COLOR THEORY

If you want to dye your hair at home, IGK Color has a bevy of signature shades to pick from. Its professional-grade formulas are safe, easy to use and nourishing (read: ammonia-free). In fact, its ingredients are clinically proven to leave hair 15 times shinier, 88 percent softer and smoother and reduce breakage by 40 percent (compared to an untreated control). That’s due to squalane, orchid extract and bamboo extract. During application, be sure to wear the included gloves and start from the back of your head, applying color in small sections using the tip applicator. Move on to the crown before finishing at your hairline, making sure to massage for even application. Want to lean into your gray or play with the trends of the time? Opt for Titanium, a cool gray that flatters. $25; igkhair.com and ulta.com
