Permanent Hair Colour

How long does permanent hair colour last?

• Permanent hair dye typically lasts between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on factors such as the initial colour and condition of your hair, as well as your hair care routine. Despite its long-lasting nature, regular washing, exposure to sunlight, and environmental factors can gradually fade the colour over time.

What is demi permanent hair colour?

• Demi-permanent hair colour is a type of hair dye that blends permanent and semi-permanent qualities. It typically lasts longer than semi-permanent dye but isn't as permanent as traditional permanent dye. Demi-permanent dyes do not contain ammonia, which makes them gentler on the hair and suitable for adding depth, enhancing natural colour, and blending grey hair without drastic permanent changes.

What is the difference between semi permanent and permanent hair colour?

• Permanent hair colour penetrates deep into the hair shaft with chemicals like ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, lasting until new growth appears. In contrast, semi-permanent hair colour coats the hair's outer layer and washes out gradually over several weeks, without containing ammonia or peroxide. Permanent dye is ideal for long-lasting colour changes and covering grey hair, while semi-permanent dye offers temporary colour options with less commitment.

How to remove permanent hair colour?

• If you want to remove hair colour safely, it's best to consult a professional at a salon. A skilled colourist can use bleach or sulfur-based hair stripping products to lighten your hair, preparing it for a new dye application. They will also assess your hair's condition for any damage and recommend appropriate treatment options.
