HAIR COLOR PRODUCTS:

There are 2 main products that we can recommend for use at home:
Clairol and L'Oreal
Clairol being a brand that is gaining ground on L'Oreal which dominated the market for years.
Both are incredible products that can definetely satisfy the needs of a diy colorist.
Unfortunately, we have to stress you and warn you that it's not the hair color product that does it all, there's a substantial amount of
work and craft in to it. So don't just think that it will be easy because you bought the best product available on the hair product market.
Further to the point, these are products that can be mastered by amateurs outside a professional environment such as a hair salon.
That means that professional products are far more effective but can cause serious damage and even harm to the self colorist,
particularly without the safety facilities and equipment and the trained staff available at a salon. That's the reason why they are not
available over the counter. But if you accurately follow the instructions in the box, the job can be done reasonably, just don't act
carelessly. Also remember the difference between permanent and semipermanent colors as sometimes this is overlooked and the effects
of permanent products are in fact 'permanent'. Only a professional colorist can try and fix such an effect but it might end up costing dearly. Just to remind you the quick way of telling if it's permanent or semipermanent: if you're mixing two products out of the box, most likely
that's a permanent hair dye.
