Thanks Anna,

I am trying to find a salon near me that uses OCS, but when I did a “chat” with OCS, he indicated he could only give me 4 phone numbers to call at a time – not a full list of Chicagoland salons. The first number I called didn’t answer and had a non-discript answering machine message – they have called me back twice and hang up when I answer…

I’ll keep looking though.

Thank you so much Anna for your response . I also want to thank Steve for providing the steps for the patch test. I have Dermatitis and that I am allergic to PPD. This column (Anna’s Green talk) is wonderful and very educational! God Bless YOU all!

Thanks Kim, there are parabens, toluene, resorcinol,and petrolatum it the product. Red flags. There are a few hair colors like OCS that are reorcinol free. It seems like they are using toluene as their PPD. I warned about those ingredients in one of the paragraphs above. Check out the Skin Deep database to see about the ingredients. The link is above.
