In today’s world, where health and sustainability are becoming increasingly important, many are reevaluating their beauty routines. One area where this shift is particularly noticeable is in hair care. With concerns about harsh chemicals and their potential long-term effects, more and more people are seeking out natural alternatives for colouring their hair. If you're considering making the switch from chemical base colour to 100% plant hair colour, you're on the right track to healthier, more vibrant happier hair. Here are five steps to guide you through this transition.
1. Educate Yourself:
The first step in transitioning to organic hair colour is understanding the harmful effects of mainstream chemical dyes. Many conventional hair dyes contain ingredients like ammonia, PPD, parabens, and resorcinol, which can damage the hair shaft, cause scalp irritation, allergies and are carcinogenic. By educating yourself about these ingredients and their potential risks, you can make a more informed decision about the products you use on your hair. We are proud to say our 100% plant colour range doesn’t contain any chemicals and is simply made with pure plant ingredients.
2. Let go of the need for drastic transformations:
Transitioning to organic hair colour is not just about changing the way you colour your hair; it's about aligning yourself with the gentle rhythms of nature. Unlike mainstream chemical dyes that can be harsh and overpowering, organic hair colour works with your hair's natural texture and tone, resulting in a more subtle and harmonious outcome.
By choosing organic hair colour, you're embracing a more holistic approach to beauty—one that respects the delicate balance of nature and your own inner harmony. Rather than forcing dramatic changes, organic hair colour gently enhances your natural beauty, allowing you to express yourself authentically and in alignment with your true essence.

3. Test for Allergies:
Before applying any new hair colour product, it's essential to perform a patch test to check for allergic reactions. Even though plant hair colours are healthier approach than conventional dye and contain only pure plant ingredients, it's still important to take precautions to ensure your safety. Follow the instructions included with your chosen product to perform a patch test at least 48 hours before colouring your entire head.
4. Prepare Your Hair:
To achieve the best results with plant colour, it's important to start with clean, healthy hair. Remove any buildup from styling products or previous dyes by using our purifying mask prior to colouring. Additionally, consider deep treating your hair in the days leading up to your colour to ensure optimal moisture and shine as the hair will retain the colour longer if it’s healthier.
5. Embrace the Transition:
Transitioning from chemical to plant colour may take some time, especially if you've been colouring your hair for years. Be patient with yourself and your hair as you adjust to the new routine.
