As autumn approaches, it’s the perfect time to refresh your look with rich, autumnal hair colors. Shades like copper, burgundy, and warm chestnut are perfect for capturing the season’s essence. But if you’re committed to a clean beauty routine, you don’t have to compromise. Achieve these stunning colors while staying true to your Natural Hair Journey by opting for non-permanent hair dyes and products that are free from harsh chemicals and ingredients.

Why Choose Natural Hair Journey Approved Products?

Many conventional hair dyes contain chemicals, which can be damaging to your hair and scalp. However, for those on a Natural Hair Journey, there are alternative products that give vibrant color without compromising hair health. These products are free of sulfates, silicones, drying alcohols, and other harsh ingredients, making them perfect for transitioning into fall with a fresh, rich color while still protecting your hair.

Maria Nila and IDHair: Color Without Compromise

Brands like Maria Nila and IDHair offer color treatments that not only provide stunning results but are also gentle on your hair. These products are scored low on toxicity and approved for the Natural Hair Journey, so you can feel confident that your hair and the environment are in good hands.

Maria Nila Colour Refresh

This temporary color mask adds pigment while deeply conditioning your hair without harmful chemicals. Notice that the colors Peach, Dusty Pink, Lavender, and Cool Cream are the only ones approved for the Natural Hair Journey. New color, new me for 4-10 washes. And the best part: Maria Nila is certified cruelty-free by PETA.

IDHair Colour Bomb

Their non-permanent color treatments come in 16 different shades, all clean for your Natural Hair Journey. They deeply nourish your hair and pigment your hair color in whatever color you desire lasting for 1-2 washes. Colour Bomb is your shortcut to a new, glossy, and colorful hair day.

Maintaining Vibrant Autumn Colors Naturally

Choosing the right product is just the first step. Proper maintenance is key to keeping your new autumn color looking fresh all season long. The good news is that Natural Hair Journey-approved products help keep your color vibrant while caring for your hair's health.

Sulfate-Free Shampoos: Sulfates can strip away natural oils and hair color. Switching to a sulfate-free shampoo like Brave New Hair Color Shampoo or Aveda Color Control Shampoo helps maintain color vibrancy while keeping hair hydrated.

Deep Condition Regularly: A hydrating mask formulated for color protection, like Ida Warg Colour Protecting Hair Mask or Beauty Jar Colorful Color Protection Hair Mask, used weekly to boost moisture, enhance shine, and prevent color from fading.

Steps for Safe Coloring at Home

Step 1: Start by washing your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo. Rinse thoroughly and remove excess water to prep your hair for the color treatment.

Step 2: Put on gloves and evenly apply the color treatment to your hair, or just to the sections you'd like to color. You can use your fingers or a comb for application.

Step 3: Let the product sit for 3-10 minutes, depending on how intense you want the color to be.

Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with water to remove any excess color, then apply conditioner to seal the cuticle for longer-lasting results.
