There are many ways professional hair dye differs from at-home hair colour formulas, including:
- Quality of ingredients — Professional hair dye contains a careful combination of high-quality ingredients that provide extreme colour payoff while gently protecting, hydrating and nourishing the hair to prevent damage, breakage and split ends. Additionally, professional hair colour products offer more intense, longer-lasting colour results than semi-permanent, at-home hair dyes.
- Customisation — At Salon Direct, we have a huge collection of shades available, so you can easily create a custom colour by mixing various formulas. On the other hand, at-home hair dye comes pre-packaged with a limited range of colours.
- Application process — Professional hair dye is usually applied by a trained stylist who can apply the colour from root to tip to ensure the dye is evenly distributed throughout the hair. Conversely, at-home hair dye is self-applied, often resulting in uneven or patchy coloured areas.
