Do you really need foam hair color?

Why do we need foam hair color?

Hair color manufacturers have been making constant changes to their products trying to address the grievances of the customer. And in the process, a number of new products have been discovered. Foam hair color is a new product that is a result of this constant search for brilliance.

Over the years, customers all over the world have been complaining that the crème formula that they have been using loyally is a bit messy to use, moreover they are not hundred percent accurate in covering the grays. So, in order to overcome these difficulties, the experts came up with this new concept of foam hair color. It did address these shortcomings of the crème formula and that too till great extents.

How to get it done?

The application is very easy, it is almost like shampooing your hair with a little bit of extra steps followed. An important plus point of a foam hair color is also that it really colors the hair and not merely tints it. The color penetrates your hair when kept for the mentioned interval of time and produces great results. As a matter of fact, the term appropriately used with hair foam is ‘treatment’ rather than coloring. So, this in itself is a reason enough to foam your hair.

Advantages and disadvantages of foam hair color

The biggest positive point in favor of the foams that you will notice the various manufacturers highlighting in the product’s advertising is that it is really easy to use. Who wouldn’t want to color their hair by just foaming it? Compared to all other complex methods of coloring up your hair, this is by far the easiest. The other very big plus of foaming is that the color stays on for a very long period of time; it lasts much more than crèmes. It treats your hair in and out, making it shiny, giving it a great texture which acts as a protective covering. These are the enough reasons to dump the old crèmes and go right away with the foams. Is it? Not yet, not anything in this world can be without negatives. And so is the case of foams. It is true that the coloring does stay longer; but there is no denying the fact that it may not be the color you are actually looking for. To say it in a simpler way, the foams as of yet have not been successful in providing the customers the satisfactory colors they are looking for. It fails to deliver the color it promises. Either the color gets darker than required or lighter than the ideal color. It is a different thing that your grays will remain covered up, even it’s not the exact color you would want to cover them with. The point to be noted here is that although good hair coloring was never a very cheap affair, foaming may just allow that to become a bit more expensive. That is because once you buy a bottle of the foam, it is for coloring your hair just once. The directions are such that once opened, a bottle must be used up straightaway. No storing the remainder for future use. This is a very big drawback for foams.

Foam hair color vs crème hair color

Your hair becomes extremely shiny and permanently colored, giving it a great texture. Add to these positive points the fact that the foam smells sweet; this was a draw back in case of many crème formulas. They had an awful smell due to the presence of ammonia. This is also a very good explanation of the fact that the foam is sans ammonia, a very harmful component for your hair.

Beauty best-ies

At present, in the cosmetics market, foam hair color’s best two manufacturers are John Frieda & Samy. The products of these two manufacturers have the highest reviews in the market. The “intensive red” from Samy is a big hit. They specialize in that color and the product is sure to give you the best results if used correctly. Similarly, the 4R dark brown color of Frieda is a super hit among the customers.

The beauty-ramp verdict

Thus, we can reach the conclusion that for personal use, foam is definitely easier if you can compromise with the perfect hair color you exactly want. In most cases, I don’t think anyone would do that. So I suggest. Let your crème do the work as of now. Give the experts a bit more time to make the foam better and then go on foaming your hair.
