Of course we should take into consideration that, the colors, for example, containing ammonia, give a very rich color to you hair, but at the same time they are allergic. On the other hand, the influence of ecologically clear hair color is not that much dangerous for you, but these colors are very expensive and don’t give as good result as the ones that contain ammonia.
