If you frequently dye your hair at home, you should definitely invest in a box of cleanroom gloves. Anyone who colors their hair at home on a regular basis knows how awful the gloves you get with your hair color can be. They are thin and flimsy. They tear easy, come apart at the seams, and slip while you’re using them. While it’s fairly considerate of hair color companies to provide their customers with gloves for the dying process, most cut corners to the point that the gloves they provide are virtually useless. The gloves are often printed in sheets and glued or melted together to create a thin plastic glove. While this allows them to provide gloves without raising the cost of the product, these gloves are often faulty and should only be used in the case of a last minute hair dye emergency. The chance of getting dye all over your hands is too high.
If you’re a fan of do it yourself hair dye, invest in a box of cleanroom gloves. They are sturdy enough to protect your skin from the dyes and chemicals in hair dye and they provide freedom of movement that their glued plastic cousins could only dream of. Don’t get caught red, brown, or blond handed. Buy gloves worth using.
