Hair color

It is to be noted that even the heroes of ancient Greece used harsh soaps and bleaches to lighten and redden their hair . This was done primarily to be identified as these colors were associated with honour and courage. Even during the first-century Romans preferred dark hair. This was made so by a dye concocted from boiled walnuts and leeks. Things have not changed much over centuries. More and more youngsters are experimenting with styles. Perming, dyeing and straightening hair seems to be a new fashion statement.This is popular among the teens and younger people. Warning - it is to be noted that one must thoroughly understand the risks factors that are involved when you dye your hair.

  3. Many of the chemical dyes used cause allergies and may damage the hair. Unfortunately commercial interests prevent manufacturers to adequately warn customers of associated risks. Even if that is done, it is always in very small letters, which one would not take the trouble to read.

  4. Yes Satchi said - no satutary warning is given nor the side effects . When I used I just got a heavy dandruff and I had a hell lot of time to remove it. Hence now I do not use any of these stuff.
