Going organic is the latest trend of the season. In fact in today’s age everyone loves to opt for chemical-free, organic products. Going herbal is becoming viral day by day and hence for hair colors also I would also love to opt for organic hair dyes. My mother used to tell me that nothing can replace the goodness of herbs and yes, it is indeed very true …

Could Organic Colour Be the Answer? Excitedly and a little skeptical, I called the salon and spoke to Stacy, one of the founders, about the products that they used. The salon uses Organic Colour Systems, an ammonia-free hair color along with other organic and natural facial products and hair products. (In the US, the product is distributed under the name Organic Color Systems.) avaialble at basin drive hair ft lauderdale Stacy further explained that in addition to the healthier product lines that they use, the salon was created using low VOC paints and bamboo floors. In addition, a water filtration system was installed to insure that the water used with their products were free of harmful chemicals. The hair gods had answered my prayers. I had read that hair color needed ammonia to be able to open the hair shaft in order for color to be applied. If Organic Color hair color did not…

Since making the transition over to organic foods and products, I have asked myself many times why I still go to a traditional salon. I didn’t even know organic salons existed until one of our writers, Organic Olivia, raved about her experience at basin drive hair the first non-toxic/organic salon in ft lauderdale. Since I don’t live in New York, or even in a large city, I expected to have to travel pretty far to find one. When I learned there was actually one in my own region, I was ecstatic. I visited two salons, and the women working in both told me they had decided they simply couldn’t be subjected to the harsh chemicals they were being exposed to daily any longer, and didn’t want to expose their clients to them anymore, either. One woman became so sensitive to them that she had no choice but to use and learn about organic products…

The Organic Color Systems line keeps growing! The latest arrival is the No Limits color range of eight semi-permanent shades. Available in Natural Black, Dark Brown, Chestnut Brown, Golden Blonde, Red, Yellow, Orange and Violet, No Limits semi-permanent hair color is a fantastic way for salon clients to refresh shades between in-salon color services or to change their tone for a short period of time. The color typically lasts from 6 to 12 washes. Great for use in the salon, the No Limits can also be retailed to clients for home us, either to revitalize their color between salon appointments or, if they wish, to experiment with new looks and colors. The possibilities for this product are endless. Because No Limits are direct dyes the color result will vary, depending on the hair’s natural base tone. For a brighter effect, No Limits can be applied to pre-lightened hair. Another great advantage of this range is that…

organic hair color ft lauderdale I get asked this question a lot, “Do you carry Organic hair color?”. This is a loaded question for me. If you ask me that question get ready for a one hour rant on why marketing can make you believe anything. The short quick answer is NO. Why don’t we carry Organic hair color if we are a naturally/Organic based salon? Well that’s because Organic hair color is a marketing scheme. Just because someone tells you their hair color is Organic doesn’t actually make it healthier for you. They only need a few Organic ingredients like extracts to slap a label on it and make you believe it’s healthier for you. Remember, there’s absolutely no one regulating our industry, but that’s another rant for another day. Ammonia is 100% organic from the earth and evaporates as soon as oxygen hits it (hence the smell) and has been demonized for no good reason except to say that companies want to sell you their brand new “Ammonia Free” hair color. Instead we’ve replaced Ammonia with an even greater evil, MEA. This horrible, man-made chemical will not only dry out your hair but studies are showing that prolonged use can lead to hair loss! Any “plant based” ammonia free dye is going to have MEA in it. When I heard Wella was releasing a line of hair color that would be PPD and PTD free I was shocked. PPD and PTD are the chemicals in dye responsible for adding brown tones and covering grey. These 2 chemicals are a real problem in the sense that over time a person can develop sensetivities to hair color. Sensitivities reveal themselves through an itchy scalp, swelling, and redness etc. I was skeptical. What did they use to replace these chemicals? Would it be another man-made crap solution or is this the real deal? After a 4 hour long seminar and meeting with two different chemists I am convinced this is finally the real deal. Wella did the impossible and after 25 yrs of trying to make this dream happen it finally came true. Innocence (I’m not gonna lie I kinda hate the name) is a new color line formulated with a brand new dye molecule called ME+ to prevent sensitivities from hair color. They’ve taken the PPD dye molecule that is responsible for irritating our T Cells and changed the shape therefore creating a dye molecule that cannot bind to our T Cells. This prevents us from having any immune related responses to hair color. Finally safe, beautiful, flawless grey coverage color without being lied to! Let’s face it, we will never get truly 100% grey coverage organic hair color that works and is really what it claims to be, but we can get a solution that is much less irritating and actually works beautifully!
