What Can I Use Now That Clairol Loving Care is Discontinued? UseClairol Beautiful Collection!

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.

SO, WHAT PRODUCT CAN I USE NOW THAT IS SIMILAR TO CLAIROL LOVING CARE HAIR COLOR?
