe in fumes from hair dye. If you are dying your hair at home, make sure you have windows open and fans on, be sure to only be in well ventilated areas. If you want to go to a salon, speak to your hairdresser about your worries and see if she will create as well ventilated of an atmosphere for you possible.

Wear gloves when dying your hair at home, whether or not you are pregnant. Although the chemicals in hair dye are not highly toxic, it’s best to wear gloves both for safety, and who wants to stain their skin with dye? A trick to keep dye from seeping into the skin around your hairline is to apply petroleum jelly. This will wash off your skin easy later, and protects your skin during the application and dying process. If you are still cautious about dying your hair, or thinking is too risky for you, go for the 100% pure herbal hair color. They do not have ammonia, peroxide, PPD or any harmful chemicals.

Natural Hair Care: Look Great Without Chemicals

But as time marched on, so did�technology, giving us rapid color results from a laboratory instead of from the plants. By the turn of the 20th century, women could run with glee to the local drugstore for a ready-made color treatment rather than mixing it themselves. Now, in the millennium, we know that convenience was a mistake. Countless international studies have linked hair color to bladder cancer, and some newer findings have included lymphoma and leukemia. The key carcinigen, bendizine, is found most concentrated in the darker shades and anything mixed with red.

Today’s healthy alternatives are plentiful and offer a rainbow of permanent and semi-permanent shades. Our heightened awareness of these products makes them easy to buy online at our store. Times are changing and caustic chemicals are out.

If you would like to see how your hair color rates in toxics, you can go here. After reading the affects of chemical hair color on your body, you will think twice before using it again.

How then can we cover our gray hair or color our hair without these adverse affects to our bodies? After many trials and experimentations, I have finally found the best way to color hair and cover the gray using henna. Henna is a plant that can be used as a hair color. Henna is considered to be a semi-permanent hair color but I have found a way to use it as a permanent hair color.

Unlike the chemical dyes, henna actually conditions and improves hair by coating and sealing the hair shaft. I have found chemical hair dyes to produce unnatural looking hair color, inconsistent results, darker or lighter roots or ends, and damage to my hair with regular use. I have found henna to condition and thicken my hair with natural-looking results. Henna is messier and more time consuming but is definitely worth it. Please note that henna cannot lighten hair, only add color.

After some research and experiments, at Origin Asian, we have found the most effective way to use henna to color hair to cover the gray. Choose the all natural powdered henna.

(BEWARE: Some henna powder selling from stores may have other added chemicals)

Equally troubling regarding the issue of hair dye safety is a study performed at Michigan State University in 1997 which showed that hairdressers have a 2.7 times higher risk of developing cancer of the salivary glands when compared to the average population. Other studies carried out on hairdressers have shown an increased incidence of bladder cancer in stylists who work in the field for over ten years.

If you’re concerned about hair dye safety, what are your alternatives? Adding highlights would also be a safer option since you’re not applying as much of the coloring agent directly to the scalp.

Beware of the �Henna Color hair dyes� found in most stores; they are Compound hennas which mixed with metallic salts and synthetic chemicals. This low grade henna ended up damaging your hair.

Metallic salts interact harshly with permed, relaxed and dyed hair. Which that is also why Hair stylists are �Anti-Henna�. Compound hennas may even contain PPD a carcinogen found in most commercially produced hair dyes.

Pure Henna is the best dye you can possibly use on your hair. Henna bonds with the keratin in the hair and actually strengthens the hair structure. Natural henna doesn’t cause allergic reactions or harm the hair or skin. Henna can be�used to cover gray hair, brighten brown and add a glossy reddish tone.

Important Points to Remember before Dyeing Your hair with Henna
1. Henna may appear a natural reddish-orange color at first. Henna takes about 2 to 3 days to oxidize and darken into its natural color.
2. Wet henna should never come in contact with metal parts. It will turn green. It will turn your hair green. Use wood material instead.
3. Always test first with hair collected from your comb or brush to assure that you mixed the henna correctly to obtain the shade you desire.
4. Always wear gloves while working with henna. Henna is easy but it can be quite messy sometime. Wear gloves. If it gets on your skin, wipe it away immediately. It may take up to three weeks for henna to fade if it stains your skin. Henna that is spilled on surfaces can be wiped clean with detergent.
5. Henna smells earthly. Add essential oils like rose, lavender, violet, etc to the henna to counteract this effect if you want. As the henna oxidizes into its natural color the earthy smell subsides.
6. Gray hair may require a second dyeing for darker color.
7. Henna is a permanent hair color meaning it will last for a few months or up to 26 washings before fading.

Use an old towel and gloves because we are talking about dye and it can dye your clothes as well as your hair. The best thing about dying your hair naturally is that no harsh chemicals are used.

Now we have always known that all the popular commercial brand hair dyes had ammonia and peroxide, and yes, people can have an allergic reaction from these two chemicals, but after reading various articles we discovered that there are several other main ingredients that not only can create severe allergic reactions, but are high risk carcinogens.

The list of ingredients listed like a mad-scientist’s chemical concoction: Quaternium-15, Diethanolamine (DEA), Propylene Glycol, and P-Phenylenediamine (PPD) just to list a few.

It’s the latter�ingredient, PPD that is the one that is the most likely not only to create the allergic reaction but the most dangerous as far as being a high risk carcinogen. Each and every single one of these ingredients is carcinogens that can trigger off anything from bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

For some reason the greatest risk for developing cancer for men or women are those who regularly use the darker shades of hair dye, especially black.

One shouldn’t be fooled either if the hair dye product adds the words “natural” or “herbal” for while they may contain more natural botanical-type ingredients, they will still have the other chemical ingredients, especially P-Phenylenediamine (PPD) in it.

(Only O.a 100% Herbal Hair color products do not contains any of the above chemicals, it is totally natural from botanicals.)

What then is a safer alternative? One thing you may explore is to go the total henna or 100% natural, using pure herbal hair color to dye your grey hair. So if you are concerned with the safety factor of the familiar chemical hair dye products, either due to the severe allergic reactions one may develop by using them or of their potential for causing cancer due to the carcinogenic ingredients, one may opt for going the totally henna or 100% botanical method.
