WHAT IS ECO-FRIENDLY HAIR COLOR?

Eco-friendly Hair Color today 

All hair dyes haves chemicals in order to work, even the eco-friendly ones. Many color companies have been researching, replacing and/or adding more ingredients from natural resources, to be as gentle as possible for less irritation without sacrificing performance.

As I normally say, you will pick your poison. The only chemical-free services are HENNAS & HERBS. Colors today are more vegan and they have more pure oils, keratin protein like micro-protein system, some are sulfate-free; also, the colors contain lower ammonia or ammonia-to-free as MEA or ETA (monoethanolamide or ethanolamine) instead.

There are not that many options for pigments, they are usually PPD, PTD (toluene) or direct pigments (these do not last).

Organic Color Systems

Organic Color Systems is a high performance range of long-lasting, permanent hair colors containing certified organic extracts and natural ingredients. You can create infinite natural tones and exciting fashion colors.

This 100% ammonia-free hair color maintains the hair’s essential moisture and protein levels, so the hair is not damaged by the coloring process.

100% AMMONIA FREE

 Ammonia can open up the pores of the skin and staining can occur. But since Organic Color Systems is not made with ammonia little to no staining occurs on the skin. Skin irritation and burning on the scalp is significantly reduced, due to the pharmaceutical grade peroxide which we use and the absence of ammonia.

Ammonia degrades the hairs protein structure which can lead to banding, hot roots and colors that fade off tone. With Organic Colors Systems there is no banding or hot roots and colors fade on tone!

pH_ScalePlus, a more pleasant salon experience is created, since are no harmful ammonia fumes that can make breathing difficult or cause eyes to swell and tear. Organic Color Systems also uses the lowest level of PPDs (pigment) possible to effectively color the hair. Our average is 0.6%, as opposed to the legal maximum within the European Union of 6%.

THE pH FACTOR

The hair is left healthy. Organic Color Systems does not take the hair as far from its natural or isometric point on the pH scale as chemical colors do. Hair’s isometric (natural) point is between pH 4.5-5.5.

Plus, by using Organic Care Systems after coloring, you are able to return the hair to its correct pH and fully close the cuticle.

Since you are able to fully close the hair’s cuticle back down after coloring by using Organic Care Systems, you can reduce color fade.

ECOCOLORS

NO OR ZERO AMMONIA, Ethanolamine (also called monoethanolamine or MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and triethanolamine (TEA)

ECOCOLORS statements says: “Don’t be fooled by ammonia free hair colors or so called organic hair colors, The ammonia substitute used is odorless and may cause respiratory issues or hair loss. (as you cannot smell it, it is insidiously harming you) EcoColors Labs did extensive research on ingredients to try to come up with the best possible formula. We do not use ethanolamines as we found them to possibly cause challenges (though, they may create formaldehyde by-products which are also damaging to the hair).”

A scientific study published in the January 2014 Issue of Cosmetic Science Review indicates that Monoethanolamine (the “ammonia substitute” in non ammonia permanent hair colors) is 85% MORE DAMAGING than ammonia.

The study was measured by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) on the cysteic acid level measurement with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) photomicrographs to visualize cuticle damage, and protein loss.

This confirmed oxidative damage, but also the damage caused by other damage pathways caused by varying levels of Monoethanolamines in hair colorants.
