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

Women have been getting their hair colored  for years.
I would agree to be careful on tx as bleaching is harsh.

I've actually had some color in my eyes.....guess what?
I'm not blind.

As for the whine, I mean wine, don't mind if I do.

Might as well have a glass of wine while you are getting your hair colored then. Heck, why not?

Okay, if hair color can cause blindness, then be sure not to put hair color into your eye.  Otherwise it is perfectly safe.

"....Is It Safe for Pregnant Women to Dye Their Hair?

We don't know much about the safety of hair dyes during pregnancy. It's likely that when you apply hair dye, only a small amount is absorbed into your system. So very little chemicals, if any, would be able to get to your baby. In the few animal and human studies that have been done, no changes were seen in the developing baby. Talk with your doctor if you have questions or concerns...."

There is one product that colors the hair by coating it. Henna... it also makes the hair real shiny and makes it fell thicker too. Be sure to use a good moisturizer before application though since the coated hair won't be able to absorb the moisturizer for about 4 weeks after application.

For the people who thought my comments about the chemicals were silly... getting hair color in your eyes can cause blindness... read the box.... it has to be able to penetrate to get into the eye.
