WHEN CHOOSING SKINCARE products, you might be attracted to those with natural ingredients, but do you give your hair colour the same consideration? Let’s face it, by now your hair has probably seen it all – peroxide, ammonia and a whole host of unpronounceable chemicals – in your experiments with colour. But, as more natural and gentle formulations become available, maybe it’s time to reassess.
‘Ultimately it’s about using fewer chemicals, which can be astringent and damaging to hair and irritating to skin,’ says Karine Jackson, celebrity hairdresser specialising in organic colouring and sustainability (). ‘Natural ingredients can benefit your hair and scalp, such as providing important nutrients. These products are generally healthier, with much less risk of allergy, no ammonia smells or toxic fumes, leaving hair in better condition.’
