Wondering if you can pull off dyeing your hair at home without a trip to the salon? Why not try foam hair dye? It’s easy to apply and delivers salon-quality results straight to your bathroom!

Why choose coloured hair mousse?

Compared with traditional cream dyes, colouring mousse offers a whole range of unique benefits.

The key benefits of the foam consistency

Easy to apply: The mousse spreads evenly along the entire length of your hair.
Drip-free: The consistency ensures clean, mess-free application.
Cost effective: A small amount of the product covers your whole head.
Natural results: Subtle tinting without harsh lines.

Types of foam hair dye

What types of colouring mousse can you choose from?

Permanent foam dyes

These colouring hair mousses give long-lasting results and are ideal for a complete colour transformation. They contain oxidising agents that ensure a permanent colour change for your hair.

Ammonia-free foam hair dye

A gentle option for fragile hair. A foam ammonia-free hair dye delivers gorgeous results without harsh ammonia.

Tinted hair mousse

Tinted hair mousse is perfect for subtle changes of shade or refreshing your current colour. It gradually washes out, letting you experiment without any long-term commitment.

Tinted styling mousse

Tinted styling mousse combines styling with colour. This clever foam not only adds colour but also sets your hairstyle and boosts volume. Anti-yellow versions of styling mousse are specially designed to neutralise unwanted brassy tones in blonde, grey or white hair. And as a bonus, you get lasting style guaranteed.

How to apply foam hair dye the right way

Step-by-step guide:

Prep your hair: Wash your hair with shampoo but no conditioner.
Do an allergy test: Always do a patch test on your forearm at least 48 hours before use.
Application: Work the colouring mousse in evenly from the roots to the ends.
Processing time: Follow the recommended timing in the product instructions.
Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Tip: Have a dark towel ready, as freshly dyed hair can still bleed a little colour after the first wash, even if you’ve rinsed it well.

Hair care after using a foam hair dye

After using foam hair dyes, proper aftercare is key:

Use shampoo for colour-treated hair. Remember, the more often you wash it, the faster the colour fades.
Apply a nourishing hair mask once or twice a week.
Protect your hair from strong sun (with a UV spray or a hat).
Minimise heat styling.

Foam hair dye FAQs

Is colouring mousse suitable for all hair types?

Yes, hair colouring mousse is suitable for all hair types – dry, oily, straight and curly. If your hair is damaged, weigh up the risks of using it just as you would with any other type of hair dye.

How long do the results last?

It depends on the product – tinted hair mousse lasts for 4–6 washes, while permanent versions can last for up to 8 weeks.

Can I combine different shades of tinted styling mousse?

Yes, you can mix tinted styling mousse to create unique effects on your hair. But with standard foam dyes, it’s best not to, as the results can be unpredictable.
