Can Chemical Hair Dye Ingredients Be Absorbed into Your Skin?

Let me direct you to sources of scientific studies that will enable you to know the facts about chemical ingredients used in most mass-marketed hair dyes.

These studies not only discuss: PPD (para-phenylenediamine), but they also contain vital information regarding: para toluene Diamine (p-toluenediamine or TDA).

The answer to the title question is obvious and you will find it with simple research. Therefore, protect your body from permanent harm by avoiding the accumulative allergen properties found in PPD or immediate skin allergy that is possible with TDA.

Another testimonial about Lustrous Henna ®

Dear Syed~

I am writing this note to let you know that your Henna product worked extremely well on my hair. I am about 60% + silver and was a dark brunette. I tried other henna products, especially for gray hair, but nothing worked. I almost gave up. I refused to use chemical dyes on my hair, because they are not good for your health. Pregnant women are warned not to dye their hair. What a surprise! Anyway, I did more research hoping to find another natural product that would dye my hair without chemicals. I finally found your Henna product and tried it. I was so happy to find that it made my hair dark brown with some of my silver turning a very dark copper when in the sun. The other products couldn't deal with my silver hair the same way. A lot of the hair barely took on a strawberry blonde shade. I needed to have my natural color back.

The henna has lasted 26 days so far without much color fade. I wash my hair every other day, so I would think I would have less fading, but it is wonderful to say the least. Just from experience sake, you must rinse your hair well the first time. I found that I didn't do that well enough so the second and third washing has some residual color in the water, but it wasn't extreme. After that I had no residual color in the water when I rinsed my hair. Also, keep an old towel handy for henna drip during the application and while it is on your head, or it will drip down your neck and back. Again, I couldn't be happier with this henna product. It is worth my effort. It is worth my health.

Sincerely, Stephanie S. Los Angeles, California
