box dye
Home hair color
Box dye is hair coloring sold in retail stores for home use, packaged with everything needed for application—dye, developer, gloves, instructions.
The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone among hairstylists, who contrast it with professional salon color: She ruined her hair with box dye.
The convenience comes with less precise results and harsher formulas.
