Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy!
Demi Permanent Hair Color or Semi permanent hair color… ladies, that is the question! This hair debate never seems to end; however, one thing is for sure. Regardless, of which method you choose, you most likely want to not only keep your strands healthy; but also maintain if not grow more hair in the process.
Can it be done? Of course it can! Remember healthy hair clings or holds onto any applied hair color the best. So then, if your hair is dry or brittle, the color will most likely fade faster than normal. Yikes!
Demi Permanent Hair Color – How to Really Keep Your Hair Healthy
In this article we’re getting into the nitty gritty of hair color. We will explore and dive into what can be done to keep your tresses in top notch shape, even while you change up your color like a kid in a candy store.
In order to keep strands extremely healthy while implementing dyes, you must develop an excellent haircare routine specifically for hair color; and never deviate. For instance, what products do you currently use for your color treated hair? If they are the same ones you were using before you began your hair color journey; those same products may not still be as effective.
That’s why it’s important to use products specifically formulated for color treated hair or focus on heavy deep conditioning treatments. This would include regular hair masks, applying high quality hair oil to lock in moisture and deep conditioning treatments that can sit on the hair for at least 30 minutes before being rinsed out.
Also, if strands seem weak; a break from coloring may be in order. We know playing with the rainbow can be fun; but breakage and losing all your hair is not. So if your hair is not at its strongest, take 2-4 weeks to get them stronger before applying more hair color. This step is also beneficial to do before coloring your hair in general at all.
During this time of much needed hair rest, really condition your strands. This little break will give your tresses time to heal, restructure and fix a lot of damage. As a result, once you do add your color of choice, your hair will be able to man up and handle it effortlessly.

Hair color can take a little more work and effort to maintain. However, the result is healthier tresses that continue to grow. Score.
Nevertheless, what types of hair color products should be utilized? Should you opt for Demi Permanent or perhaps Semi Permanent hair color items?
First of all, ask yourself, am I dealing with light graying; do I want to use no chemicals or perhaps do I need more coverage? If you wish to stay away from having a full head of permanent bleached strands then demi or semi permanent hair color is the way to go.
There’s not as much fuss with these types of dyes because unlike using permanent hair color… they’re not well, permanent. Every wash will cause the color to fade. Till eventually it’s completely gone.
Demi permanent lasts much longer than semi permanent hair color but it does has its drawbacks. You see Demi color can only darken hair and does contain small amounts of peroxide which helps the color to look richer. So then, if you wish to go lighter or want to stay chemical free you may not enjoy the Demi route.
Furthermore, for the above reasons, many opt to use semi permanent because it does not contain chemicals. You’re able to achieve coloring minus harmful elements.

Nonetheless, always remember that the most important part is protecting your hair with the right products before and after processing. If you treat your hair like a treasure, it will look like one. So then, have fun with your hair, it’s your crown and glory! Just keep it well polished with an awesome regimen and you will be good to go.

2017 Hair Color Trend: Pastel Pink Hair
When most girls decide to dye their strands normally they opt for a more “routine” hair color look. Maybe highlights, Beyonce platinum blonde or perhaps supermodel Jasmine Tookes ombré. However, nowadays it seems like it does not get any cooler or stylish than bold or multi-tone dyed hair. As a result, hair lovers begin to wonder what’s on deck next in the world of hair color. Therefore, what is trending for 2017? Three words y’all: Pink Pastel Hair from Adore Hair Color.
2017 Hair Color Trend: Pastel Pink Hair
Remember last year when gray hair hit the scene? That trend took off like wildfire and pretty soon we all looked like a super glam great grandma. The same momentum is occurring with “on Wednesdays we wear pink” tresses. Especially among celebrities.
Nicki Minaj debuted the pink pastel hair style with her now infamous down to there hair length. Stylist Tokyo Stylez also got down with pink gradient locks that starts at the roots. Moreover, Blac Chyna switched up the game by flipping script with pink pastel tips. Who’s look do you love the most out these chic triplets?
Quick Tips for Maintaining Pastel Pink Hair
It’s all fun and games until your awesome bubblegum tone hair looks a wee bit less popping. So then, how can you keep your pastel pink hair looking great longer? Here are a few pro tips!
- Prep Strands– A month before your dye job, take an honest look at your hair. Is it strong and healthy? If not, you could be in for a rude awakening. Hair dye unfortunately puts hair damage on blast. If your hair is dry or weak your resulting hair shade will emphasize it. Therefore, aim to start your hair color journey with a healthy head of hair. Perform deep conditioning treatments a few weeks before to make sure your hair color will look its absolute best.
- Go Pro– Money is tight these days, but don’t skimp on your hair. Box dyes will give you a look but only a professional colorist can give you the best quality pastel pink hair color. Also, in order to reach such a tone usually a pre-lightening step is involved. Do you know how to do that? If not, it’s highly recommended to just make a hair appointment.
- Space Out– Try your best to really space out your wash days. Shampoo strips hair color and makes it fade. So then, always be wary of products containing sulfates or alcohol- two enemies of hair color. It’s best to utilize color-safe and specially color formulated shampoos in order to maxamize the length of a hair dye job.

