10 Top-Rated & Affordable Home Hair Coloring Products of 2021!

Getting your hair dyed at the salon is probably one of the most expensive yet basic services you pay for - it can cost anywhere from less than a hundred dollars to more than five hundred. Naturally, if your local salon does it right, then you'll come out of that salon looking like an entirely different person. But if you regularly color your hair, sometimes all you need is a little highlight or a gentle touchup to get your hair to its pristine look.

 

A lot of the time, those slight modifications can be done entirely at home - for little more than a few bucks, rather than the fortune you may otherwise have to spend at the salon. At-home hair coloring not only saves you money but your time as well. You can achieve a new look, all from the comfort of your own home.

 

Although not all hair color products are reliable, many are still easy to use and offer great results after a quick application! So, if you're looking for reliable, high-quality, and easy-to-use hair color products, then you've clicked the right page! Here is a list of the top-rated hair color products on the market.

 

Clairol: Natural Instincts

Clairol's drugstore products have been chosen as the best overall products repeatedly, and this one's no different. In addition, this hair color is available in a whopping total of thirty-eight different shades, so you don't need to run around looking for the perfect shade for yourself - chances are, you'll find them in Clairol's Natural Instincts line!

 

L'Oréal: Superior Preference Glam Lights

Beauty gurus generally recommend getting your highlights done from the salon. Although at-home highlights are the last resort for many people, L'Oréal's Superior Preference Glam Lights does the job as well as a salon! On top of being easy to apply (a simple two-step process), it shows quick results, too! All you need to do is take a bit of formula on your highlighting brush and brush it through your hair, and you're as good as done!

 

Madison Reed: Radiant Hair Color Kit

If you have a few stray gray hairs that you can't seem to hide no matter what, then Madison Reed's Radiant Hair Color Kit is the perfect product for you! Although most drugstore products have issues with color and lack of variety, you won't have that issue with Madison Reed. Besides the options of multiple tones, the vibrancy of the color gives you an excellent overall look that is not too over-the-top but still pops out. On top of all that, it's an entirely cruelty-free brand, too!

 

Revlon: ColorSilk

Speaking of stray gray hair, Revlon's Color Silk is another hair color product that is highly recommended. It completely covers gray hair and allows your hair to keep a nice shine you might otherwise be unable to achieve (even after multiple washes!). Color Silk is great for several different hair shades, from brown to auburn and even a fiery redhead!

 

Elgon: Moda & Styling Hair Color

Elgon is one of the best permanent hair color brands out there - all cruelty-free! Originating from and still being produced in Italy, Elgon Moda & Styling Hair Color has earned its rightful place on this list. The formula contains more ammonia than most other hair color products, allowing it to be gentler on your hair, along with smaller dye molecules that make for a longer-lasting dye. The benefits don't stop there - from this line of hair color, you'll have more than seventy-five different shades to choose from, so you're spoiled for choice!

 

Kenra: Permanent Color Creme

This one is for the beginners out there - if you are new to the world of hair color, try using Kenra's Permanent Color Creme. Not only is it easy to apply, but the formula composition makes it easy to use, resulting in a consistent and reliable final look. The color isn't anything fancy, but it's simple enough to try out as a beginner and experiment with until you get the hang of hair coloring and branch off to your more exciting adventures in the world of hair color.

 

Schwarzkopf: Keratin Color Permanent Hair Color Cream

This is another hair color product that is good for beginners - on the cheaper side of the market and easy to apply. It's perfect for when your hair color needs some refreshment, and you don't want it to suffer too much damage. The formula allows for a smooth result and contains proteins that strengthen your hair cuticles instead of weakening them, like most hair colors - it leaves you with stronger hair and fewer split ends to worry about!

 

DPHUE: Color Boosting GLOSS+ Deep Conditioning Treatment

Need to brush up your hair color for a fast-approaching event but don't have the time to fix a trip to the salon? Worry not! This deep conditioning hair color is a color-intensifier with the perfect formula for situations like these - all it takes is as little as three minutes for the results to start showing! However, keep in mind that there are only four distinct shades, and it's semi-permanent, so that it won't last very long!

 

Manic Panic: Semi-Permanent Hair Color Cream

Sometimes you don't want a regular or natural-looking hair color. When you want to go all-out, Manic Panic is the brand you want to go for! From amethyst purple to emerald green and sunlight yellow, they've got you covered! So live out your wildest dreams with your most adventurous hairstyle yet - be it purple, blue, yellow, or pink, the only limit is your imagination!

 

Arctic Fox: Bleach, Please Complete Hair Lightening Kit

It's no secret that bleaching can ruin your hair if done wrong - that's precisely why at-home bleaching isn't strongly recommended. That said, you can't go wrong with this bleaching kit - it's packed to the brim with ingredients including castor oil, sunflower seed oil, and cocoa seed butter that will reduce any damage that bleaching will result in.
