Hair coloring can sometimes be harmful due to the substances it contains. Fortunately, as techniques constantly evolve, there are now new ways to color hair without compromising your health or that of your clients. Professional plant-based hair coloring offers a healthy, sustainable, and responsible solution to color hair without damaging it, while also protecting your well-being.
But why is it so beneficial for your health? And why should you absolutely take the leap? Find out the answers in this article!
Plant-based hair coloring is a method that uses natural ingredients, mainly plants, to dye the hair. Powders of henna, indigo, turmeric, and other plants are used to achieve a wide range of shades. These products contain no harsh chemicals or synthetics and are often simply mixed with water to create a coloring paste.
It really is that simple: plants, water, and nothing more. That’s why plant-based hair coloring is such a healthy and beneficial option. So, why not take the step and become a plant-based coloring salon?
Oxidative coloring, also known as conventional coloring, contains dangerous substances that are necessary to color the hair. Among them is para-phenylenediamine (PPD), a substance that allows the coloring agent to penetrate deep into the hair fiber. This is a very hazardous ingredient that can cause allergic reactions or even more serious health issues.
Another commonly used ingredient is hydrogen peroxide, a chemical substance that lightens the natural color of the hair. In addition, other ingredients such as ammonia, silicones, and parabens may also be present to fix and preserve the color.
Of course, formulations vary depending on the brand, and not all colorings are exactly the same. However, the ingredients mentioned above can not only damage your clients’ hair, but also endanger your health. On a daily basis, you run the risk of inhaling harmful vapors, experiencing skin allergies, respiratory problems, and even potentially developing long-term illnesses.
This is why we strongly recommend transforming your salon into a plant-based hair coloring salon.
Complete absence of toxic chemical substances:
Free from harsh chemical ingredients, professional natural hair dye poses no risk to the hair or to overall health. As a hairdresser, you are exposed to these risks on a daily basis, so it is essential to protect and preserve yourself.
Deep hair care:
Plant-based coloring does more than just color the hair. It is the only type of coloring that also nourishes and strengthens it. Hair becomes stronger and healthier. Unlike oxidative coloring, it does not penetrate the hair fiber and therefore does not risk damaging it.
Respect for the environment:
Oxidative coloring affects not only hair and health but also the environment. It pollutes and harms marine ecosystems. Professional plant-based coloring, on the other hand, is biodegradable and respectful of our planet. It contains nothing more than plants and water, for everyone’s well-being.
An innovative service that sets you apart:
There is no doubt, offering natural hair coloring will make your salon stand out from the competition. Although this practice is growing in popularity, professional plant-based coloring salons are still relatively rare compared to those offering oxidative coloring. This is the perfect moment to differentiate yourself!
A reliable and natural composition:
Be careful when choosing a plant-based coloring brand for your salon. Some brands may try to convince you that their products are natural when they are not. We strongly recommend checking the composition in advance to ensure it contains only plants and water.
Proven effectiveness and results:
Before selecting your partner for natural hair coloring, take the time to learn more about the brand. Look for testimonials, reviews, and even before-and-after results of previous colorings. This will allow you to form your own opinion while relying on feedback from other professionals who share your expertise.
Full support from A to Z:
Switching to natural hair dye requires a transition, it doesn’t happen overnight. This method involves a specific technique that must be learned. Plant powders need to be mixed by the hairdresser, which is very different from the ready-to-use oxidative coloring process. That’s why it is essential to find a partner who will guide you through this shift towards natural coloring.
And if you are worried about the price of natural hair dye in salons, thinking that a higher price might scare off clients, don’t be. Given the quality of this method, the price is not considered too high. Clients who decide to switch to plant-based coloring are willing to pay for it, and your profit margin will remain secure.
