What Is Organic Hair Colour? An Ammonia-Free Guide
TEO Kolorist25 January 2026 5 min read
Everything you need to know about organic and ammonia-free colours; differences from chemical dyes and use during pregnancy.
Organic hair colour replaces aggressive chemicals like ammonia, PPD and resorcinol with botanical extracts and lower-intensity pigments. It stands out as gentle for the skin and hair.
How It Differs From Chemical Colour
Chemical colours swell the strand and lock pigment inside. Organic colours mostly coat the surface, so grey coverage is slightly lower but hair health is preserved.
Use During Pregnancy
For guests colouring their hair during pregnancy we recommend ammonia- and PPD-free options. Doctor approval is always preferred.
Longevity
Organic colour lasts 4-6 weeks. Sulphate-free shampoo and colour-protecting masks extend the life further.
