Advanced Cosmetic Technologies

Coloring your hair usually involves lots of chemicals and other harmful ingredients, but Advanced Cosmetic Technologies (ACT) now offers a plant-based hair colorant system that DH was eager to use.

According to the website, "Advanced Cosmetic Technologies introduces the first and only PPD-free, 100% plant-based permanent hair color. Completely free of harsh chemicals, our products contain absolutely no PPD, resorcinol or ammonia. None."

We were fortunate to receive a Permanent Hair Coloring Kit for DH to try. Of the 13 shades, DH chose the Medium Natural Brown 5N shade (ARV $29.99).

DH said the instructions were easy to follow and liked how there was no irritating chemical smell (when I went to check on him I couldn’t smell anything either). Although the blow-drying step was time consuming, the hair-coloring process went pretty smoothly, and he ended up with hair color that was identical to the shade on the color chart and kit box.

DH did suggest that maybe there should be more than one processing cap and one pair of gloves in the kit, especially if you use only half the bottle of color like he did since he has short hair, and wanted to use the remaining product in the future.

DH and I both agree that it's great that ACT has introduced a Hair Coloring Kit that is a natural and safer alternative to the typical hair coloring kits that men and women use.

Shop: You can purchase Hair Coloring Kits on the ACT Naturals website.
