For a more eco-friendly way to battle those nasty grays, try ammonia-free hair dyes and your hair will thank you for saving it from the caustic chemical in normal dyes.

San Francisco, California (CaymanMama.com) — Did you know that if 10,000 people colored their hair using earth friendly, ammonia-free products, it would prevent approximately 8 gallons of ammonia from staining the environment?

For a more eco-friendly way to battle those nasty grays, try ammonia-free hair dyes and your hair will thank you for saving it from the caustic chemical in normal dyes.

Here is why:

  • Studies have found a link between the common hair dye ingredient coal tar and bladder cancer and lymphoma. Scary!
  • Typical dye ingredients dry out hair making it brittle, dry and severely damaged. Eco-friendly dyes won’t. And since the colors are derived from minerals and plants, they look rich and multi-dimensional.
  • Ammonia-free dyes are biodegradable. When harmful ingredients like ammonia, chlorine bleach, and coal tar go down the drain, they still wreak havoc on the earth. Eco-ingredients such as henna and wheat germ are far gentler.

Try the following eco-friendly hair dyes:

* Advanced Cosmetic Technologies Kit - ($30/kit).
* Susan Henry Natural Color Process - wheat-germ-based formula ($20/kit).
* John Masters Organics Herbal Cider Hair Clarifier & Color Sealer - vinegar and herb mixture ($17/8 ounces).
* Morocco Method Henna -eddish tint, try henna ($11/4 ounces).
