Can I dye my hair using Brown Henna Hair Dye?
Rosie
Year ago i got a Black Henna tattoo whilst on holiday. I suffered from itchiness and scaring.
I put no thought into this, and dyed my hair a few years later and suffered from MAJOR swelling to the head, and I was hospitalized.
I now understand that I am allergic to Black Henna.
HOWEVER, is there any hair products I can use to dye my hair without causing an allergic reaction? I have done some research and apparently I would be safe using Natural Brown Henna Hair Dyes..
If anyone knows anything more on this subject, i'd be extremely grateful!
Answer
For years, there has been speculation among consumers and health groups that consistent use of hair color can result in an increased risk of certain types of cancer. According to Begoun, this is a real concern, but exhaustive research by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health has yielded no conclusive answers. Begoun says the research has been both confusing and conflicting: "In essence ⦠there is no definitive proof one way or the other." The FDA recommends that consumers weigh the risk for themselves.
Henna, for example, is a natural hair color that is incredibly drying to the hair shaft, Begoun says. And cosmetics scientists at TheBeautyBrains.com say that henna will only temporarily tint your hair. Although most so-called natural hair-color products use fewer chemicals than most drugstore hair colors, experts say that any change to natural hair color causes hair damage. Experts suggest using the gentlest formula that will yield your desired color and using it as infrequently as possible.
Herbatint & Naturetint are two permanent hair colors that use a smaller amount of hair dye chemicals in conjunction with natural ingredients. Both have fairly decent ratings at MakeupAlley.com (though each gets only a handful of reviews).

If youâre using Henna which says itâs going to turn your hair from black to blonde, then it seems like your using compound Henna, which is not 100% natural. Without getting too scientific, compound henna is when you mix the Lawson ia with a chemical like, metallic salts. The most commonly used ones are Copper, Lead acetate and Nickel. This can arguably damage your hair, leaving it dry, brittle and coarse.

Remember, poison ivy is all natural, too! But you probably don't want it on your skin. It is very possible to have an allergic reaction, or other irritation, from products labeled "all natural" or "organic." For example, lanolin, from sheep's wool, is a common natural ingredient in some moisturizers that sometimes causes allergic reactions.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.

When it comes to hair care treatments, product use or visits to a salon or spa, the consumer must take responsibility to do their homework and be aware of all the risks involved.

Any quick, natural remedies for making skin break out redness go away?

My skin is breaking out, and I have to go to a wedding tomorrow!
Answer
I know you want a quick fix for your spot but to avoid future ones I reccomend proper nutrition. unfortunately a quick fix is rare and you just have to rely on concealor but pimples start from within as toxins are released through your skin and an unhealthy lifestyle will show on your face.
zinc, along with vitamin A, and tea tree oil (also ayurvedic therapies) as over-the-counter remedies available for treating acne.
Essential Vitamins for Skin Care in General
Vitamin A - the first property of vitamin A is its ability to stimulate growth.Examples of vitamin A enriched foods include citrus fruits, carrots, tomatoes, yellow squash, and pumpkin. Vitamin A can also be applied to the skin topically with creams to promote cell growth.
Vitamin B - The Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institute of Health states that inflammation of the skin is one sign of B6 deficiency.
Vitamins C and E - The American Academy of Dermatology recommends daily oral dosages of vitamins C and E for healthy skin
zinc- A study conducted at Duke University provides evidence that Zinc is an important antioxidant supporting healthy skin.
I find Cetaphil is great but you can find a range of products for your skin and body on Vitacost and it is quite cheap too. As I buy my beauty products from there I have a link which will get you $10 off your first order which is cool!

You can search under your skin problem and will find the products you need and they have reviews to help you...check it out its worth it and good luck :)
QUICK FIX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a trick though for pimples that are just starting...rub ice on them, they go down. Then you can make an asprin mask (mix asprin into a paste and load it on the spot OR you can use Mud facial masks, they work a treat! Just leave it on aslong as you can it absorbs the oil out of the area. It really works :) Great make up application works wonders too...!!!
