The main difference between semi-permanent and permanent hair color is the lasting time period of them. Permanent hair color lasts for longer span of time whereas semi-permanent hair color works for just six to eight shampoo and their effect keeps withering away. Another major factor that differentiate them is that semi-permanent hair Tint does not include any ammonia, peroxide or other harmful chemical ingredients, unlike permanent hair dye.

Color Treatments

Let’s figure out which color to choose by stating some facts about them.

Semi-Permanent Color

Washes Out in 6-12 Shampoos

It is for the people who are looking for something that can subtly deepen their natural hair color and maybe add a tone of red tone on brown hair or sort. It just a shine and glow to your hair color and texture that it stands out in the interplay of light and shadows. However, semi-permanent hair Tint cannot lighten your hair color as it does not contain ammonia or chemicals that can change color, it can only deepen and darken your tone.

The color washes out in six to eight or twelve times of shampooing, depending on the formula that you have used. It is an advantage if you see it this way that you will not have to live with the same color for long.

Another huge element that is a benefit of semi-permanent color is that since it is temporary, you won’t have to deal with noticeable roots.

The Longest Lasting Option: Permanent Color

Choosing permanent hair color can be done for multiple reasons: first, that it can be used for covering up the grey hair. Secondly it can be used when you want a more dramatic change that is two or more shades darker or lighter than your natural hair color.

It’s a blend of ammonia and peroxide, that’s why it removes pigment of your hair and adds the color of your choice, permanently in your hair by settling in your hair roots. It won’t wash out, instead it grows out. Retouching is required after 6 to 8 weeks.

Differences Between The Two Tint Types

Following are the notable differences between the two major types of hair tints.

• In comparison to permanent hair color, semi permanent color is low maintenance and needs less long-term commitment as it washes off after a short span whereas the ammonia or peroxide in permanent hair dye leaves the color for long span. As the chemicals, interact with melanin and keratin of hair to deposit permanent color.
• Hair glazes and glosses are examples of semi-permanent hair tints and the major purpose of them is that they give boost to your nature hair tone and increase vibrancy, radiance and glow of the hair texture. Whereas permanent hair color comes in, when you require two shades darker or lighter color than your natural hair tone and it takes away the natural hair color and apply the wanted one instead.

• The main difference is how the hair color react to your hair. Semi-permanent Tint sits on the outside of hair shaft and works as a coating over your hair serving as a glossy, glowing look for your hair. It is deficiency in chemical treatments makes it unable to stay for long so it washes out in a short time. Whereas the permanent hair color enters the hair shaft and alter your hair, color from the roots and hence stays there for long. It does not just wash out.

• Semi-permanent color treatment includes one part of solution mixed with developer; so it cannot lighten your hair color, just deepen your hair tone. A permanent hair coloring is consisted of two parts, one is color and other is developer that is comparatively mixed to either lighten or darken your hair color. It is actually the hair developer that helps in lightening the tone, as it opens the hair shaft and allows color to seep in and get the work done to magically change your hair tone.
