Why choose permanent hair color?

Permanent hair color is ideal if you want a long-term change. Unlike temporary or semi-permanent dyes, permanent color penetrates the hair’s cortex, providing lasting results. It’s perfect for covering gray or white hair, enhancing natural shade, or changing your look completely.

Once applied, permanent hair color stays until the hair grows out or a new color is applied. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain it, especially after a few weeks when root regrowth becomes noticeable.

What's the best permanent hair color?

The best choice is professional permanent hair color. When coloring your hair, quality matters. Professional formulas not only last longer but also deliver more consistent results that match your desired color. Additionally, professional hair color tends to be less damaging to your hair due to superior ingredients. When selecting a brand, it often comes down to personal preference and the availability of the color you’re looking for.

Coloring your hair at home requires some preparation. Getting professional advice from a hairstylist before starting is always a good idea. Once you’re ready, you’ll need the right tools: gloves, brushes, measuring tools (scales or graduated cylinders), and bowls. Before applying the color, it’s essential to perform an allergy test. Apply a small amount of the dye to your forearm, leave it for a few minutes, then rinse. Wait 48 hours to ensure no adverse reaction like itching or redness.

When coloring, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the dye mixture evenly.
  2. Section your hair into small parts.
  3. Apply the color evenly across all sections.
  4. Respect the recommended processing time.

After processing, rinse your hair with cold or lukewarm water to seal the cuticle and lock in the color. Rinse until the water runs clear, and then wash your hair with products specifically for color-treated hair to help maintain the color over time.

Is it possible to dilute permanent hair color?

You cannot dilute permanent hair color with conditioner. Some people like maintaining their color between sessions by mixing color-enhancing products with conditioners. However, this method doesn’t work with permanent hair color. Instead, color enhancers are a great option to keep your color vibrant between salon visits.
