What Is Considered Box Color?
Box color is a hair dye that is pre-packaged and sold in drugstores or supermarkets. It is designed for at-home use and usually comes with instructions on how to apply the color on your hair. Box color typically uses a “one-size-fits-all” approach, meaning that it does not take into consideration the unique needs of an individual’s hair, including texture, porosity, and existing color. Box color can be harsh on hair, as it contains high levels of ammonia and other chemicals that can damage hair and cause breakage. Overall, box color is considered a less personalized and potentially damaging method of coloring hair compared to hair salon services.
