Naturally Better Color Most hair color products include harsh chemicals that can actually damage hair during the color process – stripping hair of natural beauty and shine. My Organic Salon in New Smyrna Beach doesn’t use products like that. The hair products that are used at My Organic Salon are made from organic products and they are cruelty-free.

Everyone loves to have their hair colored, but not everyone is aware of the maintenance required to keep it looking fresh and vibrant. So, it’s not surprising that many clients would come back to the salon after a wash or two, complaining about their hair color fading so quickly. How Hair Color Works In order for hair color to work, it needs an alkaline to open the hair cuticles and allow hair color molecules to penetrate the cortex of the hair. Some traditional professional hair colors contain ammonia, which act as the alkalizing agent, but because of its negative health effects more holistic brands like Oway and Original Mineral chose to eliminate ammonia from their formula and use a milder, safer alkalizing agent in its place, a non-gaseous substance called Monethanolamine (MEA). Compared to ammonia which blasts open the hair cuticles causing hair damage, MEA slowly opens the cuticles. permanent-hair-color-molecules Permanent Hair Color Molecules Tips…

The primary function of ammonia in hair colour is to raise the pH of the hair sufficiently so as to open the cuticle and allow colour to penetrate into the cortex of the hair. The higher the percentage of ammonia, the higher the pH rises and the more the cuticles open. The secondary function of ammonia is that when it is mixed with peroxide, it neutralises the existing colour pigments to a greater degree. Unfortunately though there are three main side effects on the hair: At the same time that colour is swelling the cuticle to easily enter the cortex, there is a significant protein and moisture loss; the vital necessities for healthy hair! This is how the hair is damaged during an ammonia colour. The pH of the hair is raised to such an extent by ammonia that it is physically impossible to return hair back to its ideal…
