that they used at my salon -- after having used it for years, the "sting" from it was getting worse and I felt like I would have an itchy/scaley scalp for days after coloring, they did not change any of the formula and nobody else seemed to have a problem so who knows.

I really like the naturcolor product and it was a revelation how easy it is to color your hair at home -- and how much CHEAPER! All my scalp issues have gone away, I save money, and my hair is in better shape so it's been a good change for me.
