How does Excellence Crème hair dye work?
Hair dye works by temporarily changing the colour of the hair shaft. The colour molecules in the dye are larger than the natural pigment molecules in the hair, so they can't penetrate the cuticle, or outer layer, of the hair. Instead, they lodge in the cortex, or middle layer, where they gradually fade as the hair is exposed to sunlight and other environmental factors. In order to use at-home hair dye effectively, it's important to select a shade that is similar to your natural hair colour. If your goal is to cover grey hairs, look for a shade that is one or two shades darker than your natural colour. For best results, follow the instructions on the package carefully.
Things to consider when dyeing your hair
Before you take the plunge and dye your hair, there are a few things you should consider. Think about what colour you want. If you're looking to make a big change, go for a bold new hue. But if you're just looking for a little bit of colour, stick with a shade that's close to your natural colour. Next, think about how much time and effort you're willing to put into your hair. Permanent hair colour will require regular touch-ups, while semi-permanent colour will only last a few weeks. Once you've taken all of these factors into consideration, you'll be ready to choose the perfect hair colour for you! Read more on choosing the best hair colour for your skin tone.
For even longer lasting hair colour, be sure to use our Colour Protect hair care specially designed for coloured hair.

"description":"With so many options, it can be hard to decide which hair colour to try next. The latest hair dye trend, or a shade that looks perfect on your favourite celebrity, can be a tempting option to try and recreate, but once you’ve finally picked a colour that you covet next comes the age old question, “will this even suit me?”.
Whether you’re looking at a buttery blonde, rich copper, or multidimensional black, it can be difficult to know if your chosen hair colour will enhance your complexion or completely wash you out. Much like hair colours have different undertones, so does your skin, which can influence how flattering your new shade will look. Luckily there’s a few ways to predict how your skin tone will affect what hair colour suits you and how to find out which hue to opt for to flatter your undertones. No matter if you’ve got warm or cool skin tones, here’s exactly what you need to know when picking out a new hue."

"description":"The term purple shampoo has been floating around the beauty sphere for a long time now. It’s most often associated with other words like ‘brassy’ and ‘platinum’ and there’s a common misconception that it is used exclusively for a certain shade of blonde. What if we said that a variety of blonde tones can use this purple-toning shampoo?"
