Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 I wouldn;t say any of it is safe - but there are ones you can buy over here from the health shop that done contain certain nasties - cannot remember offhand which ones they are. Sorry I am not much help - I don't use them.

Thanks for your > help....Jean > Punks, Goths, and Ravers use colorants rather than dyes (I do too). No peroxide bleaches & no ammonia. Not as permanent, and does not bleach the hair first, so you may need a pre-bleaching (which is always nasty stuff!). I have been using colorants for over a decade. I doubt if one can get a " natural " color using these colarants. Mostly people use it to look bright & punky. The brand I find best & longest lasting is Special Effects.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Hi there! Even the dyes in the health food stores contain nasties, I agree. I've even questioned a " benzene-compound " in one dye to the store manager. There is a dye my hairstylist was using, which used some sort of " fermentation process " , he called it a " mash " , which allowed penetration of dye to hair follicle. So, the product is out there, but available to professionals only. I've tried Internet searches, can't find the products. Maybe best just to go natural, as hennas are only temporary, and safe products are hard to get.

I have used henna in the past and it lasted forever. I think I had to grow it out... Maybe my memory is porous (where is that ginkgo when I need it??:-) or maybe it just took a very long time to wash out. The colorless henna is a very nice product too to beautify hair. :-) Gabriela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
