STEP 2.

COLORING MY HAIR, WILL IT CAUSE DAMAGE?

When using permanent color, hydrogen peroxide (developer) is used to lift the hair color. The hydrogen peroxide works by opening the cuticle layer of hair, which allows the color molecules to penetrate the cortex, depositing the color that can damage your hair if not done correctly. Damaged hair can be caused by two reasons: when the wrong level of peroxide is used or if constant changing of your hair color, referred to as OVER-PROCESSING.

However, if you choose, a semi-permanent or demi-permanent hair coloring is used with no developer. The semi-permanent or demi-permanent color will add shine to your hair but will only last for a couple of shampooing your hair.

SEMI-PERMANENT HAIR COLOR.

Semi-permanent, it is not formatted to make hair lighter. The color will only last for six to ten shampoos. Semi-permanent will add shine and will condition your hair. If you are a beginner at trying hair coloring, semi-permanent coloring is a great choice to start with.

DEMI-PERMANENT HAIR COLOR.

Demi-permanent hair color contains low amounts of peroxide, which is unlike semi-permanent. This will give a slight light look to your hair. The reason for getting a little lighter look is that demi-permanent contains low amounts of peroxide. Demi-permanent deposits the color between the cuticle and the cortex; this allows the color to last for 11 to 20 washes.

To lighten the hair, the requirement is achieved by using bleach or peroxide, which removes the pigment in the hair, allowing you to achieve a lighter look. In some cases, the pigment is removed to allow a lighter color is applied to give a fabulous new look.
