If Henna Hair Dye is the Answer...Then 'What Was the Question?'
The question is: Where do I find a totally natural hair dye? A henna hair dye that comes in a variety of hair colors?I wish the following comments were not true, but sadly they are real experiences of people literally caught in a hair dye dilemma: They’ve had serious allergic reaction to hair dye containing (PPD)*, (PTD)*, ammonia, peroxide and other synthetic chemicals and now they are at a real loss as to what to do. They are searching for a natural alternative to chemical hair dye so they can avoid allergic reaction. However, many times just don’t know where to begin to find a totally natural hair dye.
A PPD Allergy experience
“I was covering the grey
in my dark brown hair for years without a problem, then suddenly last year my
scalp blew up with swollen patches, itchy rash all over my forehead, and my
head felt like it was on fire. I kept dying my hair because I didn't make the
connection--how could I react to something I'd been using for years? It took
three doctors before someone figured it out...”* Severe PTD Allergy
“I too had a severe allergic reaction to hair dye that does not contain PPD but a derivative of it - PTD. I was only doing highlights the past few years and finally decided it was time for bit more coverage due to graying. The stylist used products by K…G… due to the fact they do not contain PPD…After the first all over hair color I did experience some mild scalp itching, gone by the next …. 8 to 12 weeks later I went back for a color touch up and this was where the nightmare began...By the time I got home my scalp was itching, escalated as the night wore on. I did realize at this point what had happened weeks ago was a precursor to what was happening to me now. I took some Benadryl - spent the night in sheer agony. I never experienced such horrible itching in all my life, my head was so inflamed and swollen my hair on the top of my head was standing up!
In the morning I knew something was extremely wrong! My face & neck were swollen beyond recognition, I was a total rash with blistering most importantly my throat was swelling and I was having trouble breathing. My husband rushed me to the E.R…
This was seven months ago and I am still dealing with the after effects, massive hair loss and re-growth, itching, etc. Has anyone out there suffered to this degree and when does it end?” –Debra.*
