Are we talking aboutcoloring ?
As it is attracting more and more interest and customers who want to take care of their hair without giving up on fashion trends or changing their colour whenever they feel like it, we decided to prepare a complete dossier on this subject.
At Biocoiff', we have been practising it for 15 years now and it no longer holds any secrets for us and all our professionals who have chosen our methods and natural products for the hair.
1. The principle of the coloring plant : its components
The coloring is envied by more and more people and coming from more and more different backgrounds.
The green wave and environmental issues make customers want to find natural products to take care of their to take care of their hair. The use of dye plantsand ayurvedic plants andhot water are the only elements necessary to make a color for hair.
This is why coloring is recommended for people suffering from allergies or under heavy medication (e.g. chemotherapy) (ex: chemotherapy) as well as to pregnant women.
2. The steps of the coloring plant at the salon
All customers agree that coming to a hair salon that works exclusively with organic products changes their view of the hairdresser completely.
To achieve THE perfect plant coloring , several necessary steps are scrupulously respected.
2.1 First step: Diagnosis
Any coloring plant starts with the diagnosis of diagnosis of the hair. It will allow to determine with the customer, the most appropriate care and the type of coloring desired.
The Biocoiff' biocolorists propose as well a to change your hair color colorto cover white hair or to give to give highlights by proceeding to a highlight with white clay. Biocoiff' professionals are used to repair hair abused by chemical colorings or tests not always conclusive. or tests not always conclusive.
2.2 Second step: Clay mask shampoo
Before starting a coloring , we start by washing them with a clay mask shampoo with a clay mask shampoo. The clays are minerals containing more or less silica. They have the property to absorb and eliminate toxins. The clay used in shampoo and mask allows to remove all chemical residues which obstruct the fiber capillary. Clay acts in depth and purifies the hair. When we go from coloring chemical to coloring vegetable, the shampoo mask clay will clean the hair in depth.
The first coloring plant that will be made, however, is likely to disgorge more quickly. This is a normal effect that will not be repeated at the next appointment. We prefer white clay, also called kaolin powderbefore a coloring, because it is less aggressive for the scalp.
At Biocoiff', we systematically use a shampoo with three clays formulated by our laboratory.
2.3 Third step: the application of the color plant
The coloring is done on clean hair. Once washed and partially dried, the colorist will mix the powders to obtain the desired shade with water heated to about 70°. Demineralized water is recommended because it does not contain lead, chlorine or mineral salts such as magnesium or calcium.
He will then mix them until he gets a smooth paste without lumps. Once it reaches the temperature of 37°, he will coat all the hair starting from the roots to the tips.
2.4 Step 4: Installation of coloring under heat
Once the hair is covered and wrapped in a transparent film, it is left to set under a heated steam helmet so that the plant pigments can act more effectively. The application time varies from one client to another, but since coloring is softer, the application time is longer. It can vary from 30 to 90 minutes.
2.5 Step 5: Rinse with water
The time has come to discover the result by going through the rinse tank. We rinse a coloring vegetal until the water becomes perfectly clear.
2.6 Step 6: Aftercare color with ylang-ylang
After rinsing the coloring plant-basedorganic hairdressers recommend applying a ylang-ylang mask. The essential oil obtained from the fragrant flowers of Cananga odorata is recognized for its its cosmetological properties.
When added to a hair mask, ylang-ylang will :
- Tone the hair
- Improving growth
- Increase their shine
- Curbing their fall
A ylang-ylang mask will also help to fix the color and it will preserve its radiance. If you leave it on for about 20 minutes, a ylang-ylang mask will have a remarkable effect on your hair. It is possible to make your own ylang-ylang treatment or mask at home, by mixing a neutral shampoo or neutral henna with ylang-ylang essential oil.
At Biocoiff', we offer a ready-made ylang-ylang conditioner. It is used on towel-dried hairstarting at tips and working up to the roots. On massage the scalp gently and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes between 15 and 30 minutes before rinsing. The hair is easily untangled and can be dried and styled.
2.7 Step 7: The Final Result!
Those who speak best about the benefits of coloring are the clients of Biocoiff'.
Since its inception, this process has been very successful. It allows you to obtain the desired color and gives you the assurance that it will age well. The hair remains beautiful and shiny. The color does not fade and will even have a patina, so that the problem of demarcation during regrowth is avoided. It is easier to space out the sessions at the hairdresser's to do a root recovery.
3. Differences between coloring and coloring
This is where we come in THE big topic.
In 1907, Eugène Schueller developed the first synthetic hair dye and forty years later, the Schwarzkopf company marketed the first consumer chemical coloring , "Poly Color".
