3. Introduction to para phenyl diamine
based Hair dye
• Paraphenyl diamine (PPD) is a key ingredient in permanent hair dyes,
providing vibrant and long-lasting color. This formulation is known
for its effectiveness in covering gray hair and its wide range of color
options.
• Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) is a common chemical compound used
in hair dyes, particularly in permanent hair coloring products.
4. Primary ingredient
Para phenyl diamine
(PPD) is the primary
chemical compound
used in hair dyes.
Colorant properties
PPD is known for its strong and lasting color properties, making
it a popular choice for permanent hair dye formulations.
Chemical structure
The molecular structure
of PPD allows it to
penetrate the hair shaft
and bond with the natural
pigment, resulting in
long-lasting color
Chemical Composition of Paraphenyl Diamine
5. • Para phenyl diamine interacts with hair by penetrating the cuticle and
bonding with the hair protein. This chemical reaction results in the alteration
of hair colour, providing long-lasting dyeing effects. Additionally, the
interaction influences the texture and structure of the hair shaft.
How does Para phenyl Diamine Interact with Hair?
6. • Alkalizing Agents: These ingredients help to open the hair cuticle for better dye
penetration.
• Conditioning Agents: They ensure the hair remains healthy, soft, and manageable
after colouring.
• Emulsifiers: Essential for blending oil and water-based ingredients in the dye
formula.
The Role of Other Ingredients in Hair Dye Formulation
7. Factors Affecting Hair Dye Performance
Hair Porosity
The porosity of the hair affects how
easily it absorbs and retains the dye,
influencing the final color result
Existing Hair Color
The natural color of the hair, as well as
any previous dye treatments, can
impact how the new dye appears
Application Technique
The way the dye is applied, including
sectioning, timing, and saturation,
affects the overall performance and
coverage
8. Safety Considerations When Using Para phenyl
Diamine Based Hair Dye
Follow the instructions for application and
timing to minimize the risk of adverse effects
It's important to perform a patch test to check
for allergic reactions before applying the dye.
Always use gloves to avoid direct skin contact
and prevent any possible irritation
Ensure proper ventilation in the area where the
dye is being applied to avoid inhaling fumes
