Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) Allergic Reaction -Sufferers' Warning!

Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in Hair Dye:
The Warning

Perhaps you read of the sad tragic death of Tabitha McCourt, who was only 17 years old when she died from a severe dermatological allergic reaction to hair dye, a few years ago. Her death was relatively quick and shocking to everyone, as reported in the UK’s Daily Mail journal.

Even though an actual death from hair dye is rare, allergic reactions to hair dye are increasing, in recent years. The main culprit is the chemical Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in Hair Dye. Did you know that several European countries have actually banned this dangerous chemical in hair dye? Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) is not the only substance that causes allergic contact dermatitis, but it’s the main one.

Did you know that EVERY time you use chemical-based hair dye, you risk getting allergic contact dermatitis? That’s because a severe dermatological allergic reaction can happen at any time. This means that just because you’ve never experienced a reaction in the past, doesn’t mean you’ll never suffer the sad consequences. The risk increases EVERY time you use chemical-based hair dye. I should know, it happened to me.

The Voice of a Few Sufferers

The following were comments made on a petition¹ initiated by Nadra K. Nittle of Change.org that are meant to prove that validity of the warning about Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in Hair Dye.

“Following a trip to get my hair colored, I ended up in the emergency room after my face swelled to twice its normal size. It took more than a week and a course of steroids and antihistamines for me to recover. I’d colored my hair before with no trouble.” –N.K.Nittle

“I am a professional colorist, and understand the complexities of hair color and allergic reaction. There is no need for many of the harsh chemicals companies dump into product.” –Susan F.

“My daughter suffered a severe reaction to a hair tint that she gets on a regular basis. What a fright. This happened on the 2nd of October, 6 days before Tabatha McCourt. I am now terrified for my daughter or myself to ever get our hairs dyed again. Why, why, why don’t the so-called makers of these deadly hair dyes just eliminate the killer ppd from the dyes????” –Donna D.

“I've had numerous allergic reactions and have also been in hospital due to coming in contact with PPD. I'd never wish the side effects on my worst enemy - get rid of it!!!!” –Rach W.

“My daughter and my sister are allergic, I am very concerned about the issue of allergies and especially for those that are causing entirely preventable deaths. –Pilar J.

BE SAFE. Use 100% All-Natural Plant-based Hair Color Dye

All men and women deserve to be safe when coloring their hair and therefore should avoid the potential dangers of using synthetic chemical hair dye. Your health should be a priority –even when dying your hair.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis Pain from Chemical Hair Dye and PPD?

Sharing Your Pain:
Allergic Contact Dermatitis

It’s painful to read of the physical and emotional scarring and distress caused by allergic contact dermatitis from hair dye chemicals such as, PPD (para-phenylenediamine), especially if you’ve suffered the same sad consequences. Yet, it still helps to share and learn of a solution to this dangerous substance and the potential adverse reaction it can cause to the user –even after years of use with no apparent problems.  

According to many dermatologists, there are many cases of men and women who suffered from allergic reaction to permanent chemical dyes, PPD (para-phenylenediamine). Some have been dying their hair for many years; then suddenly they’re faced with a severe allergic reaction to chemical hair dye. They yearn for an alternative solution. I’ve included a few comments to give you an idea of what the sufferer feels.*

Allergic Contact Dermatitis Sufferer Comments

“Dyed my moustache hair using permanent hair dye. I've had a very bad reaction around my mouth, which has left me looking like a swollen duck. Corticosteroid cream I think only made it worse. I am now just using Flamazine to treat any infection. The area is extremely swollen and burns and itches like hell. Does anyone know if this will be permanent? My concern is that its not just a skin reaction which usually clears up, but an actual chemical burn which of course may never clear up.” –Danny.            

“I have been dying my hair for many years, and suddenly I have developed an allergic reaction, along my hairline and behind my ears, it was pretty serious, I am on medication, but I desperately need to dye my hair, is there anything I can use, I was told to use non-permanent hair dye, Do you think it will be alright to use?”
-Veronica.     

“I'm 47years old & have been highlighting my hair for years. The last 5 years I've been coloring my whole head. I started having an allergic reaction 6 months ago with itchy swollen eyes every day. I have been blaming it on hormone changes due to the start of menopause. But on Sunday, I had the worst reaction to date. Not only did my eyes swell, but also my whole face blew up and my neck as well. I had severe itching and weeping behind my ears and started to feel tingling in my left hand. I had prednisone prescribed and it helped by the night. I can't believe that no one has developed a color without that horrific chemical ppd. I know I cannot color my hair again; I truly fear after this reaction. I hate the thought of going gray, but my life is more important than that.” –Monica.

