Scalp Damage Causes
Permanent hair color dye products containing para-phenylenediamene (PPD), combinations of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, as well as other chemical ingredients have proven to be extremely harmful to one’s health; especially through overuse. Unfortunately, synthetic hair dye has caused major scalp damage, resulting in hair loss.
Why Hair Loss?
Why can hair loss occur after using permanent hair dyes? Permanent hair dye penetrates the cuticle of the hair, damaging it. The hair is exposed to hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, causing overlapping of cuticular seates to lift from the hair cortex, thereby leading to rapid loss of amino acid. By removing the proteins that build the structural strength, the hair shaft is weakened. The chemical damage results in an easily fractured hair shaft and eventual hair loss.
Problems associated with chemical hair dyes:
- Hair shaft damage produces dull, brittle, unmanageable hair; cosmetically unacceptable.
- Scalp damage from chemical hair dyes can be permanent.
- Irreversible damage to the protein structure and fracture of the hair shaft.
- Epidermal type of melasma on the forehead and neck; black circle around the eyes due to sun sensitization of the skin.
A Hair Loss Tragedy with a Happy Ending
Dear Saba Botanical, I have been using regular hair dyes containing PPD for years and never had a problem, then all of a sudden I had a severe allergic reaction. I had spent several months recovering from this in and out of hospitals, on steroids, antibiotics and IV medications.
As a result from this reaction I have lost most of my beautiful black thick hair due to scar tissue left behind.
After months of my awful ordeal, being a middle aged women I began to see gray hair but knew I could never ever use hair dye again and wasn't sure what to do. I ended up trying every kind of hair dye I could find not containing PPD. Unfortunately, nothing was covering my grays but instead always grabbing a light red tint on my black hair.
Hallelujah! I was just about to give up after trying so many different products on- line and I found your web site containing Lustrous Henna hair color. I only ordered one pack at the time not with high expectations but tried it out and it worked! My grays were covered and my black hair thicker and had a beautiful shine to it.
To all the women and men allergic to hair dye and want an all-natural healthy product for your hair - Looking for a solution, Please Trust Me, Lustrous Henna Rocks!
