If you don't want to hurt yourself (or rather your hair), it's better not to mess around and go to a hair salon. The hairdresser knows what she's doing, she has the right equipment. Nothing can replace a good oxidant.
When dyeing your hair, an oxidant is needed to open the hair cuticles, allowing the color to penetrate. Replacing it is not recommended as it may affect the end result.
However, if you want to minimize harmful chemical effects, you can look for natural alternatives to standard paints.
For example, henna is a natural hair dye that does not require an oxidant.
Another solution may be oil-based hair dyes, which are less harmful to the hair.
However, keep in mind that results may vary depending on the type and color of your hair.
