If you’ve stepped into your early thirties, chances are those grey hairs are peeking out of your head. Hair colouring is certainly one of the most commonly practiced grooming measures taken by men. But there are a lot of things you must think of– should you go to the salon or do it yourself at home? Will it be time-consuming? How much effort will you have to give? Will it be expensive?

Well, fret not, we are here to give you a broad overview of hair colouring at home and the salon, and also provide with the best possible solution for the same!

Pros:

• It is much more affordable to buy boxed colours than colouring your hair in salons.

• It might be more convenient, since you can catch up on some work while the colour sets. Being at a salon offers much less flexibility that way, since you must block out a good two hours of your day simply for getting your hair coloured.

Cons:

• It’s difficult to guarantee 100% coverage and proper application if you are applying colour yourself. There are some obvious impediments that come in the way– getting hold of those greys at the back of your head or covering each strand even at the front can be quite hassling.

• It can also be difficult to find a suitable, good quality and non-expired hair colour on your own. There are many factors that come into play, including how much time you have at hand, what is available in your local shops and how long it has been sitting on the shelves.

Pros:

• You don’t have to worry about the quality of service. Since trained professionals will be handling your hair, you can rely on them for providing maximum coverage that is long-lasting.

• Salons also use tried and tested products that do minimum damage to your hair.

Cons:

• Colouring your hair in the salon is certainly an expensive affair. Since you need to get something like this done at least once a month, it can prove to be quite costly in terms of general expenses.

• It is also time-consuming and less flexible. You need to travel to your salon, wait to get attended, wait till the colour in your hair sets. And its unlikely you’ll be able to do anything else unless it’s replying to a few emails on your phone or watching a video.
