Whenever celebrities and industry influencers start fawning over a new beauty brand only available in salons, we can’t help but take notice! Lately, there has been mega buzz surrounding Organic Way (Oway) – an Italian-based holistic beauty brand. Their exclusive range of hair color, care, treatments and styling products pioneer a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. Their Hcolor line was even voted best permanent ammonia-free hair color by Beauty Launchpad readers. To get the scoop, we turned to Simply Organic Beauty, who exclusively launched the Oway brand in North America last year: “We believe true beauty is achieved when you look and feel your best. To us, that means choosing products that are in line with your values and don’t harm your hair, health or our planet. All products must also perform to the highest standard, and we believe we’ve found that perfect balance with our Oway line,” says Rebecca Gregory, Simply Organic’s…
I am SO excited to finally be sharing this review with you guys. It’s been a long time coming, but the wait was totally worth it. Oway is everything I wanted, and more, in a color line. I have been researching non toxic hair color for at least a year now and none of them fit all of my needs, until I found this one. There are no extra steps, it’s easy to formulate, and it has all of the same benefits as regular hair color without any of the harsh chemicals. Here are some advantages to using organic color: Many chemicals in toxic hair color are known carcinogens and directly relate to an increased risk of Leukemias, Lymphomas, Bladder Cancer, and even Alzheimer’s. The chemicals in traditional hair color penetrate the hair shaft by opening up the cuticle, causing breakage. Because organic color uses no harsh chemicals, it’s actually GOOD…
What is Organic Hair Color? In the professional beauty industry, the term “organic hair color” refers to hair color made with organic botanicals and less chemicals. Organic, in this sense, is the same definition we use for our organic food standards: Botanicals grown without the use of pesticides. When most people refer to “organic hair color” they’re referring to professional organic hair color brands formulated with least amount of synthetic chemicals and the maximum amount of organic botanical ingredients. While beauty professionals know the chemistry of hair color and how it works, many consumers do not. We hope this article sheds a little more light on the term “organic hair color” and how it came to be.…
FIND A PERFECT (ORGANIC) SALON Guiding you to awesome hair. Cutting your own hair = BAD IDEA! Going to a salon that you haven’t fully stalked and researched = ALSO BAD IDEA. Hair is often considered to be one of those things that is truly sacred and…it can really benefit from an expert’s intervention (to cut + color + maybe be your therapist or new friend). All in all, finding a salon and a stylist that you love can really be…life-changing – in more ways than one. …
Ammonia-free hair colour is a major trend in hair colour technology, and over past few years all the major hair colour brands have launched, or are launching, ammonia-free permanent colour ranges. So how do ammonia-free colours work and what does it mean for the health of your hair? In the past ammonia has been used in permanent hair colors to give better, more durable colors and allows for more significant color changes. Ammonia partially removes the natural colour from the hair. It opens up the surface of the strand so that the hair colour can get through and effectively lifts out the natural hair pigment so that the hair colour molecules can penetrate and deposit. Essentially, ammonia has been largely responsible for hair color’s ability to alter hair hue without washing out after only a few shampoos. This method of depositing colouring the hair has been commonly reported to have side effects…
Anyone who’s a regular reader of herworldPLUS will know that I’ve done just about everything you can do, to my hair. Year later I’ve ended up with a super-sensitive scalp that’s not too happy about being dyed, let alone bleached to white blonde. So, despite the fact that I had very blonde hair for ages – it was a bit of calling card in fact – I’ve had to eschew the blonde for black for the last couple of years. After a great experience using Original & Mineral (O&M) hair dye to get my signature colour, however, I was given hope that maybe there was a way of getting back into bleaching my hair. Finally I could be blonde again! Two shades of blonde using O&M’s ammonia-free hair bleaching system. Images: O&M O&M does have an ammonia-free bleaching system. Like the rest of the O&M range of haircare colouring products, the lighter shades –…

Almost every single woman I know dyes her hair. Whether it’s to highlight her natural color, cover grays, or don a whole new look, using hair dye has become the norm. In fact, when I dyed my hair for the first time last year, my friends and co-workers were astonished. How, they wondered, had I gotten all the way into my 20s without booking a single color session or picking up boxed dye while running errands? The short answer is that I liked my natural hair color. But I was also concerned about exposing my strands to harsh chemicals that would damage them. (My hair is so sensitive that I stockpile hair masks and oils like it’s my job. Shout out to Olaplex’s take-home treatment . We’ve all seen the warnings on the boxes—even though they’re there to encourage safety and best practices, it’s still enough to put a little hesitation in mind. This is where…
