A hair dye kit.
Semi-permanent hair dye is a type of dye used to color hair that begins to fade in about four to five weeks. Since the dye usually only covers a small part of the hair follicle, most colorists don’t recommend it for stubborn gray hair. This type of hair dye does not lighten the hair, but it changes some shades or enhances the natural color.
Henna can be used to make a reddish hair dye.
Most types of semi-permanent hair dye are made from organic material, including fruit extracts and henna. It is different from permanent hair dye because it does not need to be mixed with an activator and has little or no peroxide. Other companies use extracts from flowers, vegetables, and herbs such as turmeric and ginseng. Some people prefer semi-permanent dyes because they are more likely to contain all-natural ingredients that are considered better for the environment.
Semi-permanent hair dye lasts up to five weeks.
Manufacturers of semi-permanent hair dyes typically package the dye in spray or cream containers. People using the products are advised to test a small amount on the scalp before use to check for skin irritation. If no irritation occurs, the user should spray the product on the hair or apply the cream with a brush and allow to dry. After the color has been in the hair for twenty to thirty minutes, the person should rinse the hair and use the deep conditioner for colored hair that comes in the package.
The semi-permanent color lasts about six weeks and lightens after washing.
Since the dye is semi-permanent and lasts at least four or five washes, it is considered a coloring product. When someone is using it in their bathroom, it is necessary to clean the sink and any other places that the paint touches as quickly as possible to avoid stains. If the ink gets on your skin, it can also temporarily darken the area or cause a rash, so wash it off right away. The tint kit usually includes a pair of gloves to wear if you use the cream application to keep your hands from getting sore.
Semi-permanent dyes are good for enhancing the natural color of your hair.
When choosing a semi-permanent hair dye, it’s important to choose the right color to avoid a shade that may be too dark for your hair or skin tone. The tint boxes have a color chart on the back that shows whether the tint is suitable for warm tones, cool tones, or neutral tones. In color, the “hue” indicates the degree to which the color will lighten the client’s normal hair color. If a person decides that he does not like semi-permanent paint once it is applied, he should either wait until the paint comes off or go to a professional stylist to have it removed.
