Key Takeaway
Samsol hair color isn't sold on BigBasket.pk, so we can't verify its price — here's honest guidance plus the verified color-care products we do stock.
Samsol hair color price in Pakistan isn't something BigBasket.pk can verify — we don't stock the brand, so we won't quote a number we can't stand behind. Samsol is a budget, drugstore-style tube dye sold through local pharmacies and general stores, and pricing on that shelf varies too much by city and shop to publish as fact.
What we can do is help you buy smarter either way: how to judge a fair local dye price, how to avoid counterfeit or expired stock, and which genuine, verified colour-care products we do carry to protect and repair whatever hair colour you end up with.
What Is Samsol Hair Color?
Samsol is a locally sold, drugstore-style hair colour brand in Pakistan — the kind of tube dye you'll find on a shelf at a neighbourhood pharmacy or general store rather than at a curated beauty retailer. Like most budget cream dyes sold this way, it's typically marketed for quick grey coverage in basic shades such as black and dark brown, applied at home without a stylist. These products are common across Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and smaller cities because they're cheap and easy to grab on a routine shopping trip.
What makes this category tricky isn't the concept — home hair colour is completely normal — it's the supply chain. Local dye tubes sold through open general-store shelves rarely carry the batch tracking, sealed authenticity checks or ammonia-concentration disclosures that branded, imported colour lines do. That's the real reason price alone shouldn't be your only decision factor.
Why BigBasket.pk Doesn't Stock Samsol Hair Color
We're honest about this upfront: Samsol hair color price in Pakistan isn't listed on BigBasket.pk because we don't carry the brand. Our catalogue is built around verified, authenticity-checked beauty and hair-care lines — brands like Framesi and L'Oréal Paris that come through traceable import channels with consistent batch quality. Local pharmacy dye brands like Samsol are typically sourced and priced through informal retail networks that we can't independently verify batch-to-batch, so rather than list a number we can't stand behind, we'd rather point you toward products we can guarantee.
This isn't a judgment on Samsol as a brand — plenty of Pakistani households use budget dye tubes without issue. It simply means if price and authenticity confirmation both matter to you, your local pharmacy or general store is the place to check current Samsol pricing directly, since it varies by shade, pack size and city and isn't something a single nationwide retail price applies to.
What Actually Drives the Price of Hair Dye in Pakistan
Instead of guessing a figure, it helps to understand what separates a low-cost local tube dye from a professional colour-care line — because that gap explains most of the price difference you'll see across Pakistan. Budget dyes are typically single-step, ammonia-based cream formulas manufactured for volume and shelf turnover; they don't carry conditioning polymers, UV filters or colour-lock technology. Salon and imported ranges — including the hair care lines we stock — are priced for formulation depth: bond-protecting actives, fragrance stability and dermatologically tested ammonia levels.
So when you're comparing a cheap tube dye to a branded aftercare product and wondering why the numbers look so different, it's rarely just packaging. It's the difference between a product built to change hair colour once, and one built to protect that colour and your scalp afterward. Both have a place — but they solve different problems, and neither should be judged purely on which number is smaller.

The Risk of Buying Unverified Dye Off a Local Shelf
Karachi's humidity and long summer heat are hard on any opened cosmetic tube, and unverified local dyes are especially vulnerable because they often sit on unrefrigerated, sun-exposed shelves for months before sale. Ammonia-based colour that's been improperly stored can shift in potency — sometimes weaker (patchy, uneven colour), sometimes harsher (scalp burning, especially on sensitised skin). Without batch coding, there's also no reliable way to check whether a tube is genuine stock or a repackaged counterfeit, a known issue with budget beauty products sold through informal Pakistani retail.
- Always patch-test any home hair dye on your inner elbow 48 hours before full application, regardless of brand.
- Buy from a pharmacy or store with visible turnover, not a dusty back-shelf item.
- Check the tube seal and expiry date before you leave the counter — don't assume the cashier has checked it for you.
- If your scalp is already irritated, flaking, or recently chemically treated, skip a fresh dye job until it settles.
