Response to highlights (bleach without toner)

Hello!

First of all, have you been tested for possible allergies to hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and Potassium persulphate? All of these are usually found in bleach and as far as I know chemically not related to PPD itself.
Have you been tested for PPD?

I'm allergic to PPD and I use "pure" bleach without any toner what so ever.
I don't use any cap but I avoid getting it on my scalp since bleach burns regardless of allergies.

Non permanent dyes (except for henna) almost always contain coal-tar or azodyes.
Some people (10% if I'm not mistaken) with PPD-allergies react to those aswell.
Don't know if it's risky (regarding possible future cross-reaction) or not to subject oneself to these dyes, but in my case I've decided not to take the chance.
Also I kind of like my new blonde look wink.gif
