What is plant-based coloring?

 

 

 

 

In recent years, the progressive awareness about the dangerousness of chemicals as well as the multiplication of allergic reactions to them has brought to light an ancestral coloring technique: plant-based hair coloring. This natural coloring technique is attracting more and more people, but few yet know what plant-based coloring is exactly.

 

 

What is plant-based coloring?

 

You should know that plant-based coloring has existed since the dawn of time.

 

In general, plant-based coloring is a coloring technique based on powder of tinctorial and Ayurvedic plants, mixed with water. Quite simple. It is therefore a 100% natural process, without any synthetic product. The mixture forms a smooth cream that is applied to the hair. Due to the absence of chemicals and especially ammonia, the hair fiber remains intact and the plant pigments simply settle on the surface of the hair like make-up.

 

Different plants are carefully selected and mixed together to meet various needs: a good grip on the hair, the coverage of white hair, the variation of highlights or even the protection of the hair thanks to the natural properties of plants.

 

Because of its naturalness, plant-based coloring is a technique that has come back in force in recent years, with the general awareness about the importance of naturalness.

 

At Rodolphe&Co, we have combined an old concept with cutting-edge innovation to create the Organic Infused Colors range, a 100% organic plant-based color with optimal efficiency.

 

 

What are the benefits of plant-based coloring?

 

Plant-based coloring can be used to color hair in different ways: to give a specific highlight to the hair or to cover white hair with a super natural result. It can also be used as a plant-based toner after a mineral balayage, combining these two technologies for a unique result! The naturalness of the hair is preserved by the super natural-looking results provided by the plant-based coloring.

 

Thanks to the many properties inherent to the selected plants, the plant-based coloring also serves as a care for the hair and the scalp. For example, it helps cleanse the scalp, stimulate blood circulation, limit hair loss and stimulate hair growth, fight against itching, or even protect hair against external aggressions. Hair is shinier, softer and healthier with plant-based coloring..

 

Such coloring helps to preserve the health of the hair and the body. Indeed, nothing penetrates the hair or the body. The plant-based coloring only coats the surface of the hair fiber. Thus, it is suitable for a very wide target: people who are pregnant, under treatment, allergic to conventional products, or simply wishing to opt for a healthier lifestyle.

 

The plant-based hair color is also environmentally friendly: the hair color is completely biodegradable, no chemicals are discharged into wastewater, so nature is preserved!

How to maintain my plant-based color?

 

For good durability of your plant-based coloring, we recommend that you do not shampoo within the next 72 hours of coloring. Indeed, it is necessary to give the pigments a little time to fix themselves well on the hair and reveal their real color. It should also be maintained on a daily basis with a suitable conditioner such as the Cosmos Natural certified GreenColor Conditioner, in order to regulate the balance of the hair and make the color last over time.
