Hydrogen peroxide itself is a harmful chemical, but it is diluted before being used on the hair so only a small amount goes on your head. As many people associate hydrogen peroxide with damage to the hair, some companies are looking to use alternatives. Bleaching the hair just isn?t possible without an oxidising agent such as hydrogen peroxide. I personally feel the PPD in dye is more damaging.
