PPD free hair colourant

I am looking for a PPD free hair colourant, semi or permenant
as I am becoming increasingly worried about the potential health risks associated with it.

This was confirmed to me when my sisters hair dresser has been told by her insurance company that she is no longer covered for colouring hair with PPD ingredient. It is this ingredient that causes people to have severe reaction where their faces swell etc and in some rare cases death has occured, albeit as I say rare. Women have been seen on such programmes as Daybreak who have suffered such reactions

Head tingling is a sign of an allergic reaction and this happens to me when colouring.
I know this is still quite rare, but it is happening, and I have no intention of allowing my grey to shine through!!.

Hope this is in the right place
