Best At-Home Hair Dye Kits
Going to a salon on a regular basis can become very expensive, so it is worth looking into 'at-home' hair coloring kits and products. Drugstore hair coloring kits are an inexpensive and often comparable way of covering up grey hairs or just freshening up your color. The following are a few of the highest rated and best reviewed at-home hair dye kits for permanent color, semi-permanent color, and demi-permanent color.
One of the highest rated permanent hair color kits is Clairol Nice 'n Easy Perfect 10. It takes only 10 minutes to process and is easy to apply. It is also a gentler dye than most and does not leave the hair as dry as some other permanent brands.
If you are shopping for a demi-permanent hair color kit, a highly rated choice is Clairol Natural Instincts. It comes in a wide array of shades and is quick to process. This is a good choice if your are looking for a demi-permanent color because its color fades more gradually than a permanent dye, so roots are less noticeable as they grow in.
Choose a semi-permanent hair dye if you are looking for a more temporary and gentle color. Clairol Natural Instincts Loving Care is a top rated choice because it is gentle and leaves the hair less damaged than other color products. If you are looking for an even less permanent and more natural looking kit, try John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze. This glaze is not a dye but gives hair a great sheen and can be used on any hair color.
Tips
- Choosing the right color for your hair can often be the most challenging part of the hair dying process, so to ensure the best results try to stay within two shades of your natural color (whether going lighter or darker).
- At-home color kits are available in three different strengths: semipermanent, demi-permanent and permanent. Even though some are labelled ‘nonpermanent’ these products will still most often stay in the hair permanently but will fade in fewer shampoos or will not be as vibrant as a permanent color.
