Why Do You Need Ammonia-Free Hair Color?

Ammonia is a fusion of hydrogen and nitrogen. Which are used by factories for fertilisers in agriculture, used as refrigerant gas, for the filtration of water supplies, and in the production of explosives, plastics, pesticides, textiles, other chemicals and dyes. It is the frequent and the most familiar ingredient in hair dyes. When it can really harm your hair. It gives temporary results to the user giving permanent damages. The  formulation of  ammonia contains ingredients which rips apart the layers of protein from the hair  follicles making it dry, brittle and increase in breakage of hair strands from roots causing hair fall, split ends, damages hair’s structural integrity, breathing problems, skin burns, rashes, redness, skin sensitivity, irritation to both eyes and nose, overall causing unhealthy hair and health issues.

The below are the reasons why you should say bye to hair dyes with ammonia and hi to the hair dyes with no ammonia.

  1. Shiny Silky Hair : The ammonia present in the dyes are not hazardous itself. But the vapour that it gives off.  Hence the ammonia-less product gets rid of it and makes your  hair soft and shiny.
  2. Strong Healthy Hair : If there is no ammonia in the dyes the moisture gets locked in the hair there is also less usage of chemicals and doesn’t make hair dry. Helps in retaining moisture and keeps hair healthy.
  3. Minimises Damage : The hair dyes without ammonia use monoethanolamine (MEA) which has alcohol in it that acts as an alternate pH adjuster in hair dyes. MEA is used in a very less concentrated form and in combination with emollient oils and that makes the hair dyes less damaging.
  4. Itch Free Scalp : If you use ammonia contained hair dyes it may cause irritation, itchiness and burning sensation on scalps. Hence using ammonia less hair dyes leads to no itchy scalps.
  5. Free From Odour: Ammonia has a very strong odour. After several usage of them in hair dyes your hair will have a pungent smell which is so hard to control. In some people these strong odour may also cause migranes.
  6. Security: Ammonia-less hair dyes secures and locks the protein from hair. Also improving  the texture of hair by not ripping off the excess protein from each layer of the hair.
