How long does a plant colour last?

 

Global warming? Pollution? Chemicals? What if we start changing our habits. Everyone wants to bring more naturalness to their daily lives, and nothing is more natural than vegetable coloring, a fine mixture of water and plants. You are wondering about this one. How long does a plant colour last? What are these advantages? How to take care of them? Here are some tips to help you maintain your plant colouring and prolong its hold and shine. Several things to know, we explain everything in this article!

 

1.    Why does the radiance of vegetable colouring last longer than for chemical colouring?

 

The chemical staining opens the hair scales so that the synthetic dyes penetrate inside the hair fiber.  This method weakens the hair irreversibly. Although the color is brilliant in the first days, over time it becomes dull and the weakened hair fiber may break or fall.

Unlike chemical colorations, vegetable coloration does not present this disadvantage and is much more respectful of the hair. Pigments from tinctorial plants (bitter, etc.) are fixed around the hair without penetrating inside it. Some plant active ingredients also have beneficial effects: moisturize the hair, stimulate growth, fortify and nourish the hair fiber, etc.

 

 

 

2.       How long usually lasts a vegetable coloring on the hair?

 

Vegetable coloring is a permanent coloring, which means that the coloring as such holds all the time. A regular touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks helps maintain the roots. We also recommend that you lengthen the color on the lengths once out of 2, to revive the old applications of vegetable coloring and keep the shine of the first day. This process is called emulsion. Plant colouring can become dimmer depending on the environment in which it is exposed. Pollution, UV rays, chlorine, sea salt, etc. are all elements that disturb the good holding of your 100% natural dye. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a partner trade fair Rodolphe & Co and to contact a colorist expert vegetable.

 

 

 

 

3.       Do the vegetable colorations effectively cover white or grey hair?

 

Thanks to vegetable pigments, it is possible to obtain a beautiful color palette that follows the trend. They may not have the same covering power as chemical stains, but they are sufficient to completely cover white or grey hair to get a colorful sheath giving a natural effect. Rodolphe&Co and Greenleaf Vegetable Coloring Powders Color Up to 100% White or Grey Hair 90 minutes, against several hours in many brands of vegetable coloring. Rodolphe&Co technology combines the colouring action of 100% natural and BIO tinctorial plants with a HydroGel allowing a better grip on the hair. Our coloring therefore has a strong colouring power compared to many brands of vegetable dye on the market.

4.       How to maintain a vegetable colouring to prolong its hold and preserve the brightness of the color?

 

To best preserve the shine of your color, we advise you to wash your hair twice a week using our line of gentle shampoo, without sulfated active tensio as well as a high hydration mask.

 

 

 

We also recommend avoiding ingredients such as silicones that tend to weigh down the hair and weaken the coloring over the long term. Choosing to use natural products, without controversial chemistry is a good action for your hair and for the planet.

 

 

5.       Is it possible to go from a chemical coloring to a vegetable coloring without damaging the hair?

 

Do you think the presence of chemicals related to synthetic stains can alter the result of your future natural staining? You are right! In order not to be disappointed, you will need to follow several indications to enjoy the benefits of vegetable dye.

It is advisable to wait several weeks after a conventional coloring to perform a new color, indeed, the hair and scalp being very aggressive after a chemical coloring, it is necessary to give them a recovery time.

During this time, it is important to adapt your beauty routine at home to detoxify the skin of your scalp and hair by using scrubs and moisturizing the hair with natural and organic products.

Some vegetable stains are not 100% natural, therefore it is necessary to look carefully at the composition to verify that there are no dyes from metal salts. These ingredients greatly interfere with the fixation of 100% vegetable coloring and vice versa if you want to achieve a synthetic coloring again.

At Rodolphe&Co, we recommend using Dtox care to sanitize and detoxify the scalp and hair before any changes in color type. It is recommended to do about 3 weeks of care for hair that have undergone many applications of synthetic coloring.