Protect Whatever Colour You Put On
Whichever dye put the colour in your hair — salon, semi-permanent, or a budget tube like Samsol — the fading process afterward is the same: the cuticle stays slightly raised for days, and ordinary sulfate shampoo strips pigment out faster than it should. This is where a genuine colour-protecting shampoo earns its price. Framesi Morphosis Color Protect Shampoo is formulated specifically to seal colour-treated hair and slow fade, and it's also available in a 250ml size if you want to trial it before committing to the full 1000ml bottle. Pair it with the matching Morphosis Color Protect Conditioner to close the cuticle after every wash.
If you're already budget-conscious enough to be comparing Samsol pricing, the more wallet-friendly route is L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Protect Shampoo 360ml, currently discounted to PKR 870 from PKR 1470 — a genuine, verified formula at a price point that still respects a tight budget without leaving colour-care out of the routine entirely.
Repair the Damage a Harsh Dye Can Leave Behind
Ammonia-heavy home dyes — budget or salon-grade — leave hair more porous and prone to dryness, frizz and breakage, especially through Lahore and Islamabad's dry winter months when hair already loses moisture faster. If your strands feel rougher or more tangled after a colour job, that's the cuticle telling you it needs rebuilding, not just conditioning. Asma Doll Keratin Shampoo is built to smooth and strengthen chemically treated hair, and following up with Asma Doll Hair Oil a few times a week helps restore slip and shine that harsh dye strips away.
Think of this as the maintenance side of the equation Samsol pricing doesn't include: a cheap dye tube gets you colour, but it rarely comes with anything to repair what the process costs your hair. Budgeting a small amount for aftercare — even just one bottle from the hair care range — usually costs less than fixing breakage later.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming every hair-color brand sold in Pakistan has one fixed nationwide price — local pharmacy dyes are priced shop by shop and city by city.
- Skipping the patch test on a new dye tube, even a familiar budget brand, especially if the scalp is already sensitised.
- Buying dye from a dusty, low-turnover shelf without checking the seal and expiry date.
- Using regular sulfate shampoo right after coloring, which fades colour far faster than a colour-protecting formula.
- Ignoring post-colour hair repair and assuming a good dye job doesn't need any follow-up care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of Samsol hair color in Pakistan?+
We can't quote an exact figure because BigBasket.pk doesn't stock Samsol — it's sold through local pharmacies and general stores where pricing varies by shade, pack size and shop rather than a fixed nationwide retail price. Check with your nearest pharmacy for the current price, and confirm the seal and expiry date before buying.
Does BigBasket.pk sell Samsol hair color?+
No. BigBasket.pk stocks verified, authenticity-checked hair-care brands like Framesi and L'Oréal Paris rather than local drugstore dye tubes such as Samsol, so it isn't listed on the site.
Is Samsol hair color safe to use at home?+
Any ammonia-based home dye, Samsol included, carries a risk of scalp irritation if the product has been poorly stored or is a counterfeit repack, which is a known issue with unverified local retail in Pakistan. Always patch-test on your inner elbow 48 hours before applying, and buy only from a shop with visible stock turnover.
What shampoo should I use after coloring my hair with a local dye brand?+
Any freshly coloured hair, regardless of brand, benefits from a colour-protecting shampoo to slow fade. Framesi Morphosis Color Protect Shampoo (available in 1000ml and 250ml) and L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Protect Shampoo 360ml at PKR 870 (down from PKR 1470) are both verified options on BigBasket.pk.
How can I repair hair damaged by harsh hair dye?+
Ammonia-heavy dyes leave hair porous and prone to breakage, so follow up with a rebuilding routine rather than just conditioner. Asma Doll Keratin Shampoo and Asma Doll Hair Oil are formulated to smooth and strengthen chemically treated hair.
How do I know if a local hair dye tube is genuine and not expired?+
Check for an intact factory seal, a printed batch code and expiry date, and buy from a pharmacy or store with steady turnover rather than old back-shelf stock. If the cream smells unusually strong of ammonia or the tube seal looks tampered with, don't use it.
The Short Version
TL;DR: BigBasket.pk doesn't stock Samsol hair color, so we can't verify its price — check your local pharmacy directly and always confirm the seal and expiry date before buying. For genuine, verified colour-care instead, see L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Protect Shampoo or browse the full hair care range.
