Selecting the right colour
This is the tricky part in considering permanent colour and your hair. A wrong colour can be a disaster. More so, since hair colour is more or less permanent, even if it means four or five weeks, it is a nuisance to live with those pitiful or provocative stares from people across the street. So take your own time when considering permanent colour and your hair. What is the colour of your eye? This will answer what the right colour of your hair should be. Two shades lower or higher than the colour of your eye will produce the best results.
However if you are feeling a bit adventurous and wild, you can opt for those shocking colours like fluorescent pink or green coupled with black or white. These colours produce the effect they are meant to produce-shocks! Colouring your hair with these wild shades can actually sometimes make you feel upbeat and ready to take on the world.

Permanent hair colour or semi permanent hair colour?

A combination of peroxide and the colouring pigment work in conjunction to deposit the colour on the strands of your hair. There is a lot of chemistry involved here which we will conveniently skip. Coming back to the point, peroxide will bleach your hair which means, it robs the hair of all its moisture.

Semi permanent hair colour is very mild in comparison to permanent hair colour. The good news is that semi permanent hair colour does not contain peroxide. This means your hair’s moisture along with the natural oils is safe with it. Yet you get a mid shaded look along with a beautiful shine. A semi permanent colour and your hair would make a better combination than permanent colour and you. Think it over before you make the choice of the hair colour.
