I run a salon and I make a lot of money coloring hair, so it's strange to write this, but I've started telling my own clients to stop booking root touch ups and I want to explain why because it's not what you think.
Traditional hair dye looks good for only nine days
Because hair grows about half a inch a month, within a week you start to notice greys coming in and within a month you see it every time you pass a mirror.
Traditional appointments costs anywhere from $100 - $200.
How much damage traditional hair dye causes
This part takes three minutes to read. Read it, because it's the most important thing if you want healthy radiant hair that turns eyeballs.
There's a reason why hairdressers wear gloves.
PPD and Ammonia are extremely toxic and leaves a stain that's very hard to get rid of.
Ammonia forces the outer cuticle to open, which allows PPD (the coloring agent) to get inside to create permanent color pigment.
This process works, but when done repeatedly every 5 weeks, eventually it leads to serious damage.
This is why after many years of using box dyes you start to notice
- Hair falling out
- Fried ends
- Dry Hair
- Scalp Irritation and Redness
- Allergic reactions
The negative side effects don't happen instantly, they compound over time. And the sooner you fix this, the more your future self will thank you.
One day a man walked into my salon and offered a different solution
He was the founder of PearWood. After years of seeing how much damage his clients were seeing, he was fed up with how traditional box dyes hadn't innovated a new formula that could fix this serious issue.
He told me he had developed a new formula that doesn't contain ammonia or PPD, doesn't stain your hands, and you can lather it onto dry hair just like a shampoo, wait 15 minutes and get perfect coverage that lasts up to 2 - 4 weeks.
I honestly didn't believe him at first, and so I did what I always do. I tested it on myself first before it goes near any clients.
And the truth was shocking.
It actually did exactly what he said. Perfect coverage. No gloves needed. No stained hands or fingers. No burning or itching sensation. I felt it was truly a breakthrough.
And so I tested it on dozens of clients and the same result every time.
They all loved it. Especially how healthy their hair came out, and how fresh it smelled because it doesn't contain ammonia.
Every single one of them bought a bottle that day, and honestly as a professional who values the happiness of her clients more than making money, I don't care if they stop coming in to dye their hair, I care more that they get the best hair possible.
Now what makes PearWood So Great?
When you take all the harsh ingredients out, you have more room for the good stuff. Now most brands fill that with whatever's cheapest, PearWood doesn't compromise.
This one uses six plant extracts, 3 of them do most of the heavy lifting:
He Shou Wu
The main rootUsed on hair for centuries. The whole formula is built around it.
Ginseng
For your scalpIt nourishes the skin making it feel soft and moisturized
Ginger Root
SoftnessThis goes deep into the hair cuticles and makes hair softer. So instead of fried and dry, it's conditioned.
This is their proprietary formula called the Root Restore Complex.
In 15 minutes, not only can you get perfect coverage, but you're also getting a hair treatment mask at the same time.
What My Clients Said
"I was skeptical that something that does not have ammonia can cover your grey. But it did. Look down — no grey, no lines."
"No burning at all. And no strong smell. It feels really light on the hair — like I just have wet hair, not like I have product in it."
"It's not very dramatic. But it's still a change. That's exactly what I wanted."
"I feel younger. I look younger. So I'm loving it."
How To Use It
Three Steps. It's actually that easy.
Pump it onto your hands, no gloves needed. Lather it up.
Apply it thoroughly onto your hair.
Wait 15 minutes then rinse it out. If you want longer lasting coverage I recommend applying it for 25 minutes.
Compare this to how expensive a salon is
| Salon | Your shower | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | About $180 a visit | Under $5 a wash |
| How often | Every 5 weeks, about 10 times a year | Every 2–4 weeks, whenever you want |
| Per year | Around $1,800 on roots alone | 10–15 washes per bottle |
| Your time | Book, drive, 90 minutes, drive back | 15 minutes, at home, doing something else |
| Days you look covered | About 9 out of every 35 | All of them, if you want |
| What it costs your hair | Ammonia, developer, PPD — every time | None of those three |
What it won't do
Every product page skips this part, but I want to be honest with you.
- It won't lighten your hair
- It won't make you blonde
- It's not permanent, it gradually fades over 2 to 4 weeks.
- If you don't wipe it within 5 minutes it will stain your hands.
- It's not cheap
30 days — even if you've used it
Use it and decide if it's right for you or not. Even if you've used the bottle, they offer a 30 day money back guarantee.
