DEBATE HAS LONG RAGED OVER WHICH HAIR DYE ingredients pose a health risk. If you want a dramatic color change or permanent coverage, avoiding all questionable ingredients is difficult. One of those questionable ingredients is p-phenylenediamine (PPD), found in many permanent hair colors. Mary Beth Janssen, a beauty consultant in Palatine, Ill., and author of Naturally Healthy Hair, says PPD is the cause of most allergic reactions to hair dye and that it has been linked to cancer.

New products with the promise to do what they are supposed to do without the risk of allergic reactions or other health related problems are available to people who find the chemicals in most highlighters and dye too harsh. Diaminobenzene, ammonia, p-Phenylenediamine and peroxide are chemicals that are still needed for the alternative permanent dyes to work but they are present in significantly smaller amounts

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. The benefits of this line of organic hair color are: No ammonia. No fumes. No burn or itch. No damage. No Banding. No Hot Roots. No Brassing. No Plastics. No Sulfates. No Parabens. No Animal Testing. No Animal Products. Just unrivalled color and healthier hair. No ammonia. No fumes. No burn or itch. No damage. No Banding. No Hot Roots. No Brassing. No Plastics. No Sulfates. No Parabens.

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.

One truly natural although temporary dye that has been around since Cleopatra herself is henna. Made from the powdered leaves of a desert shrub called Lawsonia, henna has been used for thousands of years to color hair and skin. Rainbow Henna makes a variety of 100 percent organic hair treatments ranging from blonde to black hair and everything in between. Meanwhile, Organic Color Systems offerss a complete organic line of products and hair coloring packages. While many such treatments are available at natural health and beauty supply retailers, others, such as those of Organic Color Systems, may be available only at salons.

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.
