What Products Do You Use?
For Hair Color, the main lines I use are O+M, Arete and EVO which are free of:
AMMONIA— is typically used to swell the hair and open the cuticle scales to allow colour to penetrate deep within the cortex. For anyone with sensitive skin or scalp, this is an unhealthy additive. We’ve replaced it with MEA – an alkaline agent that mimics the role of Ammonia, minus the odour, red eyes and irritation.
PPD— Paraphenylenediamine is a chemical known to cause dermatitis, reddening and swelling of the scalp and face. We’ve replaced it with low levels of PTDS (P-toluenediamine Sulfate), enabling up to 50% of PPD allergic stylists and clients to now use colour.
RESORCINOL — is a popular colouring agent toxic to wildlife and the human immune system. Shade dependent, we’ve replaced it with 2-Methylresorcinol or 4-Chlororesorcinol – two chemicals kinder to the environment and with less potential to sensitise.
*Cruelty-free and Vegan
For hair care and styling, my favorite lines to use are Innersense Organic Beauty, Afterworld Organics, Reverie and Cult + King (for links to these products, click on the Affliate Links page under the "Shop" drop down)
Does Organic Hair Color Cover Up Gray Hair?
It is AMAZING for gray coverage!
Is the Color Safe to Use if Pregnant?
I have served many pregnant women and have even used the color myself while pregnant and believe it is perfectly safe during the developmental stage. However, I do advise if you have any concerns please contact your OB/Physician with the ingredients for their reference. I can email you the ingredients for the hair color if requested, please feel free to contact me.
Are Your Products Vegan and Cruelty Free?
I am a huge advocate for animals and will always use products that are cruelty free. Evo, O&M, Hairstory, Reverie and Cult + King are completely vegan, while Innersense Beauty have products that contain beeswax and honey that is sustainably and ethically sourced.
If you have any more questions, concerns or comments, please do no hesitate to contact me via text or email.
I look forward to hearing from you!
