#1 herbs, henna, ‘no-ppd,’ ‘no-ammonia in chemical hair colors
- Chemical hair colors often mislead customers with lot of herbs like aloevera, almond, tea oil, amla. These herbs have no purpose in hair coloring and present in negligible quantity. Any little benefits (if) they offer is temporary
- They actually rely on synthetic chemicals for coloring. Herbs are mostly for marketing
- Black henna just uses a chemical called PPD as original henna can not give black color.
- Colors that mention “no ammonia,” “no-ppd” often use their alternative chemicals such as ethanolamine (amonoethanolamine, or MEA), toluene-2 5-diamine sulfate. But they also work and damage hair similarly.

#2 Just 2 to 10% of almond oils is actually almond oil
75% of almond oil sold by many popular brands is just inexpensive Mineral oil (Liquid Light Perrafin Oil or LLP) which is derived from petroleum.
As per the ingredients, almond oil + mustard oil /other vegetable = ~23%. Still, almond oil percentage is not clear. I guess, it’s just ~10%, otherwise they would clearly mention it. One study says it’s just 2% (don’t know if reliable).
Same is true for amla oils, some herbal shampoos.
