Hair Dye does NOT have to be toxic!

It's no secret that conventional Hair Coloring Products contain  toxic ingredients.  This is the reason I have made the conscious decision to permanently switch to natural henna.  It has made my hair very healthy and manageable in addition to using Organic Hair care products and I am 100% pleased with the present state of my hair. As a consumer, it is best  to familiarize yourself with ingredients banned by the European Commission, and check the label of your present Hair Coloring products just to make sure you aren't putting any of the following toxic ingredients onto  your hair.

6-Methoxy-2,3-Pyridinediamine
2,3-Naphthalenediol
2,4-Diaminodiphenylamine
2,6-Bis(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-Pyridinediamine
2-Methoxymethyl-p-Aminophenol
4,5-Diamino-1-Methylpyrazole
4,5-Diamino-1-((4-Chlorophenyl)Methyl)-1H-Pyrazole Sulfate
4-Chloro-2-Aminophenol
4-Hydroxyindole
4-Methoxytoluene-2,5-Diamine
5-Amino-4-Fluoro-2-Methylphenol Sulfate
N,N-Diethyl-m-Aminophenol
N,N-Dimethyl-2,6-Pyridinediamine
N-Cyclopentyl-m-Aminophenol
N-(2-Methoxyethyl)-p-phenylenediamine
2,4-Diamino-5-methylphenetol
1,7-Naphthalenediol
3,4-Diaminobenzoic acid
2-Aminomethyl-p-aminophenol
Solvent Red 1 (CI 12150)
Acid Orange 24 (CI 20170
