London-based beauty brand THE UNSEEN has released the COLOUR ALCHEMY™, a hair dye that is inspired by the beautiful shades of nature, like beetle shells and peacock feathers.

This revolutionary hair dye was formulated in collaboration with Schwarzkopf Professional, one of the world’s leading haircare brands, to dye your hair in never-before-seen colour spectrums using the power of science.

What’s even better is that this cruelty-free collection is bleach-free, which means it won’t harm your hair or scalp and will even work on the darkest hair tones. Talk about versatility!

How the THE UNSEEN COLOUR ALCHEMY™ works

Fortunately, no black magic was used in the creation of this game-changing innovation. COLOUR ALCHEMY™ works by scattering light in kaleidoscopic hues that transform and shift in response to temperature, activating from 28 to 33ºC.

The colour-changing effect would then be triggered by sunlight, body temperature, the use of heated tools, and even simple movements.

This mimics the visual effect of nature’s “structural colour” phenomenon, similar to how you might see a holographic rainbow effect on an oil spill puddle by the roadside on a hot sunny day.

How to wear COLOUR ALCHEMY™

COLOUR ALCHEMY™ is extremely easy to use; simply paint or sponge the gel-cream formula into your hair, allow it to dry, and wait for the magic to happen.

There are five vibrant holographic shades to choose from, and because they wash out easily, you’ll never get bored with your hair colour since you can easily switch to a new COLOUR ALCHEMY™ dye:
