Semi and Demi Permanent Dyes

By far the most popular products for temporary hair color, semi and demi-permanent dyes are the best thing to use in case you’re not too into experimenting and want a color you can enjoy more than a couple of days. These colors contain very small amounts of ammonia as well as finer color molecules that ensure a longer-lasting color that can still be rinsed out within a few months. Demi-permanent dyes contain just a tad bit more ammonia than semi-permanent ones and are therefore great for covering grays. Give them a go in case you want real color that needs more than a couple of washes to wash out yet isn’t strong enough to significantly “lift” the base color or cause damage to your hair.
