Hair Dyes and introduction of a revolutionary hair color Shampoo

Abstract

Covering grey hairs has been a common practice among men and women for many

years. They approach a beautician to get their hair colored as it is a very tedious process that

requires professional assistance. There are several types of hair dyes or hair colors available

worldwide. However, in India the traditional method followed is to apply henna on head.

Majority of the hair colouring products instructs to follow a long and tiresome process and they

require professional approach. Those are not for domestic use. It is not an easy exercise to use

such products. One must need some other’s help to apply. Especially women, for their long hair,

dyeing is an effortful one. There arose some questions as to whether there is any coloring

method that can avoid staining of hands and skin, the bowl and comb that we use, one which is

very user friendly and convenient just like we use a Shampoo. So to answer all these questions

my research ended up in the domestic use hair colour with easier application process.

Introduction

Right from the Roman Empire

period hair dyeing was one of the most

popular ways of people to ornament

themselves.

Post liberalization, Indians have caught on

to various fashion trends and one such

trend was changing grey hair to black. They

consider healthy black hair as a sign of their

youthfulness.

There were many methods of hair dyeing

been followed in the World. The aim of this

research study is to describe about my

attempt to introduce a revolutionary hair

colour that can make the process quick and

user friendly.

Science Behind Hair Greying

Grey hairs are very normal

symptoms of human’s aging process.

Hair colour is produced by cells known as

melanocytes. These melanocytes secrete a

pigment that is absorbed into the growing

hair fibers to give colour.

Hair colour depends on the presence and

ratios of two groups of Melanins:

Eumelanins (brown and black pigments)

and Pheomelanins (red and yellow

pigments). Variations in the ratio of these

pigments can produce a large number of

colors and tones.

Human hair growth is cyclical. At the end of

each hair cycle the pigment producing

melanocytes become damaged and die. If

the melanocyte stem cell reservoir at the

top of the hair follicle can recharge the bulb,

this keeps pigment production going. But

when the reservoir of stem cells is

exhausted, pigment production stops and

the hair turns grey.

Greying of hair can be dependent on one’s

diet, stress, life style, health conditions and

sometimes can be due to genetic reasons.

Premature Grey Hairs

It is normal for hair color to change,

as people age. But white hair can appear at

almost any time in life. Even teenagers and

people in their 20s may notice strands of

white hair.

Premature greying affected the socio-

cultural spheres of many lives. Females

were more prone to developing premature

greying of hair.

Vitamin deficiencies can cause hair to turn

prematurely grey. Genetics, stress, smoking

etc. can also contribute to hair greying.

The dyeing of hair is an ancient art that

involves treatment of the hair with various

chemical compounds. Back in the day,

people applied some kajal or kohl on the

hair to make it look naturally black within

minutes. There were dyes obtained from

plants. E.g.: Henna.

Applying Henna is a traditional hair dyeing

remedy used by Indians, Middle East and

Africa. Commercial versions of cosmetic

henna powder are available all across the

globe. Such products can include metal

salts, oils or waxes or some contents which

may be allergens. Gradually, the natural

dyes got replaced by synthetic ones, as they

colored the fabrics better and for longer

durations. These later were developed into

dyes for colouring human hair. They

created a black hair dye. However, it was

discovered that it was too toxic to use.

Hair Dyes and Hair Colors

 Hair dyes are harder or harsher

products than hair colors.

 Use of these chemicals can result in

a range of adverse effects, including

temporary skin irritation, hair

breakage, skin discoloration,

unexpected hair color results

Chemical based hair dyes

Not much changed until the 1800s,

when English chemist William Henry

Perkin made an accidental discovery that

changed hair dye forever. In an attempt to

generate a cure for malaria, Perkins created

the first synthesized dye in 1863. The color

was mauve and appropriately named

Mauveine. Soon after, his chemistry

professor August Hoffman derived a color-

changing molecule from Mauveine (called

para-phenylenediamine, or PPD), and this

invention of this synthetic dye resulted in

further research and development in hair

colors, it remains the foundation for most

permanent hair dyes today.

Difficulties in Applying Conventional

Hair Dyes

Starting from temporary hair dyes,

users are forced to follow a tedious process

to cover their grey hairs. Many of them tries

hair coloring and dyeing at home and it

goes horrible.