Avoid Allergic Contact Dermatitis from PPD in Chemical Hair Dye

Allergic Contact Dermatitis
-What’s Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)?

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a chemical substance that is widely used as a permanent hair dye. It is a leading cause of allergic contact dermatitis from application of popular mixes of hair dye. It may also been found in textile or fur dyes, dark coloured cosmetics, temporary tattoos, photographic developer and lithography plates, photocopying and printing inks, black rubber, oils, greases and gasoline.

How to Avoid Allergic Contact Dermatitis
-from Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)

The solution for avoiding Allergic Contact Dermatitis is to avoid using synthetic hair dye altogether. Most artificial hair dye contain PPD, ammonia, peroxide and other harmful chemicals. As noted above, results through continued use can be quite detrimental.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis
-The Dermatological Solution

The solution given by most dermatologists across the globe is to use an all-natural hair dye such as pure henna that works like a semi-permanent color dye, but without chemicals. The problem with using pure henna is that it only gives one color: bright red-orange. Most people don’t care for pure henna color. Most people are satisfied with covering their gray hair or coloring their hair with their own natural shade of hair color. 

Allergic Contact Dermatitis
-The Dermatological Solution Exists

Heeding the above reminders, from dermatologists worldwide, many men and women have experienced successful results using Lustrous Henna® 100% all Natural Hair Dye. It comes in more than ten (10) natural hair color shades. The shades are a result of mixing pure henna  with the extracts of other botanical plants. All shades of color are totally natural and therefore, don’t contain any harmful chemical substance. Allergic Contact Dermatitis can be avoided since allergy reaction to pure henna is extremely rare. Lustrous Henna® 100% all Natural Hair Dye is a combination of ancient traditional hair dye combined with modern green living.

Hair Dye 'Chemical Beauty' Bothering You?

Chemicals in Hair Dye Are a Cause for Worry

A recent study conducted at Yale University found a link between permanent hair dye and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One study for example, suggested that woman over the age of 50 who have used permanent hair dyes for ten or more years have an increased risk of breast cancer. Yet another discovered that users of permanent hair dyes are 2:1 times more likely to have bladder cancer. Other studies have linked the use of hair dyes to allergic contact dermatitis and skin disorders like eczema and to far more serious diseases like leukemia and ovarian cancer.

Hair salon and consumer hair coloring formulas use a high number of toxic chemicals in their formulas. In one analysis of popular brands and formulations, Consumer Reports found nearly 20 different ingredients that were classified as potential human carcinogens “Conventional dyes contain high level of toxic chemicals that can be absorbed through the scalp, where there is a rich blood supply. Then these chemicals circulate throughout your body, where they can be stored in the tissues and cause adverse health effects," says Marianne Marchese, ND, who practices natural medicine at a Woman's Time Clinic in Portland, Oregon.

The number of hair stylists, clients and consumers using home hair dye kits who suffer from allergic contact dermatitis is on the increase. Allergic contact dermatitis is a serious warning sign that hair dye “chemical overload” is affecting you.

Dermatologists in New Zealand have documented extensive studies pertaining to hair dye use and allergic contact dermatitis.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from Chemical Hair Dyes –Very Risky.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis

The number of hair stylists, clients and consumers using home hair dye kits who suffer from allergic contact dermatitis is on the increase. Allergic contact dermatitis is a serious warning sign that hair dye “chemical overload” is affecting you. Studies show that the possibility of serious allergic reaction increases with each use. What you don’t feel ‘today’, you may severely feel ‘tomorrow’.  Meaning: The next time you use chemical hair dye could cause an allergic reaction with serious consequences.

Dear Syed,

I have no hesitation in recommending to anybody.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from 'Black Henna' Dye–Can Be Deadly.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from PPD 'Black Henna' Dye

• Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)¹ in hair dye is known to cause severe skin allergies such as: permanent scarring, marked redness and swelling of scalp, face and eyes, eyelids may completely shut, allergic contact dermatitis may spread throughout body and can even (in rare instances) result in death.
• Severe PPD allergy can also result in contact urticaria and anaphylaxis on rare occasions.¹
• PPD: “This compound is used in almost every hair dye on the market, regardless of brand. The darker the colour, usually, the higher the concentrations. Some of the so-called 'natural' and 'herbal' hair colours, while ammonia-free, contain PPD. Some products sold as henna also contain PPD added, particularly so-called 'black henna'. In many cases, PPD causes allergic contact dermatitis and can cause scarring. PPD should never be applied directly to the skin in its pure form or mixed with anything else.”¹

'Black Henna' Ingredient Lists Below are ingredient lists and quotes from randomly selected henna and chemically mixed products marketed as 'Black Henna' Hair Dye:

“Black henna is a henna based powder hair dye for colouring gray hair in black. India’s largest selling henna based powder hair dye.” Ingredients: Herbal Henna, Barium Peroxide, Citric Acid, 

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD)¹  “We offer the finest Black Henna Hair Dye in standard as well as customized packing to meet the requirements of the clients. Our Black Henna Hair Dye can be used for any type of hair…” Ingredients Used In Black Henna Hair Dye:  Henna (Lawsonia Inermus), Amla (Emblica Officinalis), Shikakai (Acacia Concinna), 

Para Phenylenediamine (PPD)¹, Barium Peroxide, Citric Acid, Magnesium Carbonate.

