Semi-permanent hair color is designed to enhance the natural color without making a long-term commitment. It gradually fades with washes and doesn't deeply penetrate the hair shaft.
Balayage is a freehand painting method that creates a natural, sun-kissed effect, making it less drastic than traditional highlighting.
Ammonia is included in hair dye formulas to open the hair cuticle, allowing the color to penetrate the hair shaft effectively.
Permanent hair dye is often recommended for covering gray hair as it provides long-lasting coverage and penetrates deeply.
Demi-permanent hair color lasts longer than semi-permanent dyes, gradually fading over time, and usually contains low or no ammonia.
Bleaching is a method used to pre-lighten hair, making it possible to achieve vibrant and vivid color results.
Color melting involves blending different shades to create a soft transition between colors, ideal for clients with dark hair aiming for a subtle change.
Highlights involve applying color or lightener to select strands of hair, adding depth and dimension as opposed to a single-processed color application.
A strand test is crucial before applying permanent hair dye to ensure proper color results and to check for any adverse reactions.
Cap highlighting involves pulling strands of hair through a perforated cap to achieve a naturally highlighted look.
