Just like your clothing needs to evolve with your age, so do your cosmetics and hair color. An astonishing 75% of American women admit to dyeing their hair. I have spent 35 years in the industry as an educator and hairstylist. Before the introduction of organic hair color, I noticed a concerning effect on clients' color and hair health over time. Their once-resilient hair started to become drier and less vibrant, and their color would fade faster before their next hair appointment. I conducted careful research and learned that standard, nonorganic hair dye is loaded with chemicals such as ammonia, formaldehyde, parabens, and sodium lauryl sulfate.
Research has revealed that these harmful chemicals compromise the integrity of the hair and leave it less shiny and soft. Furthermore, these chemicals have been known to cause itching and burning on the scalps of clients and on the hands of the professionals applying the hair color, as well as causing headaches for both. Even worse, many of the chemicals found in standard hair dye seep into the bloodstream and enter your body.
Once I discovered this information, I began to research organic color lines that do not contain these damaging chemicals. I found The Organic Color System (OCS), a highly ranked organic hair color line with 98-99% of ingredients naturally derived and organic. The only synthetic ingredients are stabilizers and pigments, which are necessary to maintain a permanent color. So, if these organic lines exist, why don't more salons use them?
Unfortunately, there is a misconception that "natural" means "less effective." Many stylists and clients alike are not interested in organic hair color, because they believe that without the strong chemicals, the products are unable to cover grays.
Yet, organic hair color is proven to last longer than non-organic, and there is no burning scalp, headaches, or harsh smells. Instead, OCS contains healthy ingredients such as orange peel, grapefruit seed, comfrey root, and antioxidant blends of aloe vera.
For aging women, it is inevitable that the density of their hair slowly decreases. It is important that hair professionals and clients work together to maintain and increase the integrity of their hair.
Organic hair color can achieve this very goal. I invite you to try a chemical-free hair experience at Jade Organic Salon, where we are at the intersection of health and beauty!
