Permanent Color for Long-Lasting Results
The first thing to consider when shopping for hair color kits is what type of hair dye is best for you. If you want to dramatically lighten your hair or are more than 50 percent gray, experts typically recommend using permanent hair dye. Permanent hair color permanently alters the color of the strands, so you only need to touch up your roots as your hair grows. The downside to permanent color is that it can damage hair and leave it dry so it's important to use the right hair care products following treatment, including a conditioner.
Semi-Permanent and Demi-Permanent Alternatives
Semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair color products both gradually fade over time. Demi-permanent color normally lasts through 12 to 26 shampoos and can be used to cover gray or alter the color. The gentlest option of all hair dyes, semi-permanent color does not contain peroxide and can only be used to darken or cover gray. Results from semi-permanent color typically fade completely within 6 to 12 shampoos.
Products for Touching Up Roots
If you use permanent hair color, products are available to help you treat just the roots of your hair as it grows. In between color treatments, you can use temporary powders and sprays to camouflage new growth. These products wash out with your next shampoo. For lasting results, you can use a touch-up kit that includes hair dye and a specially designed applicator comb that allows you to easily apply color only to the roots.
Hair Color Made for Men
Men who want to hide gray or enhance their hair color can find dye kits just for them. Many of these products work similarly to shampoo and are simply washed into the hair in the shower or tub. Some hair color kits for men include an applicator for coloring facial hair.
Tips for Best Results
In order to ensure that you're satisfied with the color, it's important to test any new product on a small strand prior to full application. Once you're certain that you love the new color, read the directions included with the product carefully and follow them closely to ensure the best results. Using a timer can help to ensure that you leave the color on for precisely the right amount of time. To maintain your gorgeous new color, choose shampoos and conditioners that are labeled as "safe for chemically treated hair" or "color safe."
