Insider Secrets On The Difference Between Box Color And Salon Color

 Maybe you’ve never given much thought to the difference between home coloring your hair and in-salon coloring, except for the price. Well, we thought we’d spill the beans on the huge difference between these two worlds.

Manufacturers of box color are making a product for a very general audience. The only consideration is color. It’s really impossible for manufacturers to take into account the person’s hair type, hair texture, length and thickness of hair.

A good hairstylist can properly assess the condition of your hair, and examine the texture and thickness—all essential components to creating beautiful color. This is why your color formula may change slightly from time to time to get the best results.

Box color simply can’t do this. It wasn’t designed to. Professional hair color was designed to penetrate your hair right to the layer that holds the natural color pigment. Box color simply coats color on top of the hair shaft.

When color is applied this way, it keeps light from passing through your hair causing it to look dull and lifeless. Eventually, it will look like straw, preventing any conditioning treatments from reaching the hair.

Professional color works from the inside out. It helps to keep your hair healthy and allows for deep conditioning treatments. Those who professionally color their hair can keep hair healthy and shiny for years to come!
