Due to being in lockdown because of the global health crisis, many of us have been unable to safely go to our hairdressers. For those of you who are graying gracefully or have long hair and rarely go to the salon, you might not be feeling our pain.
But if your hair is anything like mine, you may be avoiding mirrors. Not only am I in desperate need of a haircut, my roots are long overdue for a touch up. If you’ve done all you can to extend your haircut and color, you may be considering ways to dye your hair safely at home with organic dyes. (If you accidentally stain your skin with hair dye, we’ve got you.)
Ways to dye your hair at home
Best at-home hair color
“Madison Reed is an online company you can choose color from,” Stroberg recommended. “One of their selling points is that all their color is paraphenylenediamine (PPD) free.”
You can also try direct semi-permanent products like Manic Panic and Overtone. Neither have ammonia or peroxide in them. If your hair is naturally light or has been bleached, they can appear more vibrant.
Vogue magazine has a list of recommendations that go from drugstore favorites to pricey upscale brands, but it also recommend consulting with a stylist first to find out which types and methods would be best for your hair. Also, remember to take into consideration the effects of dyes and fumes if you are pregnant.