3.1 The chemical coloring
Nowadays, chemical hair dyes use :
- Oxidising hair dyes
- Direct hair dyes
- Metal salts
- Traditional or natural dyes
The oxidant-based dyes include three chemical agents which will interact to give a specific color . Their use is authorized on condition that they to respect a concentration rate mentioned on the packaging of the coloring for hair. The effectiveness of colorings chemicals is no longer to be proven to dye the hair. All shades are possibleincluding the most original ones to make strands blue, green or purple.
There are three ranges of colorings chemicals available in the shops and hairdressers:
- The colorings permanent
They act by oxidation by combining hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. They penetrate inside the hair by spreading the scales to dye the hair in depth. Ammonia is sometimes replaced by ethanolamine, which is less irritating, but still attacks the scalp.
- The colorings semi-permanent
They are less aggressive for the hair. Without ammonia, they do not penetrate the hair, but cover it. The color will fade with each wash. It allows to obtain highlights and covers 50% of white hair.
- The colorings temporary chemical
They are formulated from synthetic agents. They revive the shine of a color or add a touch of fantasy. With the coloring chemical, the hair sees all the colors, literally and figuratively.
Although professionals can carry out balayage, strands and tye & die and all possible dyes, chemical dyeing based on oxidising products and synthetic pigments is no less aggressive for the hair.
They devitalize the fiber capillary in an irreversible way. The hair becomes dull, soft and fragile. They can cause irritation, even allergies or the appearance of eczema in people sensitive to certain chemical components. This explains the consumer's warning to do a test 48 hours before applying a chemical dye.
All Biocoiff' hairdressers are professional hairdressers who regularly follow training courses to master our product ranges and techniques.
For individuals, we have put together a very practical booklet that serves as an application guide. It is delivered following an online diagnosis of the hair to determine the most appropriate tone and avoid ending up with green strands or a pretty carrot tone... With Biocoiff', you can start with confidence in the coloring and maintain it to keep your shade intact.
Now let's review the major clichés about coloring .
- Who is it suitable for?
Whether you have straight or frizzy hair, whether you are a brunette, redhead or blond, you can use the coloring . It is suitable for both women and men.
This type of coloring is recommended for people who are allergic to the components of the chemical colorings . It is also the coloring recommended for those who have been treated by chemotherapy.
- The coloring plant does not lighten
What is meant by "clarifying"?
If you have dark hair, it will be impossible to get a light blonde with an organic coloring . This requires a prior bleaching of the hair to dye it in the desired shade. On the other hand, if you have a light base (gray hair, salt and pepper, dark blond) it becomes feasible. From golden blond to light blond, everything is possible.
The coloring plant does not have the capacity to lighten a very dark base color or to produce pastel colors (pink, blue, purple...). On the other hand, the professionals of Biocoiff' salons will know how to realize a luminous highlight on blond hair or structuring a color to give it depthwhile taking care of the hair. They have developed the highlight mineral with white clay to lighten the hair without damaging it.
-
The coloring plant is permanent
"The coloring plant, it does not last!". Everyone who practices it has heard this before. It is of course false!
If it is carried out with quality plant-based powders by scrupulously respecting the protocol a coloring lasts. It will not disgorge like a chemical coloring .
On the other hand, it has a patina and the vegetable pigments will continue to make the hair shine, especially if you maintain your color by washing the hair with a PH neutral shampoo.

The coloring plant and white hair
We often hear: " coloring does not cover white hair "This is obviously not true! The vegetable dye covers 100% of the white hair, even if it is porous.
The other advantage of coloring is that it covers white hair with a transparent effect. So that when the hair grows back, the demarcation between the colored hair and the regrowth is more blurred than with a chemical coloring . The unsightly bar effect does not occur.
Finally, when a hairdresser prepares his coloring, he takes into account the nature of the hair and the amount to be covered.
- The coloring plant acts as a care
As we have seen previously, the coloring is made by mixing dye plants, ayurvedic plants and water. The plants entering the composition are recognized for their beneficial properties. They nourish the hair, thicken it and revitalize it.
The coloring is much more than a dye. It is a a hair care that works over the course of colorings and satisfies clients who regain the quality of hair they had before they were damaged by more corrosive chemical products and additives.

6.1 Stop shampooing too often!
You should absolutely avoid washing your hair for 3 days after having made an organic color .
As a daily shampoo fan, you'll have to get used to spacing out your shampoos. One or two shampoos a week is more than enough and preserves hair texture and color.
