3. Temporary colours.. Page 1. “Wash in wash out” Wash-in/Wash-out products are often used for temporary looks or for home "maintenance" on permanent or semi-permanent colour in the form of a shampoo or conditioner with colour added. They can also be part of a styling product like old fashioned setting lotion with a bluish tint. I have even come across mascara type wands with temporary colour's that you can streak through your hair. Many are vegetable-based. In-salon time 5min as they can be part of your shampoo or finishing product application but these are most common as home use products. “ The Positives ” Great to pick up or lift your normal colour. You can slightly vary your normal colour (depending on how dark you are) and get rid of the effect the next time you shampoo. They can keep more that more expensive colour looking good for just that little longer before you are able to visit the hairdresser again. They are very cheap. Can't damage your hair. “The Negatives” Not effective on dark hair Colour change is very subtle. If you are blonde they can build up and last longer than you want. If you have highly damaged blonde hair be very careful as they can grab to bits of your hair and not wash out! They won't cover grey hair but will disguise it. Most of the wash-in wash out products are in the form of shampoos and mousses and tone various colour's of hair. For example for grey hair there are silver/blue based ones, which will make the hair look whiter and less yellow. There are others that give the hair a slight champagne or beige hue. There are also several sprays and other fun products for parties that will temporarily change your hair colour. Temporary colour stay in until the next shampoo.

5. Semi-permanent colours.. The two names are often used to describe the same type of colour although a "demi" lasts longer than a "semi". They are designed to fade gradually. Depending on the exact manufacturers range, they last between 6 and 8 weeks, some will last even longer. They are applied to all of your hair and will change the reflect (copper, red, chocolate etc.) or darken it. In- salon application would take less than an hour then add you cut and blow-dry time. Conditioner based so will improve the condition of your hair. If you have never tried colour in your hair before these are a great introduction without the commitment of having to keep the colour up. These are the best types of colour to use in conjunction with a perm to maintain condition. The other advantage of a semi-permanent colour is that perms will fade your coloured hair and a semi-permanent colour can be done on the same day as your perm to refresh your look (you have to wait a week between a perm and a permanent colour). Semi/Demi-permanent colours are generally a cheaper service than a permanent colour. If you have a tendency to want to try new colours all the time this is a good way to go as long as you let each one fully fade away before doing the next. Can be used in conjunction with a permanent colour, by your hairdresser, to keep the ends of your hair healthy and looking freshly coloured. “Positive” “ The Negatives” Will not lighten your hair. Although on rare occasions, if you have naturally very fine hair some lightening may occur. Will only give partial coverage on grey hair, the amount of coverage varies with differing brands (30 to 70%). They gradually fade out over a period of weeks or washes so the colour changes quite a bit as it does this, and you may not like all of the stages of faded colour. If your hair is very fine or you repeat too often (before the last one fades out) you will get a re-growth. May require an allergy test if you are worried. Your own colour will effect the results possible.

7. Permanent colours.. Colour is applied directly onto your scalp to all of your hair. In salon time about 1 hour then add the cut or blow-dry time. The same colours can be used to create, or in combination with highlights or lowlights to give texture to your hair. How it is applied. The Positives Will give a strong, solid effect of colour in many different shades. Makes haircuts, like the bob, look very sleek and sharp. Makes fine hair look thicker when deeper shades are used. The resultant slight swelling of the hair when permanently coloured is great for making fine hair appear thicker. gentler on the condition. Covers grey hair. See our specialist grey hair sections. Can make your hair lighter than it is naturally with out using bleach therefore

8. Perms… This method takes only 15-30 minutes until the neutralizer is applied tobring down the pH and rebond the hair. In the 1970s, acid perms were invented. Perms are the simple chemical process of changing the natural shape of the hair follicle. Perms are back!!!. Perming or permanent waves is a great way to add body, curls, & bounces to your hair. Perms can increase the fullness of soft, fine hair, put a curl or wave into straight hair, or simply make your hair easier to style. This perming can be used for styling hair in the following ways

9. Alkaline perm. ALKALINE WAVE: It is the best choice for resistant hair, Asian hair, hair with low elasticity, and hard to perm fine hair as well as normal, healthy hair. An alkaline perm produces permanent hair waves (tight curls), it also has a pH from 7.5 to 9.5. Another name for a Alkaline perm is a cold waves. * Lotion S - For strong, natural resistant hair (usually fine in texture). * Lotion 1 – For normal hair. * Lotion 2 – For normal hair, easy to wave, or coloured hair in good condition. * Lotion 3 – For coloured hair and mildly pre-lightened hair. They usually contain ammonium thioglycolate.

10. An acid perm is a type of hair permanent that uses acid. Acid is a liquid that is quite corrosive, and has a pH that is lower than pH 7. Acid perms are the opposite of alkaline perms. Acid perms have a pH that ranges from 6.5 to 8.0. Permanents create a permanent curl or wave in the hair. If a permanent takes well, the hair will stay curly or wavy until it grows out. An acid perm creates a softer curl than an alkaline perm. If you are considering a permanent treatment for your hair, it is a good idea to talk to your hair care professional about which type of permanent, alkaline or acid, would work best with your hair. Make sure you ask about what could go wrong, and what damage the permanent could possibly do to your hair. With that information, you can make an informed decision about getting an acid perm or an alkaline perm. Acid perms.

11. Quasi. Good Points : Hair feels better after colouring, beautiful shade range, easy to apply, no commitment, smells good, great for men and women who don't have hair colour. Bad Points : Fades, sometimes deposits darker, can only deposit not lighten, the shades offered in koleston perfect are not offered in colour touch. Quasi –colours contains ethanolamine and 3% peroxide, which slightly open the cuticle.
