Want to change your style or give your hair a pretty highlights ? coloring is the ideal solution. However, it's best to opt for coloring . colorings plant-based vs colorings chemical: what you need to know to avoid graying your hair!
What are the differences between coloring and coloring ?
Chemical colorings are false friends of the hair.
The principle behind coloring is to open the hair scales and replace the pigment that naturally colors the hair (melanin) with chemical pigments. They can therefore lighten hair. The application time is short, but fiber is dried out and damaged. Hair is drier and more brittle, and needs care afterwards to try to close its scales and restore its softness.
The ingredients used in colorings chemicals are highly controversial in terms of their harmfulness to both health and the environment. These include ammonia, ethanolamine, hydrogen peroxide and resorcinol. These allergenic substances can make the scalp more sensitive and irritate it. What's more, during application, colorings chemicals can stain clothing and even the skin. A further disadvantage is that you need to wait a month and a half between two colorings treatments to allow the fiber capillary system to recover properly.
colorings plant-based is a more hair-friendly alternative.
colorings plant-based are natural and therefore less aggressive to fiber capillaire. They do not open the hair's scales, but rather surround them, respecting the hair's nature and color. The result: natural shades are preserved, limiting the "bar" effect during regrowth. The coloring plant-based product darkens hair and adds highlights.
Nowadays, colorings natural hairs are composed of a large quantity of natural henna to fix the pigments on the hair's fiber . The natural color forms a protective barrier around the hair, giving it strength and shine.
The environmental and health benefits of natural colorings
Preserving the environment
colorings plant-based have less impact on the environment, as they are mainly made up of active plant ingredients. They are neutral for the planet and its diversity. On the other hand, the products used in colorings chemical products (sulfates, oxidizing agents, hydrogen peroxide, colorants, etc.) have a significant impact on the environment. In fact, after each treatment, the rinse water goes down the drain and into the oceans. This has serious consequences for our planet.

What's more, some people may experience allergic reactions following the use of this type of colorings. In the case of sensitive skin, itching, redness or irritation may occur.
