Colouring

All our highlights and hair colours are safe and non-toxic.  They will give you long-lasting vibrant colour without damaging you or your hair. 

Safe for use during IVF, in pregnancy, breast-feeding, and during chemotherapy; Our colour range is recommenced for those with allergies, health concerns, or if you are simply looking for safer ingredients to use.

What makes the products we use at Hair Organics different from other high street salons, and do these products actually work?

What you put on your hair can create all sorts of problems, especially if it's full of chemicals that might give results, but compromise your health and the condition of your hair. So that’s why I have sourced, and only ever use the best, natural, mineral-derived products, that look after your health and also your hair, building it up to be shiny, glossy, and manageable.

I can guarantee that our colours will suit you, and last long beyond a few washes. We will suggest a shampoo and conditioner that will suit your hair type, will be effective, and won’t leave you with itches, spots, rashes, or anything more sinister.

Safe, gentle, effective colours

Pregnancy-safe

Our Natural Highlights, our Organic and Mineral permanent hair colours and our Water Colour semi-permanents are formulated without mutagens and tetragens.  Consequently we feel they are safe to use when trying to conceive, including during IVF, and throughout pregnancy and breast-feeding. A skin allergy test is still advised.

Allergy-free

Our semi-permanent watercolours are totally PPD-free and are usually suitable for most people who have had a reaction to a regular hair dye. However we take allergy potential seriously and know that anyone can become allergic to any dye, at any time. All clients take a skin allergy test 48 hours before every colour to prevent this.   If you are already allergic our formulator Daniel Field can produce a bespoke allergy-free alternative for you, which we would be more than happy to apply in our salons.

Cancer-friendly

Hair dyes have been linked to endocrine disruption and have both cancer and mutagenic concerns. The gentle nature of the ingredients we use are safe for those living with cancer, undergoing chemotherapy and post cancer treatment. As well as the care we take choosing ingredients for our hair colourants, we also detox each client after colouring to restore the hair’s delicate pH and remove any traces of colour residue from within the scalp.

No harsh chemicals

Our semi-permanent colours are called watercolours – as yes, that’s right, water is the catalyst to make this colour work. Water. Not ammonia or hydrogen peroxide.  Our highlights are made from seaweed and are also ammonia-free, so there is none of the usual nasty smell.

 
Leaves hair soft & shiny

All our colour products including the highlighting formula, will leave your hair super-shiny, soft, and easy to manage. For blonde highlights that’s nothing short of a miracle, as traditional bleaching strips blonde hair of moisture, resulting in crispy, straw-like strands.

Our Permanent Colouring System comes in every gorgeous shade imaginable. It is a two-part system, the first being the colourant which does not contain ammonia as traditional hair dyes do. Ammonia has been replaced by an alkali derived from coconut fatty acids. It is odourless so both you and your stylist benefit from the lack of fumes that irritate lungs and eyes. In its natural state your hair is acidic and this alkaline oil respects this. Our complimentary pH Balancing Rinse following the colour will restore the acid pH of your hair.

 

With the organic and mineral permanent colour we mix our own unique Fruitoxy Booster which is the second part of the system. It is made from a combination of natural essential fatty acids derived from fruit oils, chemically similar to the sebum found naturally in your scalp. It is still technically hydrogen peroxide (which is required to open the hair to lighten it so that the colour can penetrate) but unlike traditional hydrogen peroxide, it is in fact good for both your hair and your scalp. We find it protects the scalp whilst deeply moisturising the hair during the colouring process often leaving your hair in better condition than before colouring.

 

The Organic and Mineral Permanent Colouring System provides professional, effective fast permanent hair colouring, yet is neither harmful to your hair nor your scalp. It is extremely rare that you would have an allergic reaction to our Permanent Colouring System however, as we care for your welfare, we now insist that you have a skin patch test at a consultation 12 -24 hours prior to your colour.

Our Semi-permanent range known as Water Colour can be used either to gently blend away grey hair which lasts 4 to six weeks or it can provide a blanket colour coverage and lasts like a permanent tint. Your stylists will determine the level you require at your initial consultation. Unlike traditional semi-permanent colour, Water Colour does not contain hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, or any other synthetic replacement that strips colour from your hair. Instead, it simply adds colour by a gentle process without irritating your scalp or damaging your hair.

A further advantage is that the process takes less time than traditional colourants, decreasing the time you need to be in the salon. Daniel Field created 46 shades of Water-based Colour in 1994 and it still remains a world-class breakthrough as the only harmless yet highly effective hair colourant for grey hair on the market. Best of all it gives your hair an incredible high gloss shine that lasts for the length of the colour.

Our Water-based Colour contains no known allergens other than the dye pigments* themselves. The remaining <99% of the ingredients used are 100% petrochemical-free.

 

*Water Colour still needs to use synthetic dye pigments so a patch test is compulsory before first use.

Water Colour is 100% vegan and is <99% naturally mineral and plant-based. It contains no toxins, is 100% SLS free, 100% environmentally biodegradable/safe, and the plant ingredients are 100% organically grown.

Our complimentary pH Balancing Rinse following the colour will restore the acid pH of your hair.

Please call the salon to find out more, including how Hair Organics Water Colour is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Seaweed used to lighten your hair? Something a bit witchery about that surely? Nothing short of ingenious is what we say. The trouble with being blonde is that traditional highlighting bleaches can make you dry, brittle, or even give you hair breakage. When you are looking for blonde highlights or to be all over blonde you want that hair to shine and look healthy and nourished.

 

Our Seaweed powder combined with our Fruitoxy booster allows just small and even bursts of oxygen to be released that lighten your hair as light as required, whilst fruit oils deeply moisturise and nourish your hair often leaving it in better condition than before the process. We believe that you will notice a big difference to your highlights in that they will have a glossy shine which cannot be achieved with traditional bleaching techniques.
