In what type of bowl is color mixed?

In the process of mixing hair color, a plastic bowl is the most commonly used option. This is because plastic is non-reactive, meaning it will not interact with the chemicals in the hair color, thereby ensuring that the color's integrity and effectiveness are maintained. Additionally, plastic bowls are lightweight, easy to handle, and often come with measurements marked on the side, which can help in precise mixing of color and developer.

Using glass bowls can be risky, as they might be heavy and can break easily. Metal bowls are generally avoided due to the possibility of chemical reactions with hair color that could alter the shade or reduce the effectiveness of the color. Ceramic bowls, while they are sturdy, can also have issues similar to glass in terms of weight and potential breakage, as well as possible reactions depending on the type of ceramic glaze used.

Thus, the choice of a plastic bowl is not only practical but also ideal for achieving the best results in hair coloring.