How Cold Water Helps Your Hair Color
If you want your hair color to look salon worthy as well as to last you will want to use as many tricks from your hair arsenal as possible. First, always start with a healthy head of strands. If your tresses are not in a good condition adding chemicals is only going to make matters worse.
The tip we will discuss in this post is going to apply when you have finished applying hair color and allowed it to process. While rinsing your strands it is better to rinse with cold water than a warmer temperature. This is because warm water opens the cuticle which in turn will allow your precious hair color to escape. Moreover, if your strands have been processed with more than one color or tint, rinsing with cooler water will also help to lower and reduce any bleeding.
How cold does the water need to be when performing the rinse? Of course, colder is better, but you do not want to freeze yourself. Go as cold as you can comfortably stand and you will be able to still reap the benefits.
Revisited: How to Remove Hair Dye Stains From Skin
We received a lot of response in regards to a previous post that delved into how to remove dye once it’s come into contact with skin. If you have ever experienced or encountered this situation you already know that it is not any fun. You can rinse yourself silly and the hair dye will remain right where it’s landed.
Last time, we had mentioned that using toothpaste can help to resolve this hair color issue. If you do decide to take the toothpaste route make sure that you are using a non-gel form. Nevertheless, we mentioned that this topic is being revisited, so what new light can be shed on this topic?
Recently, we did a little testing with the baking soda method. We had heard about it through a hair care professional but was still skeptical. Therefore, we decided to do a quick experiment to put our skepticism to rest once and for all.
During our experiment we focused on removing hair color stains that had attached themselves around the hairline as if you had forgot to apply Vaseline in order to stop the dye from running. We combined baking soda and dish detergent and stirred until the two ingredients formed a paste. The paste was then vigorously brushed onto the hair color skin stains using a toothbrush.
What was the results of the baking soda method? The hair color stains were removed proving that this hair fix truly is effective. The skin was left clean appearing as though no stain had been there before. Now we will say that we had to seriously put some elbow into it but the baking soda & dish detergent did their jobs.

Anyone who has ever tried to dye their hair at home knows how messy of a job it can truly be. The color can get all over and run down the face. Nevertheless, take the stress out of hair coloring by using toothpaste to help clean up behind a messy hair color session.
Use toothpaste to remove any hair color stains that have managed to collect around the neck, ears, temples, hairline and forehead. simply take a small amount of paste on your finger and buff it on the stain then rinse the area with lukewarm water. Continue repeating this process if necessary until the stain is gone.

Coloring Your Hair and “The Wait”
Hair Quickie: If you have just colored or dyed your hair try to wait at least 48 hours or more before washing your strands. This is because every time you wet the hair the cuticle opens and you want to give your hair time to seal in the color. Therefore, if you are planning activities where you know you will need to shampoo your hair it is best not to color your hair right before that time.
Spring 2015 Hair Color Trend: Ombre Gray
While some of us are making sacrifices at the hair color bar altar praying gray strands stay faraway from our heads. There are other women who are willingly going gray via dyed hair jobs. You may recall celebrities such as Rihanna getting in on the gray hair revolution. Nevertheless, now things are being stepped up a bit by adding in an ombre effect.
Ombre hair color is where the hair color starts off dark and gradually gets lighter as you move towards the tips or ends of strands. Besides RiRi, actress Dascha Polanco who plays on the hit show Orange is The New Black went gray ombre with purple tips. This hair tint can be extremely rough or harsh on your hair. Therefore, what can you do to protect your hair if you are thinking of going gray?
Going to such extreme colors means that you should take extreme measures to protect your hair. It is recommended that you pre-treat or prep your hair with oils and deep conditioners for about a week before the process. Dying your hair can be quite drying which is why some women end up with a “fried” hair look. Moreover, deep conditioning your locks will be be necessary since your tresses will need to be lifted to a platinum blonde shade in order for the true color to show up.
What if your natural hair color is very dark? For women with natural darker shade of hair keep in mind that going so light will not be a simple walk-in and walk out process. It should be noted that in order to safely dye your hair gray it usually takes two processes.
