What if all t-shirts, jeans, or underwear were only sold "one size fits all"? Certainly they would fit some people, but not everyone. That's what box hair color is like, it does work for some people but definitely not for the majority.
Box hair color is designed to go on "worse case scenario" type hair. Meaning that the manufacturer needs to make sure it works, or at least has an effect (good or bad) on any type of hair, hair color, hair texture, or hair porosity it is applied to. The box color cannot take into consideration that your are a blonde that is trying to back to their natural medium brown and that your hair needs a filler. Or that you have more than 75% grey hair and need more tonal deposit. Or that your hair turns brassy and you need ash added to your formula, but not too much ash to turn your hair blue or green. (FYI: I have personally had to correct all of these issues, and more, from box color on more than one occasion, it's not fun, is time consuming, and expensive to correct.)
The photos and commercials lie! I mean seriously, do you really think that celebrities advertising for box color companies would even let their locks near the stuff? I don't think so. It important to know that the photo/swatch on the box is not what you are going to get. “They’re often retouched, and only a professional understands how the existing and natural shades and hair condition will affect the outcome.” Stylist Choice Awards Favorite Educator of the Year, Beth Minardi.
It's about the formula. When your stylist mixes up your hair color, it is just that, YOUR hair color. Box color cannot be customized to be just for you, they are selling it to the masses! Customization is what makes the end result more natural looking and the most flattering for you.
