Sangye, I don't mean to sound stupid but do you think if the dye was without ammonia that it would be considered safe. You seem to be such a great source of knowledge that you are my first thought when I have questions. My hair is becoming more dry and scraggily looking and sometimes after a color it has more body. Also its about the only vain thing I have left.

LOL-- well that's better than the first thought some people have when they think of me!

I don't really know about alternatives to the hair dye chemicals. Ammonia is bad, for sure, but it's not linked to cancer. Hair dyes do contain benzenes, which are strongly linked to cancer, bone marrow suppression, immune disorders, and infertility to name a few. The fact that the dye is inhaled and absorbed through the skin makes it especially bad. I think there are other dangerous chemicals in dyes, but I don't remember what they are.

It certainly isn't helping your Wegs to use the dyes. It could be keeping you from getting better.

Have you researched natural alternatives?

No I haven't yet, that was going to be my next step. Thanks for the information, I never thought of it as stopping me from getting better.
