EP 341: What Ammonia, Peroxide, And MEA Actually Do To Your Hair

Send Danise a Text Message.Want gorgeous color without the damage spiral? We break down hair dye like real people, not lab manuals—what ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, and MEA actually do, why micro-pigments changed the game, and how to keep your cuticle calm while your color looks rich and glossy. We start with simple color science—how light and pigment create what you see—then move into how permanent color really works inside the hair. You’ll learn the difference between ammonia and ethanolamine, why modern low-alkalizer formulas can feel gentler, and how developer volume controls both lift and risk. From shade selection to aftercare, this episode is a playbook for safer choices. We cover low-lift approaches like demi-permanent glossing, deeper and warmer tones that look dimensional without bleach, and the protein-moisture-lipid balance that keeps elasticity and shine. Practical tips include keeping developers at 5–10 volume for fragile hair, spacing out highlights, using weekly masks, and leveraging bond builders when it truly counts. By matching the chemistry to your hair’s current condition, you can color smarter, keep your cuticle smoother, and enjoy results that feel like self-care rather than compromise.If this helped you breathe easier about color, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s nervous about dye, and leave a quick review to help more hair lovers find the show.Don’t miss the Good Hair Energy Box!
