Our Favorite Boxed Hair Dyes

There comes a time in a women’s life when she’s willing to take that big step and do something that she can only dream of….. and that is dying her hair!  Well maybe it’s not that big of a deal to you but to others it may be. I’m 30 and I still have a couple of friends that have never dyed their hair which is mind blowing to me. Although I rather they seek a professional, my girlies did ask me what are the best hair dyes on the market.

First and foremost, you need to know what level your natural hair color is considered. Hair color companies will have diagrams and charts [that] show which color and undertone each color provides. If you're going for a drastic change, remember to go slow: one shade at a time.

Covering your Grays and Roots

Clairol Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch-Up, is one my favorites for box hair dye. This brand’s color range makes it easy to find your perfect shade so that you can mask roots and grays with the included “precision brush" in just 10 minutes. It is claimed as the #1 Root Touch Up and the dye lasts up to 3 weeks.

What's great about this brand of hair dye is that it uses an exclusive 60% oil blend with natural flower oils in the colorant. It uses an ammonia-free solution to provide a less damaging method to hair dye.

Another awesome product by Clairol, what is great about this brand is that it doesn't have a strong offensive smell. Many testers online and ourselves saw that this product provided 100% full coverage. Overall, I've been pretty happy with Natural Instincts. However, one concern is that this product uses a semi-permanent formula. It's not a perfect solution for a long length of time.

Shine & Gloss

John Frieda Color Refreshing Gloss is easily a favorite among the “blondes” in our office, this ammonia and peroxide-free gloss restores color without leaving strands dull and dry. This is a great product to use for in between coloring to give your hair color a bit more vibrancy.

The Best

Wella Color Charm gets high marks on our list! Wella haircolor provides long-lasting, fade resistant results and excellent gray coverage. Wella uses a gel formula and demi-permanent creme. The colors that come out is always true to tone and that processing time is quick.
