100% Ammonia Free

• Ammonia can open up the pores of the skin and staining can occur. Since Organic Color Systems is not made with ammonia, little to no staining occurs on the skin.

• Skin irritation and burning on the scalp is significantly reduced, due to the pharmaceutical grade peroxide which we use and the absence of ammonia.

• Ammonia degrades the hairs protein structure which can lead to banding, hot roots and colors that fade off tone. With Organic Colors Systems there is no banding or hot roots and colors fade on tone!

• Plus, a more pleasant salon experience is created, since there are no harmful ammonia fumes that can make breathing difficult or cause eyes to swell and tear.

• Organic Color Systems also uses the lowest level of PPDs (pigment) possible to effectively color the hair. Our average is 0.6%, as opposed to the legal maximum within the European Union of 6%.

The pH Factor

The hair is left healthy. Organic Color Systems does not take the hair as far from its natural or isometric point on the pH scale as chemical colors do.

Under The Microscope

The hair samples pictured here are from exactly the same natural level 5 virgin hair. The image on the top shows hair colored with Organic Color Systems level 6 and 20 Volume Activator. The image on the bottom shows the same hair colored with a leading manufacturer’s ammonia-based color, using a level 6 and their corresponding 20 Volume developer. As you can see from the photographs Organic Color Systems does not disrupt the integrity of the hairs cuticle layer. In addition, the delicate protein/moisture balance of the hair is preserved. This means improved texture, more shine, greater fade resistance, and color that fades on tone.
