Semi-Permanent and Temporary Hair Color FAQ

What is the difference between semi-permanent and permanent color?

Semi-permanent color coats the hair with pigment and needs no developer, so it does not lighten and fades gradually with washing. Permanent color uses developer to lift and deposit. Semi lasts a few weeks, depending on hair porosity and wash frequency.

Will semi-permanent color show on dark hair?

Bright and pastel shades show best on pre-lightened hair. On dark hair, semi-permanent color adds subtle tone at most. Lift to the right level first, then choose your shade from the brand's color chart. Also remember that natural underlying pigment can shift the final shade, so a strand test saves guesswork.

Which brands are in this collection?

Pravana, Oligo, Joico, and Keratin Complex are carried here, with items like Pravana ChromaSilk NEONS, Oligo Funkhue, Joico Color Intensity, and Keratin Complex Graffitiglam. Each has its own shade range, so compare charts. Because each brand builds its shades differently, do not assume two blues or two pinks will match.

How do I make semi-permanent color last longer?

Wash less often with cool water and use a color-safe shampoo. Fashion shades fade fastest on porous or bleached hair. A conditioning treatment can help, and refreshing the color between services keeps it vivid. Skipping hot water and heat styling as much as possible also helps the pigment stay put longer.
