Dangers of Natural Hair Dyes

Many henna hair dyes on the market masquerade as "Natural" or "Pure Henna".These so-called henna products are sometimes laced with toxic ingredients and heavy metals. While adverse reactions are usually dismissed as sensitivity on the part an individual, the fact remains that an ingredient known as PPD, or Para-Phenylenediamine, is the poisonous chemical that is found in many of these "natural" hair dyes. It is also found in fabric dyes, cosmetics, printing and photocopying inks and photo developing chemicals, and is responsible for severe and even fatal reactions.
