"I discovered Juju after developing a sensitivity to the chemicals in
standard hair dyes, especially PPD. Juju has changed my life. I thought I
was going to go gray cold turkey, but they feature a PPD-free product that
gives very good results - without causing any allergic reaction at all. The
colorists have been incredibly creative in making the product work for me.
Not only do I get great color, I also get a glass of wine and a snug chair
to curl up with a book during the processing."

According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Division of Toxicology in Atlanta, Georgia, ammonia is listed as a hazardous substance which has related negative health effects. Ammonia is irritating to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
Nearly all professional and "box" hair color contain ammonia.
Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia in the air may cause severe burns in your skin, eyes, throat, and lungs. In extreme cases, blindness, lung damage, or death could occur. Breathing lower concentrations will cause coughing and nose and throat irritation.
Juju salon & organics has selected an organic, non-toxic color line manufactured in England, as its exclusive professional color line. The color is ammonia-free and resorcinol-free, with the lowest PPD's of any professional color system. It contains certified organic and natural derived ingredients including organic chamomile and grapeseed oils. Of course, none of its ingredients are tested on animals. We promise that your hair will look and feel healthy, shiny and completely natural. In addition, this amazing and gentle system provides 100% gray coverage.
Conventional hair color, both professional and drugstore brands contain ammonia. Ammonia is a common and inexpensive hair color additive used to allow color molecules to penetrate the hair's cuticle. Because of its caustic properties, ammonia leaves the hair in a compromised, weakened and "roughed-up" condition. Color longevity is also compromised — fading and discoloration will often occur. Our color line uses natural oils and extracts of aloe vera, comfrey, orange and grapefruit - instead of ammonia to soften the hair's cuticle. A low, warm heat is used in tandem with the oils to help imbue the hair with rich and permanent color.
Hair colored at juju is left silky, soft, and strong with radiant tones and no worries of fading.
