Allergic Reaction: Is PPD Really Worth the Risks?

Allergic Reaction to Chemical Hair Dye is On the Rise

Even though most of us have read or heard about the dangers of coloring our hair with hair dye containing the chemical para-phenylenediamine (PPD),

• Are we really listening, learning and heeding the warnings about serious allergic reaction -that grows riskier with each use?
• Or do we figure that 'dying to look good' is worth it?
• Really what kind of ingredient is PPD in most hair dye ‘recipes’?

According to the FDA, American Cancer Society, CDC, NIH, National Cancer Institute and a plethora of other consumer organizations,

PPD in hair dye is known to:

Cause allergic reaction including redness, rashes, sores, burning sensations, itching and headaches.
Be a possible carcinogen after oxidation, linked to increasing the occurrence of various forms of cancer such as: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Multiple myeloma, Breast Cancer, Leukemia, Bladder Cancer.
If that isn’t enough, according to a report (02/2012) from leading chemical company Dupont, the dangers of PPD in hair dye is well-documented.
See Material Safety Data Sheet 130000000233. (10 page pdf.)

So what’s guy or girl to do?
Are there alternative hair coloring dyes that are genuinely all natural that won’t damage our health with allergic reaction?
Can we have great looking hair color without using harmful, deadly chemical dyes?

Can we really have our cake and eat it too? In a word: Yes.
