Colour Me Red

Have you been thinking of colouring your hair? If yes, then read our hair colour guide to know what kind of hair colour is good for you. There are various types of hair colours like, temporary hair colour, semi-permanent hair colour and permanent hair colour.

Each one works in a different way and has different effect on your hair. Before you head to the salon and get yourself coloured red, you must understand how it affects the quality and life of your hair. Of all the types of hair colour temporary  hair colour is the best. It does not penetrate inside the hair shaft so there is no damage to your tresses.

It merely forms a thin coat on the strands and can be washed away with shampooing. Since the colour does not go deep inside the hair shaft, the damage is less and your hair remains in good condition. However, it is important to rinse the colour off before hitting the bed. Sleeping with hair products on is the worst thing you can do to your mane.

Another advantage of temporary colouring is that you get an option of using different colours. You can experiment with a wide variety of colours. They are available in the form of hair mascara and are easily washable.

The other types of hair colour i.e. semi-permanent and permanent are stronger in nature. The modify the structure of your hair. Typically, a permanent hair colour will enter inside the hair shaft and break the existing colour pigments. The chemical then adds the new colour pigments to the hair and this is how you get the colour.

Permanent hair colour stays forever, as your hair grows the colour moves down. Though the colour is permanent in nature, it may fade away due to sun exposure or other environmental factors. If you intend to use permanent hair colour, ensure that you follow post colouring regime religiously.

Hair care after colouring is very crucial, you have to use shampoos and conditioners meant for coloured hair. Also avoid long hours of sun exposure. Keep these simple things in mind before you head to the salon.
