Help... How bad is Ammoniun Chloride In a Semi hair rinse?

[LadyZ]

Is this bad to use if you are relaxed?...

 

[Artemis]

Ammonia is what allows the color to last longer than one shampoo. Peroxide in hair color is what makes permanent color so damaging to relaxed hair. Ammonia is a necessary evil for depositing the color. So just stay on top of your moisture/protein levels, and you should be fine.

I just got a touch-up Thursday, Is this rinse safe to use on Tuesday?

The ammonium chloride is listed 18th in the 27 ingredients in this rinse...

Semi-permanent color can even be used the same day as a touch-up, so yes to your question.

You should try searching "semi-permanent" or "rinse". There are plenty of threads on what other ladies have done.

Personally LadyZ, I would just try another rinse.

I wouldn't risk it. Ammonia is one of the harshest things you can use on your relaxed strands.

Try Adore rinse (in the purple bottle). It is my favorite.

I don't know if it is the Adore that makes my hair shiny, but when I flat iron it it is shiny. I think it's moreso my serum (aveda brilliant) and leave-in (sunsilk TLC cream).

I like it because the color is very rich. Now, the day after I apply (I airdry with a silk scarf) I do see the color staining on the scarf (not on the pillow tho). I switched to a black scarf now tho.

But thank gawd, it doesn't stain on shirts or my pillowcases.

Just curious...What color are you wanting your hair to be?

Ok I might have to try it out and see what it do

My bad LadyZ, Locks is right a/b the ammonia. Silly me, I am doing too much at one time. Ammonia is usu. in permanent colors and that's what can make relaxed hair so dry afterwards (along w/the peroxide). It's got mad staying power, and you have to stay on your moisture/protein levels or else your hair goes bye-bye. Esp. if you wanted to go lighter. Peroxide is what gives the color more staying power, longer than one shampoo.

So yeah, run away from the ammonia.

Again, sorry a/b the mix-up erplexed
