Demi permanent or hair gloss is a short term hair colouring, that penetrates the hair cuticle but does not alter the natural hair colour.
Demi permanent color is almost the same as semi permanent dyes except for the fact that they last longer. Demi permanent dyes usually last about 28 washes and they are deposit-only dyes. This dye will not lighten your hair. This is also good for people who want to add vibrancy or go darker without the commitment.
Usually it is combined with 10 Vol developer but it has been seen demi permanent dyes with even less volume developers such as 9 developer. This means that you're putting a very small amount of peroxide in your hair and it will barely damage your hair.
This type of dye can also be used as a toner and if you need to refresh a fading permanent color. Also use this if you're going to dye your hair unnatural colors such as pastel colors and or neon colors. There's also demi permanent dyes that are used to just add shine instead of color.
Cost, Upkeep and Consideration[]
- Low commitment.
- Mid row maintenance cost if kept up;
- Reapplication after 5-8 weeks or 12-24+ shampoos.
- Meant as a low to no damaging dying option.
Removal[]
This type is a "Two Component Formula" (No-Ammonia Colorant and an Activator or Developer) they start out colorless and the color becomes visible or develops after mixing and applying to hair. They last from 20 to 30 washes depending on brand and your hair type.
This type may require removal if you apply a shade that is very dark or intense to a lighter hair color or to damaged or already colored hair. For this type of color a color remover without bleach or peroxide is your best choice: Color Oops, Jheri Redding One 'N Only, Vanish, Color B4 or Rusk Elimin8. These reverse the process that created the color and allow you to wash it out without affecting the remaining natural pigment in your hair.
