Problems with the PPD (para-phenylenediamine) in hair dye are one of the most regularly searched subjects on this blog so I am glad to be able to point those who have had allergic reactions to PPD to some more suggestions for dealing with the hair colour problem.
Our good friends, Sarah Stacey and Jo Fairley at the Beauty Bible (they are our partners in the Freefrom Skincare Awards and provide us with all of our wonderful testers) have just published the latest in their series of excellent beauty books, the Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible. Like all the others in the series it is packed with helpful advice and loads of tried and tested beauty products – but this time they have included a short chapter on PPD and ways to reduce the risks of an allergic reaction by using natural measures.
We have an extract from the chapter here on the Skinsmatter site – or if you want to buy the book for yourself it is available on Amazon for £16.99.
