Question

I'm looking for recommendations for permanent hair dye ingredients. I can barely find any right now. I need black and dark brown colors.

Answer

Based on your request for permanent hair dye ingredients in black and dark brown, achieving permanent hair color typically involves an oxidative dyeing process. This requires a base cream containing dye precursors and couplers, which are then mixed with a developer (usually hydrogen peroxide) before application.

We have found products that serve as a base for permanent hair dye formulations, such as the Permanent Hair Cream series. While specific black or dark brown colored bases might not be readily available as individual components, these bases (like the Permanent Hair Cream (Color: Ash) or Permanent Hair Cream (Color: Dark Blue)) contain the necessary ingredients (such as Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate, p-Aminophenol, and Resorcinol) to create permanent color when combined with appropriate dye molecules and a developer.

For achieving brown shades, Basic Brown 17 (Basic Dyes) is a relevant ingredient. It is a cationic dye commonly used in hair dye formulations, including permanent and semi-permanent types, to provide brown tones.

To formulate a permanent black or dark brown hair dye, you would typically use a permanent hair cream base along with specific black and brown dye components. The exact combination of dyes and their concentrations will determine the final shade.

Here are some relevant products:

  • Permanent Hair Cream (available in various base colors like Ash, Dark Blue, etc.) - These serve as the base for permanent hair dye formulations.
  • Basic Brown 17 (Basic Dyes) - An ingredient used to achieve brown shades in hair dye.

Please note that formulating permanent hair dye requires careful consideration of ingredient ratios, safety regulations, and proper mixing procedures. It is also important to be aware that the mixer must register with the FDA before selling hair dye products.
