Ammonia is a commonly produced industrial chemical with a pungent smell often found in household cleaning products, fertilizers and hair colouring products. It is used in almost every brand of professional hair dyes to open up the hair shaft and cuticles for easier penetration of colours. In doing so, it will inevitably damage your hair and also result in other long-term health issues if you are over-exposed to it. Some common dangers are:
- Burning and irritation of eyes (even without directly getting it in your eye)
- Severe coughing and choking when inhaled
- Irritation and burning of skin
The amount of ammonia found in professional hair dyes is generally within a safe limit and normally shouldn't cause any severe health problems. However, if you ever decide to use one of those box dyes at home, please be cautious of the following:
- Never mix ammonia with bleach or any of its derivatives as the combination can produce extremely toxic chlorine gas
- If you accidentally get any ammonia on your skin or in your eyes, rinse it off with water immediately
Currently, some ammonia-free hair colouring products on the market are:
Garnier Olia
