Avoid Hair Products with Colorants

A big concern for anyone with gray hair seeking quality products is making sure the product won’t turn your hair yellow.

It is essential to read the ingredients carefully when considering any product you mean to add to your regimen.

Because gray hair has very little or no pigment, it can easily pick up color.

To avoid this possibility, do your best to ensure your products do not contain any added colorants.

Generally, colorants will include 3-part names. like FD&C Yellow No. 5, or will have the color and number designation as simply something like Yellow No. 5.

Ingredients labeled like this are subject to FDA batch certification. Colorants not subject to the FDA’s batch certification rules will still have similar labeling.
