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 browse 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 such as GARNIER Color Naturals and PREFERENCE By L'Oreal Hair Coloration are designed to give even coverage from root to tip, while the GARNIER Olia Permanent Ammonia Free Hair Color offers a permanent result without ammonia in the formula. L'OREAL PARIS Excellence Hair Coloration Creme is another permanent option, and PREFERENCE covers a range of tones for those working with existing color.

For a more plant-derived brand identity, PHYTO's coloration kits, such as the PHYTO Color Kit Coloration, sit alongside HERBATINT's Herbal Hair Color line, which pairs with the brand's Normalizing Shampoo and Chamomile Shampoo formulated for colored hair. LAZARTIGUE Couleur Absolue Permanent Haircolour and ELCEA Coloration are further formats to consider if you're comparing textures, tools included in the box, or finish. Whichever brand you choose, always read the full ingredient list and instructions on the packaging, and carry out a patch test as directed before full application.

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 develops on application. Some formulas are built around root touch-up coverage, others around all-over color change, and it's worth checking the box for the specific shade number and finish before adding to cart. If you color your hair regularly, pairing your coloration with products from our Hair Care Products collection can help support the look of colored hair between applications, and the My Hair Treatments selection is worth browsing for a broader routine around treated hair. The 3 CHENES Color Et Soin and ELCEA Coloration Radiance Enhancing Mask are also formulated to work alongside colored hair as part of a wider care step.

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.
