Chemical Free Plant-Based Natural Hair Color
There are a lot of reasons people dye their hair- an upcoming vacation, a big date, or just getting tired of seeing those roots growing in. For a long time, dyeing your hair meant using a commercial hair color laden with chemicals like peroxide, ammonia, bleach and other toxic personal care ingredients. I’m happy to say that there is a hair color that works without putting toxins into your body. After a long hunt for a natural hair dye, I found it just in time for summer!
It’s made by Advanced Cosmetic Technologies, and it’s fully plant-based (very vegan-friendly), and it’s also made without animal testing. It comes in thirteen different shades, such as Chocolate Mohogany (my fav), Natural Light Golden Blonde, Intense Medium Copper Blonde and Medium Natural Brown, to name a few. The full ingredient lists are available online, so you can check to see exactly what you’re going to be putting in your body before you buy it.
Plant-based hair dyes work in a different way. Unlike regular hair color (which damages the hair shaft in order to deposit the color), Advanced Cosmetic Technologies’ offering uses a patented color process that minimizes damage to the hair. The dyes are semi-permanent, lasting up to twenty washes, so there’s no big color commitment. If you’re new to coloring or don’t know which shade to choose, the company’s website has an FAQ section where you can find answers.
You’ll be happy to know that all of Advanced Cosmetic Technologies’ shipping materials and hair dye containers are made from 80% post-consumer content, and they are made by companies that are responsible in their energy consumption. With natural hair dye, you can get the color you want while being kind to your body and the environment.
