Clairol Beautiful Collection hair color |
THE BAD NEWS:
Clairol Loving Care hair color has been DISCONTINUED. (I've been noticing that I can't find it on the local drugstore shelves anymore, or even K-mart! ) Clairol Loving Care was a gentle, almost non-toxic hair color that I've been using now for about a year (see my article Clairol Loving Care). It has NO ammonia and NO peroxide and NO PPD (the chemical p-phenylenediamine).However, it does contains AZO dyes (which are chemical compounds that have a hydrogen molecule replaced with an amino acid. For a more technical description see Aromatic Amino Compounds). Note: Peolple can still be allergic to AZO dyes (especially if you already had an allergic reaction to PPD) - so you should always do the allergy tests indicated on the product before using it.
I can still buy Clairol Loving Care hair color from Amazon.com (my affiliate link) - but, I know that eventually it will disappear from there.
