Salons should be able to tell you what ingredients are in the hair dyes they use - labeling of health and beauty products is required, at least in the US (and in most developed countries). They may have to go into their storage area and find the box, but it shouldn't be all that difficult.You can get some idea of how prevalent that particular ingredient is in preparations designed for home use by reading the backs of the boxes in the store.I understand what you mean about sensitive skin - I also have it, and lots and lots of allergies. Good luck finding a product that works for you!Laura Janelswanson@sunflower.bio.indiana.edu

I am in my 40's and haven't colored my hair for quite some time. When I did color it, I had a lot more body than I do now. I would really like to start coloring it again to gain more body as well as to cover a little gray that I am starting to get. My problem is, over the past couple of years, my skin has become very sensitive. I recently had a patch test done by my dermatologist and discovered that I am allergic to p-Phenylenediamine and its components. This is an ingredient found in many hair dyes. My question is, how can I find out which hair dyes do not contain this ingredient? I would prefer a permanent color rather than semi-permanent. Do beauty salons know what ingredients are in the hair dyes they use? Any response would be appreciated!!! Thanks, Angie
