Hair color without peroxide or ammonia?

Gals do you know if there is any safe hair color to use while on treatment? Might one without peroxide or ammonia be OK?
Thanks, Bree

As for Steven Tyler, he did tx, yes? Did he clear? "

Sorry 'beat I missed that.  As of last report a few months after treatment he was still UND but I haven't heard anything about it since...I'm hoping so he's had enough problems since he got divorced it seems to me.

Anyway.....and I found this where they talk about taking it internally via IV or drinking it. Not that I'd want to I'll stick to the wine.

Hydrogen Peroxide and Hepatotoxicity
Substances that are likely to damage the liver are typically referred to as "hepatotoxic" substances. Hydrogen peroxide is not a particularly hepatotoxic product. Although it can be quite dangerous (especially if used inappropriately), the liver is not specifically targeted by this product.

i am a cosmotologist, i am currently on tx, i am still coloring my hair, i am also quite gray, it makes me feel better about myself. as far as it being harmful, there are some studies, that have linked peroxide color to bladder cancer, so far i have been coloring my hair for thirty years, so far so good. never heard it being linked to the liver, i guess as long as you can achieve SVR, what does it matter! good luck with your hair i know mine has always been my calling card. mary ann

The salon I go to always offers wine or champagne when I'm getting my hair done - I figure for the amount it costs I'm taking a glass or two every time so I'll see you there Elaine!   :)

"Hair color causes blindness" that reminds me of an article I read yesterday where some teenager used a whole can of deodorant by spraying it on their hand and it literally froze their skin. Then a brilliant adult comes along and does the same thing with the same result. I mean yeah you'd have to be pretty stupid to pour hair color right into your eyes and leave it there.

The Body Odd - Brrrr! Aerosol sprays are a silly way to get frostbite

I've had hair color get in to my eyes many times by accident over the years and can still see just fine (although it does sting like a bee)......but I always heard it was another activity that causes blindness if you do it to much?

Don't get it in your eyes but it provides a nice high gloss on the head and is excellent for keeping the mustache handle bars in place.
