Semi Permanent

What is semi permanent hair dye?

Semi permanent hair dye is a type of hair colour that coats the outside of the hair without penetrating deep into the hair structure. It contains little to no ammonia or peroxide, which means the hair is not chemically lightened. Semi permanent hair dye is often used to add colour, enhance existing tones or experiment with creative shades such as purple, red or blue.

How long does semi permanent hair dye last?

Semi permanent hair dye usually lasts between four and eight washes. This can vary depending on your hair type, hair porosity and how often you wash your hair. Bright colours such as blue and purple may stay visible slightly longer, especially when you use colour safe hair care products.

Does semi permanent hair dye damage your hair?

Semi permanent hair dye is considered a gentle colouring option and generally does not damage the hair. Because it does not contain harsh chemicals, the natural hair structure remains intact. Many formulas even include conditioning ingredients that leave the hair feeling softer and looking shinier after colouring.

Can you cover grey hair with semi permanent hair dye?

Semi permanent hair dye can lightly blend grey hair, but it does not provide full or long lasting coverage. Grey hair often absorbs pigment differently, which can result in a softer or more translucent colour. For temporary blending or subtle colour changes, semi permanent hair dye can still be a good option.

What is the difference between semi permanent and demi permanent hair dye?

The main difference lies in how the colour works and how long it lasts. Semi permanent hair dye stays on the surface of the hair and fades gradually. Demi permanent hair dye penetrates the hair slightly deeper and therefore lasts longer. Demi permanent colour usually requires a mild activator, while semi permanent hair dye is ready to use straight from the bottle.

Tips for longer colour retention

To enjoy your colour for as long as possible, try washing your hair less frequently and use lukewarm water. Choose shampoos and conditioners made for coloured hair. Avoid excessive heat styling and protect your hair from sun exposure. Refreshing the colour regularly with semi permanent hair dye helps keep the shade vibrant and fresh.
