HEALTH & BEAUTY - or doesn’t… With Chris Moody of Moody Hair
I often get asked by clients about changing their hair colour ‘just for the summer.’ “Nothing too permanent….”
COLOUR MYTHS Permanent, semi-permanent
and even demi-permanent can be misleading and confusing terms to most. So let’s clear up some colour myths. The first thing to understand is
that virtually every box colour you buy on the high street and the vast majority of salon hair colours will permanently change the state and colour of your hair. ‘Permanent’ colour refers to
the product making a permanent change to the state of the hair; the colour result may fade and alter over time, but the chemical change in the
hair will result in a lasting change of shade or colour and remain until that hair has been cut away. If the product involves mixing
two different components together before application, whether it’s two bottles or a twist, break and shake, then it will cause permanent change to your hair. Called oxidising dyes, the two components are a colour cream or liquid and an oxidiser, usually hydrogen peroxide. ‘Ammonia-Free’ does not
mean non-permanent, just that an ammonia alternative is used in the formula. They are usually a less aggressive formula and a little gentler on hair. For the best ‘short-term’ summer
colour, consider a more subtle change to your natural colour - the less extreme, the less permanent the effect. Partial colours are an excellent
way to make small, less permanent changes to your hair colour. Face
framing highlights around the front, or accents of deeper richer colours to veil over the top will beautifully
enhance your natural colour without committing you to more than a couple of months.
Here are some general guides to permanency. Please note these will depend on the product, hair, application and timings.
• The bigger the contrast between your natural hair colour and the new colour, the more permanent the change will be. The closer the two colours are the more it will fade.
• Covering grey or white hair with a dark shade will result in a permanent change. The shade may fade but it’s very unlikely to go back to what it was.
• You cannot temporarily lighten hair. If hair is dyed lighter it stays light. It may become dull or brassy over time but it won’t go back to its original colour.
• Very light hair is easily ‘stained’ by even the gentlest colours and will often result in a lasting change of shade.
• Changing the development time of
colours - how long you leave them will affect the depth of colour but will not alter the chemical changes that take place within the hair.
• Temporary, wash-out colour products are only ever single component products (one bottle) used straight onto the hair with no mixing. They do not lighten.
• Permanent does not mean it lasts forever. Even permanent colour fades, but it is very unlikely to leave hair exactly how it was before it was coloured. There will be some time of permanent change until that hair is cut away.
As always consider a free, no
obligation consultation with your preferred, professional salon.
