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.

Besides these parameters, we have also mentioned the UV filters that are not accepted in scientific sphere at all, because the benefit they give is much less than the harms. The tests done on animals are also included in the list. This is not acceptable in our opinion.
