How To Color Hair Without Damage

However, this can also have some repercussions on your hair. Some hair colors are formulated using harmful chemicals and constant exposure to them can damage your hair. But this doesn’t have to mean that you stop coloring your hair and experimenting. We are with a couple of hair coloring alternatives, that won’t damage your hair and also help in nourishing it.
1. Semi-Permanent Hair Color
Hair colors are broadly divided into two categories of permanent and semi-permanent. Permanent hair color penetrates completely through the shaft of your hair. Whereas, non-permanent hair color just coats the hair shaft and penetrates slightly. Since semi permanent hair color simply coats the strand of your hair, it results in lesser damage.

2. Ammonia Free Color
