- Wondering why hairdressers cringe when we hear the words "box dye" or "box color"? There are 5 main reasons why we can't stand it. I did sin and colored my hair for one reason: it's permanent, the pigment is strong (so very little fading over time) and because I can't get color from beauty supply stores because they're all closed! So here's my 2 cents on box dye. Have you done it?? Let me know in the comments 👇

#boxdye#boxcolor#productreview - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This video actually made me reconsider dying my hair darker at home and actually explained why it damages more. Most videos just say “don’t do it “ but don’t explain why so I appreciate you going into detail about it. I’ll just wait til I have enough money to go to the salon. Thank you
Aww thank you so much for your comment! I'm so glad it helped you :) I see damage from home hair color all the time because it's constantly lifting the color at least 2 shades!
I use box dye . I get alot of compliments, will never go to a salon, either way when I used to go to a salon it was very dry and frizzy.
You just haven't found the right hairstylist ;-)
@@sklptdhair i agree
You've explained so well what I've wondered for years. 🙌
Thanks hun but box hair always works great on me and I don’t have to spend over 150$$$..... but I’ll consider what you say:)
Box dye is not bad at all if it covers gray and you're using it well. In general people use it wrong and it messes up the hair in the long term if you want to change it! :)
Right. I can afford box dye. I don’t wNt to be grey. Box dye is working for me. My hair isn’t dry or damaged.
@@Pikmin-251 Sounds great! The 20vol developer in box dye is perfect to cover grey, as long as you find a good formula and color that suits you!
@@sklptdhair and if ur not covering grey? I cant afford a salon at all but i have to keep coloring my hair since my blonde roots come out and look awful. Ive used box dye for years and my hair is really long and soft and thick.
@@sklptdhair is there another way to dye at home without box dye. Like some more professional dye?
Ive only just started using a box dye as i was finding it was not only too expensive for a semi permanent hair colour but also i never really liked the end result at my salon, i asked for light brown and it always comes out too dark. They never seem to listen to what i want. So i took the plunge and bought a semi permanent box dye and i can honestly say how pleased i am with it, the colour on the box is the one i got and my hair feels healthy and shiny. Whatever reasons salons give for being anti box dye i still think it boils down to the fact its all about loosing £££ for them, although they would never admit it. Salons are expensive not because of the products used (you can buy a tube of pro colour at sallys for under ten pounds) you are paying for the time and service. So as long as my patch test is good im sticking with the box dyes
Sorry you had that experience at the salon. As a professional myself, the video goes over why we're against box dye - so it's not about losing money. We genuinely don't want you to ruin your hair. If your salon didn't listen to you, that's not the color's fault. Did you try another salon? I'm happy you found a product that works for you! Semi and demi permanent color does make the hair shiny. It's the permanent colors that are not good in the long term. Thank you for leaving this comment!! :)
You could also look at it this way, if there was no one ruining their hair with box dyes then there would be no one rushing to the salon for colour corrections! Again, the colour i chose on the shade chart prior to colouring was a level 6, a neutral light brown, and the finished result was more like a level 4 brown. This happened more then once too, so you can understand how frustrated and disappointed i was, and reluctant to have them do it again. Im not sure who the blame lies with here but i would expect a better outcome from a professional salon.
@@meeshrosenberg1983 Agreed!
Excellent explanation, really appreciated, thank you.
You are welcome!
I have used box dye for years.
Personally, I find that box colour usually turns out well for me and the condition of my hair is good. However, it would highly likely be even better if done at a salon
my hair is always super soft after coloring with box stuff. I have thick coarse hair... don't know if it's the conditioner it comes with or what
@@cheery-hex its mostly buildup that makes u feel ur hair soft, professional color does not fix or do any better to ur hair most cases it leaves ur haair same texture or make it damaged based on developer
Subbed. This video is so informative and I'm hoping it gets way more views. These details are important.
It's like L'oreal assumes everyone that uses their color has coarse or resistant gray hair. I tried their shade #3 a year ago and it had waaay too much ammonia for a soft black 😑.
I don't think most box color companies still use any metallic salts (besides progessive dyes or compound hennas) but I have heard that the dye molecules are larger than what's in professional color. I've seen a few vids of pros showing how box dye doesn't bleach out easily and a stylist from India actually showed under a microscope how box color roughened the cuticles more than professional color. I hope more people find vids like this before grabbing a box. Thanks for sharing.
Exactly! Thank you for your input .. I'm learning all the time about the science of hair. I'm not a colorist but I do know that box color, in addition to sitting on a shelf for a long time, just doesn't feel good in the long term on hair. Toners are the best if you want to go darker! Thanks again!!
@@sklptdhair you're welcome :)
Box dye has a higher volume developer and is more pigmented in order to "keep their promise" to color your hair because it's not individually formalized the color has to work on curly coarse hair the same way it would on straight fine hair
YES 100%!! Thank you for mentioning that. It has to work on all hair .. and unfortunately can ruin some.
but 1 question, will professional salon dye fade really quick ? since lots of my friends get their hair dyed , but most of them turned about to be a 1 month fader
Well to lower the 20 developer just dilute it. I take just half and add conditioner instead its fine and turns out beautiful. Dying dark hair is easy at home, no need for hair dressers.
