“ PPD is found in many semi-permanent and permanent hair dyes, and is especially common in darker colors like black and brunette. 
While hair dyes with PPD are safe to use if you follow the safety instructions, you should avoid them if you're allergic or sensitive to PPD. You can check the ingredients on the package or contact the manufacturer to see if a hair dye contains PPD. You can also do a patch test to check for an allergic reaction. 
If you're allergic to PPD, you can try a hair dye that's PPD-free, like EcoColors. ”

If you go to a reputable salon with professionally trained hair stylists your hair will not be damaged.   Some of you are ridiculous.  [/quote]

Um…if you are LIGHTENING your hair, which is what highlighting is, yes it does damage your hair over time.  There is no way around that, “organic” or not.  The lightening agents are damaging.

But that isn’t really the point, at least, it isn’t for me, if I was weighing whether to let my 12 yr old get highlights. It’s about how they view themselves.  Their hair will never have prettier natural highlights than it does right now-through early 20s.  Letting them get highlights feeds into their thoughts that their natural hair isn’t pretty enough, that they aren’t pretty enough- if only they had highlights, then their hair would be pretty.  They will get conditioned to that thought as they get highlights and will keep wanting it, because without them, they will feel like they don’t look as good [/quote]
