Allergies

One of the active ingredients is PPD, p-Phenylenediamine, a common hair dye ingredient in most commercial men's and women's permanent hair coloring products. Studies have shown that a small segment of the population may experience some allergy to this ingredient,[4] which may include minor irritation, rashes and swelling, though severe reactions are rare.[5] Manufacturer directions instruct users to do a 48-hour skin allergy test prior to use to detect and avoid any reactions.

Advertising

Just for Men often sponsors sports events, specific examples including the PGA Tour's "Right on Target Shot" segment and WWE's "Rewind" and "Slam of the Week".
