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. The chemicals that are in a many of the dyes and highlighting kits available are too harsh for many people, but there are new products on the market now that promise to work well for them without the resulting health problems, such as allergic reactions. Though still required to work as they should, the less caustic permanent hair colors contain such chemicals as peroxide, diaminobenzene, ammonia and p-Phenylenediamine in amounts that are much smaller Better than any ammonia-based hair color. And without all the unpleasant side effects. The permanent hair color products of Organic Color Systems are only available to professional hair salons. The Organic Color Systems' range consists of colors, concentrates, lighteners and activators plus a range of salon-only hair care products that you can use with the color range to repair damaged hair.

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 are concerned because of the harsh chemicals in the usual hair dyes have more reason than ever to change to the natural options because of recent research. According to a report from the national Cancer Institute released in 1994, dark colored dyes, such as black and dark brown, have been found to elevate the risks of such cancers as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma when used over extended time periods. There was also a study in 2001 done by the International Journal of Cancer that showed that individuals who dyed their hair with permanent hair color were at double the risk of developing bladder cancer as individuals who did not use hair dyes at all.
