“This product has changed my life due to extreme PPD allergies. Would highly recommend this product”

If you are allergic to PPD hair dye, you can NOT colour with ANY “permanent” hair colours.

NoLimits

Truly PPD FREE hair Colours

No Limits colours use direct dyes rather than the oxidative pigments used in permanent hair colours. This makes them a suitable alternative for customers who are sensitive or allergic to oxidative hair-colour ingredients such as PPD.

100% free from PPD, PTD and other oxidative colour pigments.

No mixing is required — simply apply No Limits straight from the bottle. As it is a semi-permanent colour, you can keep any unused product for your next colour refresh.

Please note that colour results will vary depending on your natural hair colour and the condition and porosity of your hair. No Limits works particularly well on pre-lightened or grey hair, where the colour can be more visible and vibrant.

Each colour is supplied in a 150 ml bottle and requires a reusable pump, which is sold separately.

Please note: We cannot accept returns if the bottle has been opened or used.

PPD allergy and other hair-colour ingredients

A product labelled “PPD-free” does not necessarily mean that it is free from all hair-dye allergens. People with a known PPD allergy should be aware of other oxidative hair-colour ingredients that may be structurally related to PPD and, in some cases, may cause cross-reactions:

PPD – p-phenylenediamine (paraphenylenediamine)
PTD – p-toluenediamine / toluene-2,5-diamine
PTDS – toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate
p-Aminophenol – 4-aminophenol
m-Aminophenol – 3-aminophenol
HPPS – hydroxyethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate
Me-PPD – 2-methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine

Important: Being allergic to PPD does not necessarily mean you will react to every ingredient listed above. However, some are chemically related to PPD and can cause cross-reactions in sensitised individuals. If you have previously experienced a hair-colour allergy, we recommend consulting a dermatologist or other appropriate healthcare professional before using any hair-colouring product.

Grey Coverage

If you are not allergic to PPD, we do recommend Organic Colour Systems permanent hair colours as they are indeed permanent. No Limits is not a permanent solution and will fade over time, and might not provide as consistent results as permanent colors.

No Limits can effectively cover greys, but we cannot guarantee its performance as everyone’s hair is different. Grey hair, in particular, varies in porosity, with some strands absorbing color well, while others are more resistant. The color may fade quicker after washes and might not take well in some cases.

For first-time customers, we always recommend trying No Limits to see how it works for you!

From our records, we have hundreds of returning customers. Hardly any customers contacted us reporting that it did not work for them at all. Some said it worked, but they wished it lasted longer. The majority are extremely satisfied with No Limits, as it provides the only alternative for those allergic to PPD in hair dye.

Warning

No Limits colours use PPD-free direct dyes, which can stain anything they come into contact with.
Please wear suitable hair-colouring gloves and protect your skin and hairline with a barrier such as Vaseline® or another suitable barrier cream.
Please also protect surrounding surfaces, including walls, furniture, sinks and worktops, as No Limits colours can cause stubborn stains that may be difficult or impossible to remove.
Take extra care when applying and rinsing the colour.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use

Preparation:

Conduct a patch test 48 hours before application to ensure no allergic reaction.
Wash your hair with Organic Colour Systems Charcoal Shampoo to remove any build-up. Do not use conditioner.
Towel dry your hair to remove excess moisture but leave it damp.

Mixing:

No mixing with developer is required as it’s a ready-to-use semi-permanent color.

Application:

Put on gloves to protect your hands.
Section your hair for even application.
Apply the No Limits colour directly to damp hair using a tint brush, comb, or gloved hands.
Ensure even coverage from roots to ends.

Processing Time:

Leave the colour on for 20 to 30 minutes. For more intense results, you can leave it on for up to 40 minutes.
You can cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap to maintain moisture and enhance colour penetration.

Rinsing:

Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
Do NOT shampoo your hair immediately after rinsing out the colour.
Apply a conditioner if desired, preferably one that is sulfate-free and designed for colour-treated hair. We recommend Aqua Boost conditioners.

Aftercare:

Use colour-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. We recommend Organic Colour Systems Aqua Boost shampoos and conditioners.
Avoid excessive heat styling.
