Madison Reed Haircare Review | Non Toxic Hair Color

by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 18 Comments

Many of us who are older struggle with the question, “Should I go gray or keep dying my hair?” It’s a very individual decision. If you are not ready to go natural, you may be concerned with what chemicals are seeping into your head when you go to the salon or dye your hair at home. Madison Reed makes non-toxic hair color that nourishes your hair and helps keep it shiny and voluminous.

There are no harsh ingredients

Hair color can be harsh, and because it goes directly on your scalp, it is normal to have concerns. Many salons are opting to stock products that are low in ammonia, which is good. But other chemicals in hair dye are known to cause cancer. You take those risks every time you get your hair colored.

Madison Reed hair color may be just what you’re looking for

The formulas in Madison Reed products do not contain toxic or harsh ingredients. Every product in its line is ammonia, resorcinol, paraben, and PPD-free.

You will never be bothered by strong fumes, feel itchy, or worry that your hair will fry. Madison Reed products contain argan oil, keratin, ginseng root, and other beneficial ingredients that protect and fortify your hair.

If you are not used to coloring your hair at home, the video below gives you an idea of how it works to cover up your gray hair.

Color Reviving Gloss

Don’t you hate it when your hair color begins to fade, but it’s not quite ready for a full hair color treatment? Madison Reed’s Color Reviving Gloss will refresh your hair color, reduce brassiness and make your hair feel shiny and more youthful. It is also easy to apply. Choose from 7 semi-permanent shades + one universal clear shade. This product won the 2020 Allure Best of Beauty Award.

Watch this video demo of how it works.

Shampoo and Conditioner

Madison Reed has expanded its line of Shampoo and conditioner products to address specific needs women have with their hair, called ColorSolve. You can customize your products depending on your hair type and hair color. It adds hydration to your hair and also a color-depositing shot to keep your hair color as fresh as if you just colored it.

Gray hair touch-ups

Root Touch Up + Brow Filler is a powder you can use on your roots and brows. This is perfect if you are in a pinch.

Visit a Madison Reed Hair Color Bar

Not everyone feels comfortable coloring their own hair. Madison Reed now has Hair Color Bars in various locations so you get the benefit of non-toxic hair color and a professional colorist. Services include root touch-ups, all-over color, roots and gloss, highlights, roots and highlights, and blowouts.

    You look great. I love that it includes the eyebrow brush, that’s a great invention.

    You look great either way but, wow, that touch up kit is amazing! I would be terrified to do my own color and have been using my beloved Laura for years. I can’t imagine my hair without her!

      I’m the same way. Doing it myself doesn’t work for me, but touch ups are easy with the kit. However, for someone who can do their own hair, it saves money and that fact that it’s a healthy product is phenomenal.

    I remember my mom trying to color her hair one and it was a disaster – and smelled. So I’ve never tried it myself and I’m sure I never will. A few weeks ago I added blondish highlights to the color I’ve been having dyed for years. I think it brightens my face a bit. You look great with your kit and color! Yay YOU!

    I really need a touchup kit to help out between colorings. Those gray hairs seem to sprout just days after I’ve had my hair colored.

      It really seems like it, doesn’t it? They just pop out when you least expect it.

      My streaks often look orange in photos, and with my fizzy hair, kinda like Bozo. I need to find a new colorist or stop coloring my hair at all, a BIG decision.

        I know what you mean. My hair has a tendency to get red. Usually, a little ash keeps that from happening. The decision not to color is life changing. For me, I’m going to keep doing it but I know women with gorgeous gray hair.

    My colorist does my hair because I like to have low lights, highlights and, well, I like to have HELP! My big question is always “what colors go best with..” whatever my new color is. This summer I’m red–strawberry blondish. All makeup and fashion colors seriously changed!

      That’s true. A change in hair color changes your entire palette. My mother used to be a color consultant so I’ve always stuck to my “winter” colors. And I hear you about the help. I need lots of it.

    What a great idea – dark hair and gray are always at odds with each other and this looks like a great way to keep the visits to the hairdresser to a manageable time frame. Looks like you’re on a winner!

      Yes, my insistence on keeping my hair dark makes the gray show up almost immediately. But it’s nice to be able to cover it up when I need to and no one can tell the difference. I love the root-touch-up.

    Rebecca – I still have my kit and forgot all about it. Didn’t know it had an eyebrow brush. Will be getting that sucker out tomorrow. Your hair looks lovely!

      Thanks, Cathy, yes get your kit out. You will love it. Saves you a few trips to the hairdresser, that’s for sure. And the gloss is terrific too. It revives your color when it starts to fade and makes your hair feel soft and beautiful.
