Hair coloring products
Hair coloring products generally fall into four categories: temporary,
semipermanent, deposit only (demi permanent), and permanent. "Hair
lightening," referred to as "bleaching" or "decolorizing,"
is a chemical process involving the diffusion of the natural color pigment
or artificial color from the hair. This process is central to both permanent
hair colors and hair lighteners.
All "permanent" haircolor products and lighteners contain both
a developer, or oxidizing agent, and an alkalizing ingredient such as ammonia
or an ammonia substitute. The purpose of this is to:
- Raise the cuticle of the hair fibre so the tint can penetrate
- Facilitate the formation of tints within the hair fibre
- Bring about the lightening action of peroxide
When the tint containing the alkalizing ingredient is combined with the
developer (usually hydrogen peroxide), the peroxide becomes alkaline and
diffuses through the hair fibre, entering the cortex, where the melanin
is located. The lightening occurs when the alkaline peroxide breaks up the
melanin and replaces it with new color.
Temporary hair dyes
The pigment molecules in temporary hair color are large and, therefore,
do not penetrate the cuticle layer, allowing only a coating action that
may be removed by shampooing.
Acid dyes are used to coat the surface of hair, since acid dyes have a
low affinity to hair, thus can be removed after a shampoo. The penetration
and color strength of temporary hair color can usually be improved by applying
a bleaching prior to the application of the hair color.
Temporary hair color is available in various product forms including rinses,
shampoos, gels, sprays, and others. This type of hair color is typically
used to give brighter, more vibrant shades or colors such as orange or red,
that may be difficult to achieve with semi-permanent and permanent hair
color. This phenomenon is due to the fact that temporary hair colorants
do not penetrate the hair shaft itself. Instead, these dyes adhere to the
cuticleof the hair and can be easily removed with a single shampooing. However,
even temporary hair coloring agents can persist if the user's hair is excessively
dry or damaged, conditions that allow for migration of the dye from the
exterior to the interior of the follicle. While temporary hair color products
hold a lesser market than semi-permanent and permanent agents, they have
value in that they can be easily and quickly removed without bleaching or
application of a different dye.
Semipermanent hair dyes
Formulated to deposit color on the hair shaft without lightening it. This
formula has smaller molecules than those of temporary tinting formulas,
and is therefore able to penetrate the hair shaft. These colors may be used
with heat for penetration. It also lasts longer than temporary hair color,
keeping intact up to 8-14 shampoos. They are great for hair that is damaged
and fragile. Semi-permanent hair color has no Ammonia.
Demi Permanent hair dyes
Aveda has found a way with its Deposit-Only Color Treatment to use a permanent
hair color for deposit only. This is done by mixing permanent hair color
with low volume developer that deposits only into the hair shaft with no
lifting of the natural color. Deposit-Only Color Treatment is a gentle permanent
color used whenever you want to deposit color without lifting the natural
pigment but with the deep penetration results of permanent hair color. Since
it is gentle, it is perfect for tint-backs and colorpriming. It is also
great for toning pre-lightened hair.
Permanent hair dyes
Permanent Color is best choice for grey hair coverage. It has a oxidative
dye that also uses ammonia and peroxide to lift the natural pigment &
deposit the new color, going deep into the hair shaft. The use of ammonia
opens the cuticle of the hair to penetrate the color pigments deep in the
hair shaft.
Special effects
Special effects include highlighting and vivid, unusual hair colors such
as green or fuchsia. Highlighting can range from temporary to permanent,
using the techniques listed above and a special application process. One
can create looks that range from subtle highlights acquired during a day
at the beach, to more dramatic looks, such as bold, chunky highlights.
The more exotic, bright dyes typically contain only tint, and have no
developer. Colors cover the full spectrum of the rainbow. Individuals with
darker hair (medium brown to black) are advised to have the hair pre-bleached
prior to tint application for the full effect of the color. Some people
with fair hair may benefit from prior bleaching as well, as the yellow undertones
of blonde hair can make blue dye look green. These dyes are less permanent,
and tend to "bleed" onto other fabric even when dry. Users should
anticipate staining of light-colored pillows for a week or so after application.