One must be very cautious about the

proportion of mixing colorant and

developer. If you happen to mix wrong

quantities the entire process goes in vain

and ends up with disappointing

unfavorable results.

The ammonia in hair dye can leave an

unpleasant smell that lasts for several

hours or even days. One may need a

facemask sometimes to avoid suffocation.

Though in a salon or at home, there are at

chances that the users will have applied

permanent hair dyes and looks too dark

and unusual.

One certainly needs assistance to apply hair

dye to a satisfactory level.

Modern hair dye is obviously useful at

coloring hair. Unfortunately, when dyeing

hair at home, one can often run into the

issue of hair color stains on the skin.

Hair dyeing is such a tough task for woman.

It takes a long time to colour their long hair

strands.

No hair dye in the World offers perfect

coloring experience.

One needs a pair of hand gloves, bowl and a

brush for preparing a mixture, a towel for

protecting the body skin from stains. It has

to be noted that wearing gloves does not

protect the scalp, lips, ears, and face

especially in case of beard and moustache

coloring. Even a small drop of dye can stain

your skin. Regular and prolonged exposure

to dyes can block the pores on the scalp,

that can adversely affect hair health. It is

also a life threatening one.

VIP Hair Colour Shampoo – A Revolution

After years of My extensive research

studies I introduced, for the 1st time in

India, VIP hair color shampoo. It breaks

down the complexity of hair dyes to a

simplified hair color shampoo.

The VIP hair color is not a conventional hair

dye; it is a hair color shampoo. You don’t

need any brush, bowl or gloves while using

this product.

The VIP hair color shampoo is the first of its

kind in the whole world.

VIP is a unique hair coloring formula which

is actually a three-in-one product

containing a shampoo, a hair colour and a

conditioner. Unlike other hair colors, to use

VIP Hair Colour Shampoo, one doesn’t need

gloves, and it doesn’t leave any stains, so

not even a brush or a bowl is required. It

can be easily applied with bare hands.

Upon use, it leaves a fresh fragrance similar

to regular shampoos, and it’s completely

tear-free. Of course, upon using, it gives

amazing results in just 15 minutes, and

gives 100% grey coverage. It’s unisex, and

both men and women may use it.

Another unique feature of this product is

that it is of 5 in 1 use. It is the FIRST time in

the World that the same hair colour

shampoo can be used for covering grey

hairs on head, beard, moustache, arms and

chest.

The specially designed 2 in 1 container

enables hassle-free application of the

4

product. The container design has been

registered.

VIP Hair Colour Shampoo gives the best

results for any hair length.

How to Use?

VIP Hair Colour Shampoo doesn’t

include any pre preparation or hardship of

complex application procedure.

ï‚· Please ensure that hair is completely

dry without oil and dust

ï‚· Wet both the hands thoroughly

ï‚· Take the required quantity of

shampoo in wet hands

ï‚· There are two different types of

shampoos in the container, mix

them well using wet hands until you

get white foam

ï‚· Apply the foam where grey hair

dominates

ï‚· Wash hands using soap or hand

wash within 3 minutes immediately

after application

ï‚· Wait for 15 minutes

ï‚· Wash hair/take bath after 15

minutes

ï‚· There is no need to use any other

shampoo or conditioner while using

this product

As it’s a product without any

ammonia, it’s devoid of any side effects and

is completely safe to use. It’s quite

innovative, as generally in the market you

would find a hair colour, a shampoo and a

conditioner separately, but never as a single

product. It can be used like a regular

shampoo with bare hands, unlike a

traditional hair dye which requires mixing

of some chemicals while wearing gloves.

Generally, hair dyes cause toxicity when

used, as they not only damage the skin, but

also cause allergic reactions in some cases.

Conclusion

Covering grey hairs using

conventional hair dyes was always a tough

game. Messing up around high

concentration of chemicals, high time

consumption and disappointing results

makes the hair dye application process

really a bad experience for customers. The

product VIP Hair Colour Shampoo is the

FIRST product in the World that makes the

user experience the easiest. The highlight of

the product is that hair coloring without

any gloves and with no stains on skin was

quiet impossible till date. I have introduced

this product to resolve all the complexities

that are associated with hair coloring and to

make the process an easiest one. This can

boost up the confidence and youthfulness of

the user.
