What is safest, home permanent hair color, and is it safe to dye eyebrows?

Have been getting my hair colored for about 5 years now by my hairdresser. Problem is; it starts to fade after about 2 weeks. It was right before a holiday; so I dyed it myself using a light Brown permanent color by Nice and Easy %26amp; it actually turned out really nice (not fake looking). Yet, I heard permanent hair colors can cause cancer. Is there a safe permanent hair dye? Also if one is very careful; is it safe to dye eyebrows?What is safest, home permanent hair color, and is it safe to dye eyebrows?
Hun, don't worry about the cancer. Permanent colours cannot cause cancer (that I've heard of--and I've heard everything about hair colouring there is!). Sure, it's not safe to inhale the fumes, but cancer? that's a bit far-fetched.


The Nice %26amp; Easy hair dyes are good, aren't they? I've been dyeing my hair red from their line, and it turns out very nice. They're pretty safe. And yes, it's safe to dye the eyebrows. If you can, try and get someone else like a roommate or friend to help you with them. Take a dye-brush or even a paintbrush, and take a bit of the dye onto it. Then dab it all over your brow, lightly. Wait about 10 minutes and wipe it off. (you should have a friend because I advise you to keep your eyes closed during the dyeing). If the colour isn't dark enough for you, then wait a day and do the same thing again.What is safest, home permanent hair color, and is it safe to dye eyebrows?
Hair color has been tested %26amp; no evidence has proven that it causes cancer. Now-a-days it seems like you hear everything can cause cancer. It's not recommended that you color your eyebrows. If you were to get the color in your eyes it could cause a chemical burn %26amp; in severe causes could cause blindness. If you do color your eyebrows be very careful. Don't leave the color on your eyebrows as long as the rest of your hair, just leave it on around 1/2 the time, eyebrows are thinner %26amp; the change is more noticeable. Also, if you're coloring your hair darker, it's less damaging to use semi-permanent hair color.
oh god, you people and your box color. Ok, let me educate you in color, box color is what we call a metallic dye, now metallic dyes penetrate the hair shaft differently than professional hair colors do. Metallic dyes never leave the hair shaft even when the color fades this means that ends grow more and more damaged while the roots get colored giving your hair that false look of being healthy over time your hair can break off on the ends or even at the root. Metallic dyes are very harmful to your hair, and nice and easy is actually one of the more damaging box dyes. I suggest going into your salon. Your not only paying for a color, but a knowledge of hair that outweighs the general publics. It is worth it.... ALSO never ever ever ever attempt to color your own eyebrows it is actual illegal in most states to have even a licensed cosmetologist color your eyebrows.
I don't think it's true that it gives you cancer. That makes no sense, the color will only penetrate your hair, and it wouldn't travel to your scalp and give you cancer. That's ridiculous.


But then again, I'm not a scientist. I'm a hair dresser.





However, coloring your eyebrows should be okay, but it's very important to be completely happy with your new eyebrow color. There's ways to strip color from hair, but if you attempt to do it on your eyebrows, you can get third degree burns. The skin underneath your eyebrows is very thin. That's only if you want to strip the color, however. Just be sure you'll be happy with the ending color.
Hair dye doesn't cause cancer.


Permanent hair dye is pretty safe, bleach can cause your hair to fall out with a lot of uses but dye...not really.


It is safe to dye eyebrows but sometimes it can look a little weird, like different colors with each strand of hair, but usually it's fine and it is safe as long as it doesn't get in your eyes or whatever.
You should not dye your eyebrows using hair color. That is not safe. The best thing to do is to go to an aesthetician, (a person who does waxing, facials etc.) and have it done. If you have someone who does your eyebrows then probably the same person can dye them for you. It costs around $20 to have it done and lasts about as long as an eyebrow wax.





As far as your hair color fading the best thing to do would be to only use shampoo and conditioner designed specifically for color-treated hair. The best ones I have used (in terms of preventing color fade) are: Aquage, Wella, Purology, and Aveda. If you don't want to spend a lot I'm pretty sure the Pantene products are good too. Just make sure it says ';for color -treated hair'; or ';for colored hair';.





As far as safe hair color here's what I can say: I don't know if regular hair dye is unsafe. There is some evidence that it might be but then again women have been dying their hair with chemical colors for at least 70 years now and I haven't heard of that leading to a person's cancer. You just have to decide for yourself. For totally safe and natural permanent hair color you can use henna for reds and a combination of henna and indigo for browns. A really good resource is www.hennaforhair.com. Read all about it before you decide. You need to use body art quality henna. There are also several ';natural'; hair dyes on the market such as Ecocolors. I have seen them in healthfood stores but I don't know anyone who has tried them and I'm frankly suspicious of anything that says it is a natural hair color but that also says it can work in less than an hour. Natural colors usually take 1-4 hours to process.





Oh, and I'm not sure what states the other poster is talking about where dying eyebrows is illegal. It's not in CA. I've been having them done for 10+ years.
