While you need hair dye to cover up those greys, sometimes a change in hair color is the perfect makeover. Whatever the reason you want to color your hair, one thing is certain – you need to use ammonia-free hair dye. Although ammonia-based hair dyes last longer, the chemical is harmful for the hair causing itchiness, hair loss and dryness among other side effects. Ammonia-free hair colors, as the name suggests, are hair colors without the chemical ammonia, and are gentler on hair, thus preventing hair damage.
Here are our favorite ammonia-free hair dyes to add some color to your hair (and your life):
1. Ammonia-Free Black Cherry
L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Hair Color, a semi-permanent ammonia-free hair color, is a gentle, natural-looking way to color your hair. The no-ammonia formula enriched with natural ingredients like Goji Extract, Coconut Oil, Hazelnut and Honey not only blends away greys but also leaves your hair feeling nourished and smelling great. The hair color lasts for up to 28 washes, giving your hair full coverage with shimmering rich tones. In our opinion, the shade Black Cherry is simply the best.
2. Burgundy Wine Looks Fine
For hair color that gives you that salon-like shine, try the BBLUNT Salon Secret High Shine Creme Hair Color. This ammonia-free three-part hair dye gives 100% grey coverage that lasts for up to eight weeks.
