The urge to change the color of our hair is nothing new. Women have been dyeing their hair since the beginning of time. The ancient Egyptians dyed their hair after shaving it from their heads and turning it into intricate curled and braided wigs. Ancient people used saffron, indigo, alfalfa and henna as temporary color solutions, but there is evidence that Greek and Roman women used permanent hair dye.

After thousands of years of searching for the perfect hair color and often resorting to dangerous chemicals, modern women can thank William Henry Perkin for discovering the formula for today's hair color creations.

Modern hair coloring began in the mid-19th century, when the well-meaning English chemist worked to create a drug for malaria – not to change the color of the hair on his head. Instead he created purple; a never-before-seen color that was more vibrant and long-lasting than any dye known at the time. This happy coincidence was the basis for creating the beautiful hair color palettes we see today.
