Hair dye - page 5

Hair dye is intended for people who want to change shade, refresh existing color, cover grey hair or achieve a more even hair appearance. Properly selected hair color can contribute to a well-groomed look, but it is important to choose the shade according to natural hair color, hair condition and expected result.

Within the Hair cosmetics category, you can find products for coloring, care and maintaining hair after coloring. Colored hair often needs additional hydration, mild shampoos and conditioners to preserve softness, shine and a healthy-looking hair appearance.

If dandruff, itching or scalp irritation is present together with coloring needs, it is important to pay attention to washing frequency and shampoo choice. Hair dye does not solve scalp problems, so dandruff care should be separated from color care. Read more about the proper routine in the guide How often to wash hair against dandruff.

How to choose hair dye?

For lightening or preparing hair for a lighter look, Biokap Delicato Crema Schiarente 0.0 can be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and hair condition.

If you want brown shades, the choice can depend on whether you prefer a darker or lighter result. Phytocolor 3 Chatain Fonc suits a darker brown tone, while Phytocolor 5 Chatain Clair is a choice for a lighter brown look.

For a warm reddish shade, Biokap Delicato 8.64 Titian Red can be selected. In case of major color changes, damaged hair or previously treated hair, caution and advice from a hairdresser or pharmacist are recommended if needed.

Hair coloring and care after coloring

After coloring, hair can become drier, more sensitive and more prone to loss of shine, which is why regular care is important. Mild shampoos, conditioners and hair masks are recommended, while washing too frequently should be avoided if the hair and scalp do not require it.

With a scalp prone to dandruff or irritation, hair coloring should be planned carefully. Applying hair dye to damaged, irritated or inflamed scalp is not recommended. If dandruff keeps returning, it is useful to read the blog How often to wash hair against dandruff.

Pharmacist’s advice

Before using hair dye, always read the manufacturer’s instructions and perform a sensitivity test if specified. Do not apply dye to damaged, inflamed or irritated scalp. If you have previously had an allergic reaction to hair dyes, redness, swelling, itching or burning, do not use the product without professional advice. During pregnancy, breastfeeding, dermatological therapy, severe hair loss, dandruff with redness or small wounds on the scalp, consult a dermatologist, pharmacist or hairdresser.
