Hair dyes: how to choose them yourself?

Hair dye is probably the most popular beauty product used to change, refresh or conceal your appearance. Of course, it's best to leave it to the professionals, but sometimes you have to take the initiative yourself! So, what if you need to choose your own hair dye?

What are the best hair dyes?

It is always recommended to choose high-quality, professional-use hair dyes that don't strip the hair and enrich it with natural oils, vitamins and amino acids. Additionally, the colour pigments in these dyes last longer in the hair. It is recommended to look for products with a more natural composition on store shelves, which contain less substances that have a negative effect on the hair and scalp. It is important that hair dyes contain as many substances as possible that protect the effects of oxidative processes.

Types of hair dye

For those who have been interested in hair dyes and have tried to choose it on their own, the different types of dyes are no longer surprising. However, for first timers, it is easy to get lost in the plethora of choices - the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of hair dye and the main characteristics can be surprising. We will try to give you an idea of what hair dyes can be and which type of hair dye you should choose for your particular situation. 

Professional hair dye

The best hair dyes will always be made for professionals. Whether blonde or coloured, these hair dyes will cover all hair types and lengths perfectly, ensuring that neither the hair itself nor your scalp is damaged.

Spray-on hair dyes

A convenient product for those who do not want to go through the trouble of colouring their hair and are looking for a quick effect. Easy to use, no waiting time and a long-lasting result. However, one-off solution like this should not become a long-term habit - if you dye your hair regularly, it's better to switch from spray dye to professional or ammonia-free dyes.

Wash-Out Hair Dye

It's a perfect choice for a quick need to dress up for a themed party or celebration, or to cover up grey roots while waiting for a hairdresser's appointment. One of the easiest choices is MilkShake hair colour, which functions as a conditioning, colouring mousse. The colour is easily removed by washing your hair.

Ammonia-Free Hair Dye

Those with problematic scalps and/or looking for the most natural beauty products usually choose ammonia-free hair dyes. They are safe, reliable and high-quality. A great example is Schwarzkopf hair dye with moisture-protecting AQUAXYL technology, which helps to prevent breakage and dye hair with an even colour.

Oil Based Hair Dye

Natural oil-based hair dyes, made from only the highest quality ingredients, are considered the healthiest alternative to conventional dyes. The oils they contain make hair soft and shiny. It also produces a richer and longer-lasting colour.
