Understanding Ammonia in Beauty Products

We all know ammonia is a cleaner and is also found in our tried and true hair color. Yep, ammonia is a common ingredient in hair dyes, playing a crucial role in changing the color of your locs. It's responsible for lifting your hair's natural pigment to allow the new color to take hold.


Did you know that ammonia, when used in hair dyes, can release strong fumes that have the potential to irritate your eyes and respiratory system? Probably! One of the first things we learned about ammonia from our mamas when cleaning was, 'DON'T sniff the ammonia!' If you've ever felt your eyes water or experienced a sharp smell while dyeing your hair, you might have already encountered the effects of ammonia.


While we all love a change in hair color, it's essential to consider the potential side effects. Excessive exposure to ammonia fumes can irritate your eyes and make you cough or experience breathing difficulties. It's not just a minor inconvenience; it's about your comfort and well-being.


The irritation caused by ammonia might be temporary, but it's still crucial to acknowledge these effects. Frequent exposure to ammonia can potentially worsen respiratory conditions in those with sensitivities. Additionally, if ammonia comes into contact with your skin, it can lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions, adding another layer of concern.

So, how can you achieve that stunning hair color without risking eye and respiratory discomfort? Look for hair dyes that advertise as ammonia-free. Many brands offer safer alternatives that give you vibrant results without the unwanted side effects of ammonia.


All of Nae Nae's Naturals products and packaging, from shampoos to conditioners and moisturizers, are all natural, chemical-free, and vegan friendly. Even better, our flagship product the Hair Boost is Handmade with 19 all natural essential oils and butters that includes rosemary and vitamin E.


I urge you to make informed choices when selecting beauty products. Opt for natural alternatives to protect your entire body from potential harm. Your beauty regimen should enhance your natural radiance, not compromise your health.


Remember, your hair and body deserve the best care possible, and that includes using products that prioritize your well-being.

Have always loved your products!

I started using your products about four years ago, my hair grew like crazy. I had to keep coloring it to keep the gray out, but decided to go Natural, my gray came in beautifully, and my hair is still growing. Thank you Nae Nae.

Amazing Hair Boost!!!!!

Hair Boost cream or serum. It's doesn't matter which one you select they both work great. I've been using Hair Boost since losing my hair to chemo/radiation in 2020 and it has done wonders for me. I recommend it to everyone!!! Thx Donya D

I normally wear my hair in the two strands twist without or without hair added. My edges became so thin, my hair would tangle so much be so hard to untangle and I have tried many hair products to make my hair nice. I want it beautiful.
