Why Choose Semi Permanent Hair Colour?
If you’re looking for a soft refresh or a temporary change, semi permanent hair colour is a great option. It’s low-commitment and gentle on the hair. Unlike permanent dye, it doesn’t fully penetrate the hair shaft and does not permanently alter the color. As a result, there’s no ammonia, no harsh chemicals, and no long-term damage.
Because of its versatility, many people use semi permanent hair dye to experiment with a new tone or boost shine. It’s also perfect for blending greys or toning highlights. Even better, it fades gradually. This makes upkeep simple and stress-free.
In fact, if you’re not quite ready to commit to a permanent change, this is an ideal place to start. It allows you to explore new colours without any pressure.
How Does Semi Permanent Colour Work?
This type of colour usually lasts around 20 to 24 washes. However, how long it actually stays depends on your hair type, the products you use, and how often you shampoo.
Thanks to its gentle nature, semi permanent colour is a solid choice for anyone focused on hair health. It also comes in handy between appointments, especially if you want to refresh your tone or reduce brassiness.
In many cases, people use semi permanent and permanent hair color together in a layered routine. This allows for long-term dimension without constant touch-ups. So, whether you want to tone, blend, or simply boost your current colour, this method can easily adapt to your hair goals.
