The difference between salon-quality hair dye and drugstore hair dye

The difference between salon-quality hair dye and drugstore hair dye

The difference between salon-quality hair dye and drugstore hair dye is in the quality of the ingredients. This means your hair stays healthier, the colour remains vibrant for a longer period, and the chance of an allergic reaction to WECOLOUR hair dye is significantly less.

Most drugstore hair dye products contain harsh chemicals that can damage your hair, such as ammonia, PPD (p-Phenylenediamine), and resorcinol. These substances can cause irritation and dryness. On the other hand, WECOLOUR hair dye contains a range of nourishing ingredients such as argan oil and calendula. Unlike most drugstore hair dyes, WECOLOUR hair dye is free from ammonia, PPD (p-Phenylenediamine, but contains TDS), silicones, gluten, parabens, SLS, and resorcinol. These advantages, combined with the high-quality ingredients, make WECOLOUR hair dye a healthy and safe choice for your hair.

Drugstore vs Salon-Quality Hair Dye: The Facts

Let's take a moment to consider the fact that not all hair dyes are the same. The difference between drugstore hair dye and salon-quality hair dye can be significant. But what exactly are these differences? Let's examine them.

The Differences Summarized You might wonder, what makes salon-quality hair dye so special compared to the hair dye you can buy at the drugstore. The difference lies mainly in the composition of the ingredients, the development of the color, the health of your hair, the durability of the dye, and ultimately the longevity of the colour.

Looking at the ingredients, we see that salon-quality dye often contains more concentrated pigments, resulting in a richer, deeper colour. Additionally, this hair dye contains nourishing ingredients that keep your hair healthy and shiny, as opposed to drugstore hair dye, which often contains harsher chemicals that can damage the hair.

Moreover, when it comes to colour development, it's not just about the shade you see in the mirror immediately after dyeing. Salon-quality hair dye is formulated in such a way that the color develops beautifully over time and doesn't become dull or discolored like some drugstore dyes.

As for the health of your hair, it's clear that salon-quality hair dye wins. This is due to the high-quality, nourishing ingredients that not only colour your hair but also take care of it. This is essential to keep your hair healthy and shiny.

Also, the durability of the dye in salon-quality hair dye, where you mix the color cream with the activator, is one year after opening. With drugstore hair dye, you have to use everything at once and cannot store it.

Finally, there's the longevity of the colour. With salon-quality hair dye, you can expect your colour to stay vibrant and beautiful for longer. This is especially important if you have a busy life and don't have time every few weeks to redye your hair. Also, the quality of your hair remains much better, which again affects the colour.

Moreover, our hair dye contains no ammonia, PPD (p-phenylenediamine), parabens, resorcinol, silicones, gluten, and SLS (sodium laureth sulfate) - chemicals often found in drugstore hair dyes. As a result, our hair dye is milder, softer, and safer for your hair and scalp and has a lower risk of allergic reactions.

Is WECOLOUR Hair Dye Suitable for All Hair Types?

WECOLOUR is developed for all hair types. This means it doesn't matter if you have thick, thin, curly, straight, blonde, dark, colored, or natural hair. This is one of the reasons many people choose WECOLOUR. WECOLOUR hair dyes are formulated with high-quality ingredients that are gentle on your hair. They contain no ammonia, PPD (but TDS), parabens, or resorcinol that can damage or dry out your hair. Instead, your hair is cared for by natural ingredients like argan oil and calendula extract.

If you have dry, curly, or porous hair, we always advise adding Colour Mask to the dye mixture. This protects and restores your hair and scalp during the dyeing process. WECOLOUR is also very suitable for men. So don't hesitate and order it online. We have a money-back guarantee or offer you a new color if you are not satisfied with the color but are satisfied with the quality of the hair dye.

What Are the Long-Term Effects of Using WECOLOUR Hair Dye?

WECOLOUR hair dye is made with care for your hair and skin. It is our highest pursuit to offer a product that is safe for long-term use. Below you will find some benefits of using WECOLOUR hair dye in the long term.

  • Healthier Hair: WECOLOUR hair dye contains no ammonia, resorcinol, PPD (but TDS), or parabens, which can damage or dry out your hair. Over time, you will notice that your hair becomes more supple and shinier, while the color remains natural.
  • Safer for the Skin: Thanks to the mild ingredients, WECOLOUR hair dye is also kinder to the skin. You are less likely to suffer from irritation or redness that is sometimes experienced with other hair dye products. Some of our customers react allergically to hair dye from the drugstore and not to ours. You can order a tester to see how you react to WECOLOUR hair dye.
  • Long-Lasting Color Retention: WECOLOUR hair dye is designed to hold color longer. This means less frequent redyeing, which is again better for your hair! In addition to these health and cost benefits, we also believe that using WECOLOUR hair dye can have a positive effect on your self-confidence. There's something to be said for the feeling you get when you know you're doing something that's good for you and your hair. You feel better and radiate that. Healthy hair that shines is a nice and pleasant feeling.

Note: While we do our best to offer as safe and natural a product as possible, it's always important to be aware of potential allergic reactions. We always recommend doing an allergy test before applying the hair dye. You can order the tester via our website.

In summary, we can say that the difference between salon-quality hair dye and drugstore hair dye lies in the quality of the ingredients. This ensures that your hair remains healthier, the color stays beautiful for longer, and the chance of an allergic reaction to WECOLOUR hair dye is significantly less because our hair dye contains no ammonia, PPD, resorcinol, silicones, SLS, and gluten.
