Plant-based hair coloring requires special maintenance. Indeed, since it is composed of plant powders and water, it must be maintained with the right products. To go deeper into this subject, we will look back at plant-based color itself and advise you as best as possible on the aftercare and on the maintenance.
As you probably know, plant-based dye relies on natural and not chemical actives, which offer a much gentler alternative, respectful of the hair and of the planet. It uses ingredients such as henna, indigo and other dyeing plants. It is THE gentle coloring method, which preserves health as well as the environment.
Plant-based color makes it possible to offer your clients tailor-made solutions following a hair diagnosis and a complete analysis of their desires and needs. Indeed, hair analysis is essential because their condition and their history can influence the final result.
It is even essential to carry out a hair detox before proceeding with a plant-based coloring. Detox helps to eliminate any chemical residues present on the hair as well as to prepare the hair for the plant-based coloring.
At Hairborist, detox comes in the form of a 4-in-1 green clay mask which will help to get rid of all chemical residues, purify, prepare for plant-based coloring and regulate sebum production. In short, it is a true multifunction mask which will be your ally in the hair salon!
By becoming a plant-based colorist, you will adopt gestures that you did not necessarily expect, and it is a whole protocol that opens up to you as well as new ways of doing things.
Plant-based hair dye already requires upstream treatment to prepare the hair, so what about the other treatments?
To guarantee impressive results for your clients, we do not do things halfway. Our specialty is the oil treatment before shampooing, this is when the hair absorbs all the necessary benefits. In our opinion, this is the step not to be neglected, the most important step to achieve lasting results.
Before or after a plant-based coloring, your client must absolutely go through the oil bath with miraculous oils to maintain the plant-based colors.
It all starts with the choice of a natural oil base:
Then, this base must be combined with one of our special synergies that adapt to the plant-based hair color:
To carry out this magical oil bath, simply mix 20 ml of the oil base with 10 drops of the chosen aromactive, according to the plant-based coloring and the hair type of your client.
To cleanse without damaging the plant-based hair color, it is important to choose a gentle shampoo.
The shampoos Daily Clean or Sensity are perfect for maintaining hair with plant-based dyes. They are mild and non-aggressive. For your clients with fine hair, we recommend our daily shampoo Daily Clean. And for those with thicker hair, it is better to choose Sensity, our shampoo for sensitive scalps. Both protect the plant-based hair dye while promoting light, fresh, and soft hair.
We have developed a conditioner specially adapted to plant-based hair colors. This is Natural Color, a spray conditioner based on organic apple cider vinegar. For all your clients who have just had a plant-based hair coloring, this is THE perfect treatment to maintain it. It naturally helps to fix the pigments of the plant-based hair colors to ensure a radiant color over time.
On top of that, it hydrates without weighing down and makes the hair shiny and radiant. The spray use allows for more lightness and freshness! You will love using it on your clients, and they will adopt it too.
All these treatments can be offered to your clients before or after their plant-based hair colors. As a hairdresser, you will thus be able to explain to them the importance of maintaining their hair with the right products, and especially why it is absolutely necessary to take care of a plant-based color with natural products.
We always maintain the natural with the natural, to preserve the color, to keep the hair healthy, or even to avoid certain skin problems that can appear when the right routine is not used.
And if your clients want to follow your recommendations to the letter, know that all the products mentioned are available for resale or in bulk!