About the Popular Misnomer: 'Black Henna': The 'Black Henna' name is misused for skin (tattoo) and hair dye products, are not only derived from the plant, but a combination of chemical dye mixed with natural, usually low-grade plants made into a black powder or liquid dye.

• 'Black Henna' is not pure indigo or 'black indigo'.
• The indigo plant is NOT BLACK.
• Pure indigo is a green plant (Indigofera tinctoria) and the green leaves are dried, crushed and powdered. When used properly with pure henna, it will turn hair to a black color.
• If indigo is mixed with chemicals dyes, or even henna that has been compromised by chemicals, including PPD, then it is not pure indigo or the so-called, 'black henna'. It is a harmful chemical hair dye.
• 'Black Henna' is not pure, nor is it pure henna.
• Pure henna is NOT BLACK.
• Pure henna is a green plant (Lawsonia inermis) and the green leaves are dried, crushed and powdered. When used alone it will turn the hair an orange-red color. If it is properly used with pure indigo, the hair will dye to black. 
• Even if pure henna is mixed with para-phenylenediamine (PPD), 'coal tar', it is no longer pure henna, but is a harmful chemical hair dye that can cause severe allergic contact dermatitis and even be deadly.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis from PPD in Hair Dye –Can be Avoided.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis Caused by PPD* is Serious.

The following information is quoted from an article in the Canadian Journal of Medicine**:

“Contact dermatitis caused by PPD in hair dye often extends beyond the scalp to include the forehead, neck, eyelids and face. It usually manifests as pruritic, edematous, erythematous scaly patches and plaques; vesicular lesions sometimes occur as well. It can take weeks to fully resolve and may require treatment with corticosteroids, orally administered. In addition to more localized reactions, reports of disseminated dermatitic eruptions after PPD exposure that can be quite debilitating have been reported. Other skin reactions, such as postinflammatory hyper-or hypopigmentation, can also ensue.  

All 6 of our patients were told that they had an allergy to PPD and cross-reacting substances. Interestingly, none of them suspected that their contact dermatitis to hair dye had stemmed from their previous black henna tattoo. They were instructed to never again get black henna tattoos and to avoid dyeing their hair with any products containing PPD or other para-dye ingredients. It was pointed out to them that PPD can be in both light and dark shades of hair dye. The patients were given a list of products that may contain PPD or cross-react with it.¹ There are some PPD-free hair dyes that patients with PPD allergies can use. Some patients may be able to tolerate highlights if the hair dye does not touch the scalp when applied, but application of dyes with PPD to hair roots (i.e., where the dye comes into contact with the scalp) must be avoided.”

Avoid Allergic Contact Dermatitis Caused by PPD in Chemical Hair Dye.

The solution for avoiding Allergic Contact Dermatitis is to avoid using synthetic hair dyes altogether. Most contain PPD, ammonia, peroxide and other harmful chemicals. As noted above, results through continued use can be quite detrimental.

Dermatological Solution for Avoiding Allergic Contact Dermatitis

The solution given by most dermatologists across the globe is to use an all-natural hair dye such as pure henna, that works like a semi-permanent color dye. but without chemicals. The problem with using pure henna dye is that it only gives one color: bright red-orange. Most people don’t care for pure henna color. Most people are satisfied with covering their gray hair or coloring their hair with their own natural shade of hair color.  

Many men and women have experienced successful results using Lustrous Henna® 100% all Natural Hair Dye. It comes in nine (9) natural hair color shades. The shades are a result of mixing pure henna extracts with the extracts of other botanical plants. All shades of color are totally natural and therefore, don’t contain any harmful chemical substance. Allergic Contact Dermatitis can be avoided since allergy reaction to pure henna is extremely rare. Lustrous Henna® 100% all Natural Hair Dye is a combination of ancient traditional hair dye combined with modern green living. * 

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a chemical substance that is widely used as a permanent hair dye. It may also been found in textile or fur dyes, dark coloured cosmetics, temporary tattoos, photographic developer and lithography plates, photocopying and printing inks, black rubber, oils, greases and gasoline.
