I'm looking for a non-henna,ppd & ammonia free hair dye that will last longer than a couple of days. Any ideas? ;)

Ammonia free hair dyes are pretty easy to find. PPD free dyes that aren't on the more temporary side (ie, Manic Panic) are going to be harder to find if you're not interested in henna.

Google came back with this:
http://actbynature.com/ (I must confess I'm highly skeptical of this website's offerings, since they have some pretty erroneous information on henna)
http://www.lavitanuovainc.com/ (appears to be ppd free, no idea on ammonia)

Here's an article that has some dyes that are mostly ppd free and ammonia free (well, I think?), listed at the bottom:

This is interesting. Thanks for posting those links.

Yes, the first one is clearly out of line regarding henna...

The second one does only one permanent dye minus PPD - which is their 'Sanotint Light', and the third one shows Herbatint as the only one without henna or PPD. I'm off to take a closer look at that one... No, I'm going blind. It does contain PPD. Bother!
