Demi-Permanent Hair Color FAQ

What is the difference between demi-permanent and permanent hair color?

Demi-permanent color deposits tone without lifting. It uses a low-volume developer (typically 5-10 volume) and contains no ammonia or very low ammonia. It fades gradually over 20-28 shampoos instead of growing out with a hard root line. It cannot lighten hair.

Does demi-permanent cover grey hair?

Demi-permanent color blends grey rather than fully covering it. It typically provides 50-70% grey blending, giving a natural, softer result. For clients with less than 50% grey, demi-permanent can be an excellent low-commitment option.

How long does demi-permanent hair color last?

Demi-permanent color typically lasts 20-28 shampoos, or about 4-6 weeks depending on how often you wash your hair. It fades gradually and evenly, so you do not get a hard line of demarcation at the roots like permanent color.

What developer do you use with demi-permanent color?

Most demi-permanent lines use a dedicated low-volume processing liquid or a 5-10 volume developer. Never use 20 or 30 volume with demi-permanent color. The specific activator depends on the brand. For example, Wella Color Touch uses 1.9% or 4% emulsion.

When should you use demi-permanent instead of permanent color?

Use demi-permanent for toning after lightening, refreshing faded color, blending up to 50% grey, adding shine and richness without commitment, color-correcting, and for clients who want low-maintenance color that fades naturally.
