Helping from hair stylist?

Last month I went to get my hair semi-dyed. Semi dye is a monthly routine if you wish to keep the color. It will not burn your hair like regular dye will from what I was told.The person that did my hair said it will help my hair in a more healthy rather than burn it.





My question is to all you hair people, since my month is almost up and the color is fading do I semi-dye my hair again?Helping from hair stylist?
Yes. I guess it depends how often you wash it and what you use...Because Semi only lasts 2-3 weeks in my hair.





You can continue coloring it, although they say 6 weeks, even for Semi because it's still a chemical. My mom's been dying her hair for several years now using Semi color and her hair looks healthier than my undyed hair. She takes good care of it, uses Pantene or Suave, and she doesn't overdry it or use any products, at all really. She does her color about every 6 months because the shade she's using is close to her natural color. If you're using a color that is, you should try this. (She does it herself and uses Loreal Color Spa)Helping from hair stylist?
There are two types of haircolor that fit the description you made. Semi-permanent is a no lift, no ammonia haircolor that uses a low volume developer. It is permanent, it both penetrates and coats the hair shaft, it will fade somewhat and can leave you with a line of demarcation. I would say it is far less damaging than ';permanent'; haircolor, but would not say it would improve the health of your hair, even though it is shinier. Demi-permanent haircolor is what the public has believed to be semi-permanent, in that it fades out gradually and doesn't leave a line of demarcation. This type of haircolor is also no lift, no ammonia, but does not use a developer. It coats the hair shaft only and causes no damage. The easiest way to tell which type of color was used is simple; either ask your stylist or check for roots. Regardless of which type of color was used, if you want to maintain the color and shine you had a month ago you will have to have it colored again. A cautionary statement: if 'semi-permanent' color is used and a 'zone' application technique is not used, you will end up with damaged hair over time.
First off, regular dye does not ';burn'; hair. It uses a higher percentage of peroxide to open the shaft of the hair and therefore allows the color to penetrate and this is how the color becomes permanent. With semi or demi permanant hair color, a lower percentage of peroxide is used and therefore the shaft of the hair is not opened. The color lays on the outside of the hair and washes away slowly. Depending on which type of color is used, will depend on how long the color lasts. Semi and demi permanant colors, however, can build up on the hair and become lasting and permanent with repeated use, so you need to ask yourself if this is a color that you really like. If the answer is yes, than monthly or every six weeks is usually a good amount of time for a touch up of color. Hope this info helps!
If you want to keep the color, yes. If you are tired of it, dont.
