General Information:
I want to keep the colour in my hair for longer…
If you are sensible, you clean your hair frequently, using good-quality
products, and -most importantly - remember to condition it well. You have the
ends cut regularly by a skilled stylist, so as to prevent weathering effects
such as split ends. If you are thinking of
changing your hair colour you
get advice first from an experienced hair technician, who can tell you how much
colour change
your particular hair can stand, and which hair colouring products would be suitable.
Natural colourings
Natural colours have been used on hair since ancient times. Most of them are
made from plants. Henna is by far the best known. It is widely used to this
day to redden hair, especially dark hair, and the colour produced lasts through
several shampoos. But its concentration is difficult to control, and hence
results can be unpredictable. It has been reported to cause
asthma and allergies in some people, and people who suffer from these ailments
should be wary of using it. Henna should
not be used on grey hair, as it turns
it orange!
Semi-permanent dyes
Special hair dye preparations are made for colouring grey hair. They can be used
to add highlights too. They do not contain a single dye but mixtures of red,
yellow, blue, and orange dyes in various proportions. The dyes have small molecules,
which means they can pass through the cuticle into the cortex easily, and without
damaging the scales of the cuticle. Since they can enter the hair shaft easily,
they can also be
washed out relatively
easily.
They can last for 6-12 weeks, and tend to fade or lighten over this time. The red dyes seem to be the quickest to leak out of the hair, and as a result the hair can look drab after a few washes.
Semi-permanent dye preparations do not contain bleaches, and are therefore
safe to use. They can be used at home. Without bleach, however, they cannot
colour hair lighter than its natural shade.
Permanent hair colour
This is the kind of hair colouring that is
used most commonly throughout the
world. It is the type that has to be used if a
complete change of hair
coloris required. Highlighting or colouring just part of the hair using a permanent
colour is possible, however.
When shampooing
after hair colouring, or indeed after any chemical processing
of hair, use a shampoo with an acid balance as this will help the cuticle scales
to close up and lie smooth again.
