Whether you’re bored at home or want to a drastic new look, the easiest and more fun way to experiment with your look is through your hair. If you’ve dreamed about having pink hair or even wearing your favorite color on your head–I recently dyed my hair red and I’ve never been happier–DIY hair color kits have upgraded their formulas for an easier and safer way to color your hair at home.
From vivid rainbow hues or shades of blonde and brunette, hair dyes today are less irritating to the scalp, more nourishing to your roots, and deliver full pigmented color. However, a good rule of thumb is if you have virgin hair or are a newbie to bleaching, consult your stylist first. Trust me, hair grows back but you don’t need your own hair horror story.
With that said, we listed down the best local at-home color brands for root touch-ups and making your dream hair fantasies come to life.
Colourette Cosmetics
Well-loved brand by all Filipinos alike, Colourette Cosmetics has branched out with their first-ever hair product–the Colourette Sky Dye. Very much on brand, the line includes 8 bold nourishing semi-permanent hair dyes that can last for approximately four to six weeks.
If you want the colors to fully show up on your hair, they also released the Bleach Cloud Kit to lift and lighten your hair color up to about three to four levels. It includes a volume developer and a powder bleach along with a bowl, brush, and a pair of gloves.
Dudyeism
For those who already have colored their hair a bright color and need to maintain its vibrancy, Dudyeism’s Ready-To-Apply Semi-Permanent Hair Dye Conditioners are a need in your arsenal. Tried and tested on my hair, I use it once a week to revive my red hue and it always leaves it silky smooth.
For only P180 per 10ml tub is enough to cover short to medium hair. Pro Tip: you can extend the life of each tub by mixing it in with your conditioner. That way you’ll get a light refresh every washday.
Herani
For quick touch-ups, Herani has semi-permanent tubes that lasts for more or less 4-6 weeks. Their dyes are paraben and sulfate free to avoid drying out and damaging your hair with each use.
Due to their popularity, check out their Instagram highlights and look for a city distributor or reseller near you since they’re almost always sold-out.
Hair Paint Manila
A one-stop shop for your hair coloring needs, Hair Paint Manila offers temporary and semi-permanent hair colors that come in conditioner-based, powder-based and cream-based variations.
They have several colors available and offer their own line of purple shampoos that recommended for those with bleached hair to tone down brassiness.