I used box dye for the first time a couple of months ago and I actually loved the results and I was amazed by the fact that my hair actually turned the same color as in the chart. And it was perfect for around two months but now it’s pretty brassy and I can’t tone it back :(
Yup it always ends up brassy because they hair has been lifted 2 shades instead of simply depositing using a lower volume. You can try using a demi with a lower volume to tone.
If you ever want to remove color from your hair pick up a bottle of Pert Plus at Walmart. It strips the color right out.
Or Head and Shoulders, but I still wouldn't recommend it
So I have light brown hair I guess. It’s not a dark blonde but it’s not a dark brown. I want to add a shade darker and mix it in since highlights and lowlights in the past have left a grown out line in my hair. Anyways, after years of growing my natural color back out, ide like to add some dark mixed in. What should I do or ask for?
Could you mix a weaker developer with box dye instead of using their developer? Or would it not work that way 😅
I used 20 developer with well T18 on my hair to tone it, and I feel like it didn’t do anything except dry my hair out, I’ve been using manic panic mixed with conditioner to tone it but I’m considering using a box dye to tone it (I’ve seen some people do it) but I’m kinda scared I have curly hair and don’t want to damage my curls, I make sure to trim my ends after every hair coloring treatment and so far they’ve been okay, idk though!!
Yikes girl, why did you use toner with 20vol? Toners should only be used with 10vol or lower. Your hair is only going to become dryer if you use box dye, then you'll have a real doozy on your hands if you get the wrong color. Curly hair is dryer in general, so please take care of it and text your hairdresser!
Dyed my hair a few months ago with box dye. It didn’t dry out my hair or do any visible damage but my hair’s already almost back to its original colour despite being permanent. Probably will be trying a different type next time i try dying it.
I wish I saw this before I dyed my hair
I took black box dye off and i ended up with oranger ginger yellow and red hair😂 but my hair so healthy now feels light after removing the build up and my hair finally have some movement and curls, even my hair naturally straight but with dye my hair was like fat heavy and straight and never curled even with heat.
arghh not a good time to come across this vid whilst im dying my hair brown for the 7th time! i really want to go blonde before summer but i dont know how expensive it will be and if it will even work because of how many times i have box dyed my hair dark. Do you have any reccomendations or tips? i was thinking maybe i should just leave my hair to grow out the colour and use shampoos that will fade the hair colour then have a go at going blonde before summer. Would be great if i could get a reply, thankyou!
You have to see a stylist. 7 times overlap of box dye is way too much deposit to lift the hair to blonde. You will need at least a year of highlights and a huge budget to go and maintain your blonde!
I really want a dark brown hair colour like very dark brown, but not black . What would be the best number to go for ? A number 3
Girl Same.
@@yendys5137 honeslty! I went to the hairdressers like a year ago and asked for colour 4 dark
Brown and my hair was like jet black and the pics I showed were dark brown. At the same time I’m not sure if a 5 is dark enough .
I used black box dye, and it turned my hairline brown?
Has this happened to anyone? My original hair color is black, but I just wanted to get rid of my dark brown highlights from the sun.
i have waist long hair that's always been pretty light for an asian person so i was thinking of using box dye to go darker to get that cdrama black.........this video was so nice like you explained everything so well but im scared that now im actually going to do it lmao....
Please don't. To go darker toners or professional demi permanent is the best option. Your hair will turn orange and very dry if you use box dye because the developer will lighten your hair. Once the pigment washes out you will be left with warm brassy tones!
@@sklptdhair RIP thank you so much for telling me! i've decided to use esalon.....i hope it works out lol. i'm soooo vain about my hair
So I saw L'oreal Excellence permanent color at Sally's today. Is that any difference than what's in the box at Walmart? If so how?
Doubt it
i’ve been using box dye for 8 years every month and my hair isn’t damaged and still grows like crazy can’t keep up w haircuts when i got my hair done before at salons my hair would be completely fried but it looked a bit better then doing it at home still not worth it though only came to this video to see why ppl are so against it
I used box dye Last month and m regretting it....can i colour my hair again with loreal mahogany golden blonde professional hair colour to fix it ?
You should see a professional or else your hair will be ruined!
Is box dye toxic to people who don’t show any irritation and pass the allergy-test
Toxic implies allergy so if you pass the allergy test then no
Salon don't like to help, salon don't listen to me.
Box dye is not good!!! It is blocking your hair shalft and plus all the product to mantain the colour from cheap category it help to block hair even more. Ending up loosing hair all day long and hair start to behave badly because they are full of parabenc sillicons and dye. Stop using thata my advice to all woman. If you want to colour your hair aim for a good hair colour brand and shampoos if not then stick to you natural hair and use natural shampoo and twice a week conditioner and daily smooth your hair with oils more helthy look and less cost no damage.
