I get my hair done at the salon. Since my stylist is the one to touch the color and since she washes it out afterward, I don't worry about it.

If I were coloring at home I'd be more concerned.

Loreal makes some that are safe. There are other companies also. It is especially important if you use a level 2 color that washes out gradually to make sure it is safe. Most companies will tell you if you call.

Dear Paula,

I use Waterworks. They contain no ammonia or peroxide, either. They are easier on your hair. I get my dye at Sally's Beauty Supply. These are henna dyes, however. You cannot use those if you use a straightening iron, because it will make your hair fall out. So could using a dye with gluten, though if you have DH.

Sincerely,

A quick warning about henna, if you have used any haircoloring either permenant or wash out do not use henna until after it has all grown out. You could end up with some real interesting colors otherwise. If you have never colored you hair before from what I understand henna is great though.

Dear ravenwoodglass,

My hair was its natural color when I dyed it with the henna. You also could lose your hair if you switch dyes. I think no matter what, people should do a patch test. My mom and grandmother were both hair dressers. There are things you need to be careful about!

Is Aveda colors gluten free??

Unless they have changed recently no. You may want to go to their website and Email the question in case maybe they have one or two that are. Most of their products are not safe though, at least last time I checked.

[confused]

I still havent died my hair, maybe i need to email a few companies and see what they tell me.

I know that Loreal Feria is gluten-free. I called and spoke to a woman there who told me there are "no gluten ingredients whatsoever" in it.

Dear Patti,

Thanks for the info on this. I use a different dye, but in case I ever need to switch, I will know what to use! There is so much that is difficult for us. It is bad enough we have to fear everything we breathe or eat or drink, but what we wear as well! Any information that makes this simpler is good!

Glad that the information was helpful, Jin.

I've been using the Feria with no problems at all.

Dear Patti,

As far as I know, my dye is safe. I like it because it does not burn your nostrils out, either! I cannot stand those chemicals they put in some of them! It feels like your lungs inhaled fire! The Waterworks smells like watercolor paint. That is bearable!

Sincerely,

Jin

I hope i can find the water one, i hate the chemicals that they put in dyes also, But do the water ones have stuff just for highlights also. I really need a lighter color in my hair and highlights lol

Dear Paula,

I am not sure if they have any highlight kits. They might. We get a select number of products here. It is difficult to say. I am going to pick up my dye soon. I will look and see if they have any.

Dear Paula,

No prob! I get it at Sally's Beauty Supply. I do not know if you guys have one or not. I do not think it is just a local place. It seems to be in other parts of the country.

Dear Paula,

As far as I know, they do not have highlighting or lowlighting in the Waterworks. However, I am going to poke around on the internet and see if they carry them anywhere. We do not get a number of things larger cities do. There is a possibility they have them but we just do not see them here! My mother and my grandmother on the other side of the family used to be beauticians! I thought about doing it, but I have Fibromyalgia and too many chemical sensitivities.

Dear Lynn,

I just remembered I was supposed to e-mail you! I am so sorry! I forgot! Unless someone e-mails me first, I will normally forget! The hair dye is a henna, so keep in mind if you ever want to change it, you will have to get it stripped professionally. Also, never use a straightening iron or get a perm using this type of dye, because it will cause your hair to fall out! My mother's hair dresser told her that. I had thought about changing my hair, but when I found out how big of a pain it would be, I decided to stick with being a raven-haired beauty! I think it suits my personality more anyway!
