Organic hair color vs. regular color — what's different?

Organic color is a hair-color formula built around plant-derived ingredients, designed to be gentler on scalp and hair. Compared to a typical color, it tends to cause less irritation and less cumulative damage from repeated coloring.

A good fit if

• You color often and notice tingling or itching on the scalp
• You want to keep coloring while minimizing damage
• You have sensitive skin and want the gentlest formula possible

You may want a different option if

• You want a bright, high-tone result that requires bleach — conventional color is the better tool
• You've had an allergic reaction to a hair-color product before — please always do a patch test

What a session looks like

1. Consultation — desired tone, color history, current scalp condition
2. Scalp protection — barrier product applied if appropriate
3. Color application — careful application; we may use different formulas at the roots vs. the lengths
4. Develop — appropriate processing time for color setting
5. Shampoo & treatment — finished with peace's signature treatment
6. Finish — blow-dry and styling check

Total time: ~90–120 minutes

Notes

• "Organic" doesn't mean "allergy-free." Some guests are allergic to plant-derived ingredients — please patch test if you're at all uncertain
• Tone selection is sometimes slightly more limited than conventional color, but the natural-looking range is broad
• If you notice any irritation on your scalp or skin, please discontinue and consult a medical professional.
