Hair dyeing lets you have fun with your hair and switch it up depending on your mood. However, it can genuinely be expensive to go to the salon to bleach, dye, and maintain your hair.
Thankfully, there are now several Filipino hair dye brands that give you non-damaging products without breaking the bank. We’ve compiled some of them in the list below, from hair dyes that costs P90 (~USD1.75) to a brand that’s safe even for pregnant and lactating moms.

For cool moms and their kids, Herani hair dyes are vegan, cruelty-free, and ammonia-free, so they’re safe for kids, pregnant women, and lactating moms. The brand also promises dye that doesn’t dry out your hair and can be used on rebonded hair.
They offer 12 hair colors that come in 150ml tubs (P199, ~USD3.87) – each good for shoulder-length hair. The color lasts four to six weeks.
Due to the effectiveness of their Herani’s hair dyes, these sell out fast at their official Shopee store. However, you may be able to get them from their many authorized resellers online.
