The Various Hair Coloring Products
Hair Coloring Products
are usually of four categories –
a.) Temporary b.) Semi-permanent c.) Deposit only/demi-permanent
d.) Permanent.
All products but temporary color require a patch test before application.
The idea is to determine whether the client is allergic to the product.
a.) Temporary Hair Coloring Product – In this product the pigment
molecules are large. So it does not penetrate the cuticle layer. And that
allows only a coating action that may be removed by shampooing.
Acid dyes are used to coat on the hair surface. Acid dyes have low affinity
to hair. And can be removed after a shampoo.
The temporary hair coloring products are typically used to give brighter and
more vibrant shades or colors. For example orange or red.
The various product forms in which temporary hair coloring products are
available include – Rinses, shampoos, gels, etc.

b.)Semi permanent
Hair Coloring Product</a> – This product deposits color on the hair
shaft without lightening it. Having smaller molecules enables it to
penetrate the hair shaft.
It does not have any developer. And may be used for heat for penetration.
It remains intact up to 8-14 shampoos.
c.) Deposit only/demi-permanent Hair Coloring Product – It uses a
mild, creamy developer of a lower volume than permanent color.
There is an ammonia substitute called MEA in some demi-products. MEA helps
with penetration and
can lift natural color.
Demi-permanent hair coloring product penetrates the hair shaft in a slight
manner. It makes hair shiny and covers/blends some gray.
d.) Permanent Hair Coloring Product – This product, mixed with
developer, remains in the hair shaft til new hair growth occurs.
Its uses are matching, lightening and covering gray hair.
Usually it contains ammonia, oxidative tints, and peroxide.
The allergic reaction coming from hair dye is most likely occur each time
one dyes his hair. And that will probably get worse every time.
