Hair Dye Type Options: Permanent, Semi-Permanent or Temporary?

Amanda Dyar
When it comes to hair dye you have three choices which are permanent, semi-Permanent or temporary. Most people are afraid to process their own hair at home since they think their mistakes can not be fixed. I have been coloring my own hair for years now and I have had several disasters with it. I have had several colors that have not turned out the way I thought either they was too dark or too light. If your hair comes out way darker then you wished there is the secret of using Liquid Tide every other day until it is light enough that you either like it or it can be fixed. The best technique in choosing a hair color is first to decide the results you want from it. Depending on whether you are trying to cover gray, highlighting a natural hair color, or using hair color to entirely change your image, it is important to know what you want to narrow your choices.

The first thing to do before your pick a color is to choose what type of commitment you want to it. Temporary hair colors can be shampooed out in a couple of washings, semi permanent products can last for a few months, while permanent dyes can give you grow-out trouble or demand frequent root touch ups. Your personality will be what will carry your color. If your hair color is close to your personality you can be more confident. If you are choosing bright colors such as red than make sure you can pull it off. If you are an easy individual who prefers delicate colors you ought to go for more common and conventional colors. The colors you choose are going to depend on whether you choose temporary or permanent for your coloring solutions. The prices for all three types of coloring which are permanent, semi-permanent or temporary depends on the quality and quantity of dye you get. The prices can range from $2 to $5 for some temporary and semi-permanent colors and even up to $35 and up for more permanent dyes.

Temporary colors that you could choose could be red since it has a tendency to fade quickly. If you are going darker with a black than this can be difficult to remove and should be considered for more of a permanent coloring. The lighter browns are good to start with and could be considered for someone who wants to go permanent. It is always important to do a patch test. If you are using the particular product for the first time or new to hair coloring this is crucial. First you would take a cotton ball to eliminate any natural oil from the rear of your ears and apply a small amount of the coloring product. Give it twenty four hours and if your noticed any signs of an allergic reaction than you should not use the product. It is also important to test the product on a small strand of your hair to see what the color results are before applying it all over.
