Perfect Hair Color : Your online pharmacy selection

What types of hair coloring are available?

There are several types of hair coloring, each catering to specific needs and preferences. The main categories include:

1. Permanent hair color: Permanently changes the color of your hair and is ideal for covering gray hair or for a radical color change. It penetrates the cuticle to deposit color deep within the hair.
2. Semi-permanent coloring: Less aggressive than permanent coloring, it deposits pigments on the hair's surface without altering its natural structure. Fades after several washes.
3. Temporary color: Perfect for special occasions or color trials, temporary color is deposited only on the hair surface and can be removed in one or two washes.

How do I choose the right hair color for my complexion?

Your choice of hair color should harmonize with your complexion to highlight your natural features. Here are a few recommendations:

• Fair complexions: Porcelain or very fair complexions blend well with colors such as platinum blonde, vibrant red, or deep black.
• Medium complexions: You can opt for shades of golden brown, caramels, or even burgundy reds.
• Dark complexions : Darker complexions are enhanced by deep shades such as espresso brown, jet black or burgundy.

What care should I take before and after coloring?

Before coloring:

• Always perform a skin sensitivity test 48 hours before coloring to prevent allergic reactions.
• Use a clarifying shampoo a few days before to remove residues and impurities.

After coloring :

• Use hair care products formulated for colored hair to maintain color intensity and nourish your hair.
• Avoid frequent washing to prolong color radiance, and apply moisturizing masks regularly.

How can I keep my hair healthy after coloring?

To maintain healthy hair after coloring, follow these tips:

• Moisturization: Invest in deep care products and nourishing oils to rehydrate your hair.
• Protection: Protect color-treated hair from the sun and heating appliances by using specific products.

Can coloring damage my hair?

Yes, coloring can stress and sometimes damage hair structure, especially if done frequently or without proper care. It's crucial to follow proper care routines and consult professionals to minimize the risks.

How do I test color on a small section of hair before applying full color?

To test color before a full application, select a small section of hair, ideally hidden under your hair at the nape of the neck. Apply color to this strand according to the product instructions and observe the result after the recommended exposure time. This test will help you decide whether the color meets your expectations and check for any adverse reactions.

What's the difference between ammonia-based and ammonia-free colorants?

The main difference lies in the chemical composition and impact on hair structure:

• Ammonia-based colorings: More effective for covering gray hair or for a radical color change, ammonia opens the hair cuticle allowing pigments to penetrate deeply. However, they can be more aggressive on the scalp and hair.
• Ammonia-free colorants: Less aggressive, they use a substitute to slightly open the cuticle without damaging it as much. They are often recommended for those with sensitive hair or who prefer a less damaging option.

What are the risks of hair coloring for pregnant women?

Pregnant women are generally advised to consult a health professional before coloring their hair. Although most modern hair colors are safe, there is a potential risk from chemicals absorbed by the skin. Ammonia-free colorants or natural products are often recommended during this period.

How long should I wait between colorings?

It's advisable to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks between two permanent colorings to allow your hair to rest and repair itself. For semi-permanent or temporary colorations, the interval can be shorter. Always assess the condition of your hair and consult a professional if necessary.

Is it possible to color hair after a chemical treatment such as straightening or perming?

It is possible, but precautions must be taken. We recommend waiting at least two weeks after a chemical treatment before applying color to avoid further damage. Always consult a professional hairdresser to assess the health of your hair and determine the best treatment plan.
