Regular moisturizing is crucial, especially for long-time color maintenance on natural, coarse, or long hair. Avoid hot water instead, use warm water to preserve the color. Aftercare for Longevity: Post-coloring, use color-safe shampoo to maintain your chosen shade (e.g., vibrant red).Avoid ion developer for a gentler formula, which is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive scalps. For those with long hair, ensure even application for consistent color. Applying on the Right Hair Type: Semi-permanent color works best on pre-lightened, dry hair.If it’s your first time, a strand test on a small section of hair ensures the color suits your natural hair color and doesn’t irritate you if you have sensitive skin. Protect your skin with petroleum jelly around the hairline. Preparation is Key: Use a non-metallic bowl for mixing the ion semi-permanent hair color.
For gray hair, consider the level of color intensity and pick a shade that offers easier access to your dream hair color. Choosing the Right Shade: Select a semi-permanent color that complements your skin tone and fits your style, whether it’s a bold new look or a subtle natural color.
