Since you have allergy to hair colors
containing PPD and harsh chemicals, it's best to avoid regular chemical dyes.
You can try 100% herbal or natural options
Vegetal Bio Colour, or Kama Ayurveda
Henna & Indigo combo - these are
ammonia-free, PPD-free and peroxide-free.
Always do a patch test before full application, even with herbal products.
If allergy persists, consult at 9555968one68 for allergy testing and safer alternatives.

Hello
You’re absolutely right to be cautious — PPD (Paraphenylenediamine) and similar chemicals found in most commercial hair dyes are among the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis, leading to itching, redness, or even scalp swelling.
For patients with confirmed or suspected PPD allergy, I usually recommend natural, herbal-based or PPD-free alternatives such as:
Indigo + Henna combination (100% natural, gives brown to black tones depending on proportion)
Herbul Hair Colour, Kama Ayurveda, or Forest Essentials Henna–Indigo mixes (chemical-free options)
Vegetal Bio Colour – clinically tested, ammonia- and PPD-free
L’Oréal Botanēa (professional line) – uses natural henna, cassia & indigo, with no synthetic dyes
Remember, even herbal dyes should be patch-tested before use, as some people may react to natural ingredients like indigo or henna too.
If you’d like, I can help you choose a safe, long-lasting combination suitable for your scalp type and guide you on natural greying control options (vitamin support, peptide serums, etc.).
You can message me directly on WhatsApp at nine three two six zero two zero five three six for personalized guidance and product recommendations based on your allergy history.

If you are allergic to cosmetic hair colors, it’s best to avoid products containing PPD (para-phenylenediamine), ammonia, or peroxide, as these commonly cause allergic reactions.
You can try herbal or natural-based hair colors that are free from PPD and harsh chemicals.
Some safe options include:
• Vegetal Safe Color – 100% herbal, PPD-free and ammonia-free.
• Khadi Natural Hair Color – Made from henna and indigo; completely natural.
• Indus Valley Damage-Free Gel Hair Color – PPD and ammonia free, easy to apply.
• Herbal Tatva Henna-Based Hair Color – Pure plant-based and gentle on scalp.
Alternatively, you can use pure henna and indigo in a two-step process for full grey coverage without any chemicals.
Next Steps
Always do a patch test 48 hours before applying any product.
Health Tips
Tips:
• Avoid “black henna,” as it usually contains PPD.
• Use mild herbal shampoo and good hair oil for maintenance.
If your allergy symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a dermatologist for patch testing and personalised advice.
