Hair Coloration

Changing your hair color at home is easier when you can compare brands, formats and shade options in one place. NexusCare's hair coloration range brings together well-known names like GARNIER, HERBATINT, PHYTO and L'Oreal Paris, so you can pick a coloration that fits your routine and your hair's needs.

A buying guide to home hair coloration

Hair colorations vary mainly by formula type, shade family and finish. Permanent colors like GARNIER Color Naturals and PREFERENCE By L'Oreal Hair Coloration are designed to give long-lasting, even coverage from root to tip. If you prefer an ammonia-free option, the GARNIER Olia Permanent Ammonia Free Hair Color offers a gentler formula while remaining a permanent color. For those who want a more plant-based approach, HERBATINT's range - including shades like HERBATINT 1N Black and HERBATINT Ff4 Violet - covers naturals, coppers and vivid tones such as 5R Light Copper Chestnut and 10N Platinum Blonde, alongside a Chamomile Shampoo formulated to complement colored hair.

PHYTO's coloration kits are another option worth considering if you're looking for a plant-derived brand identity, with shades such as 6.34 available in the range. Whichever brand you choose, always read the full ingredient list and instructions on the box before use, and do a patch test as directed on the packaging.

Choosing the right shade and formula for your hair

Start by identifying your current base shade and how much grey or previous color you're working with, since this affects how a new color will develop. Warm tones like copper and honey blond (see HERBATINT 5R and 9N) suit those wanting richness and depth, while cooler or platinum shades like HERBATINT 10N are aimed at lighter, ash-leaning results. If you color your hair regularly, pairing your coloration with products from our Hair Care Products collection can help maintain the look of freshly colored hair between applications. For a broader routine around colored or treated hair, our My Hair Treatments selection is also worth browsing.

If you're unsure which formula, shade or brand suits your hair type, or if you have any scalp sensitivities, it's best to check the product label carefully and consult a pharmacist or your hairdresser before applying any hair coloration at home.
