Most of us have dyed our hair at one point or the other, be it to cover the greys or just to have a fun, new look. There are four major types of hair dyes available – permanent, semi-permanent, and demi-permanent. Permanent hair dyes have a considerably larger percentage of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia that makes it stay on hair longer. Once applied, a permanent hair dye works by lightening the hair’s natural pigment so that a new colour can be added to it. As a result, one can have permanent coloured hair until new hair grows. A permanent hair dye is not preferred by most as once the process is done it cannot be reversed easily.
Semi-permanent hair dyes can last up to 26 washes. This type of hair dye is great when you want a temporary change in hair colour that gradually fades off. Demi-permanent hair dyes or temporary hair dyes last for about 6-8 washes. These are good for those who like to experiment with different colours or for first-time users who are unsure as to how the dye would turn out.
If you are looking to change your hair colour for just a night, then the hair dyes that come off in just one wash are best for you. With this type of hair dye, you don’t have to put up with a hair colour that doesn’t turn out as planned. Such hair dyes are also great when you want to change your looks for a special event or occasion, like a Halloween party.
Today, there are so many shades available in hair dyes that choosing the perfect one for you can be an uphill task. Some hair dyes provide neutral shades such as brown, medium, pale red, tan brown, mahogany brown, brunette and cinnamon brown. Blonde hair dyes include straw coloured blonde, golden blonde and white blonde. However, if you want vibrant, dramatic results, you can opt for manic pinks, kiwi greens, brilliant oranges, electric blues, bright purples, fluorescent pinks and soft lilacs. You can even streak your hair with a hair dye, depending on your preference.
