At Taboo Hair Studio, we believe that beauty should never come at the cost of your health—or the health of your hair. That’s why we’re proud to offer ammonia-free and PPD-free hair colour as part of our Organic and Vegan-friendly services. But what does that really mean, and why does it matter? Let’s break down the benefits of making the switch.
Traditional hair colour formulas often contain ammonia, which opens the hair cuticle to allow colour to penetrate. While effective, ammonia can be harsh—causing dryness, scalp irritation, and even breakage over time. Our ammonia-free formulas are gentler and less invasive, helping to preserve your hair’s natural moisture and strength while still delivering beautiful, long-lasting colour.
PPD (paraphenylenediamine) is a common ingredient in many permanent hair dyes, known for helping colour stay vibrant. However, it’s also a well-known allergen that can cause reactions ranging from mild itching to severe irritation. By using PPD-free colour, we significantly lower the risk of allergic responses, making it a safer option—especially for those with sensitive skin or allergy concerns.
With repeated colouring, harsh chemicals can weaken hair over time, leading to dullness, brittleness, and thinning. Ammonia-free and PPD-free products help maintain the integrity of the hair strand, keeping it stronger, shinier, and healthier—even with regular colouring sessions.
If you’ve ever cringed at the strong, unpleasant smell of traditional hair dye, you’re not alone. Ammonia is the culprit behind that sharp scent. Our ammonia-free formulas provide a more pleasant salon experience—without the overwhelming odour—making your visit relaxing from start to finish.
Choosing cleaner colour products isn’t just good for you—it’s good for the environment too. At Taboo Hair Studio, we partner with brands that prioritize eco-conscious practices, cruelty-free formulations, and sustainable ingredients. So when you book a colour service with us, you can feel great about your hair—and your impact.
