What’s the difference between permanent, semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair colour?
Permanent hair colour is designed for individuals who want long-lasting results. This hair colour lasts until the coloured hair strands grow out. Permanent hair colour can lighten hair up to 4 levels and lasts for around 6-8 weeks before it will need touch-ups due to fading. Bigen Permanent hair colour is a no ammonia, no peroxide hair colour product that will offer excellent grey coverage with long-lasting shine.
Semi-permanent hair colours do not last long and are not capable of lifting hair colours because of the absence of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. It can only make the hair lighter and not darker. These colours also condition and add shine to natural hair and fade out after 6-12 shampoos. Go for a semi-permanent pink hair dye of Crazy Colour brand if you want a pink shade for your hair.

Can I use a semi-permanent colour on grey hair?
Semi-permanent hair colour cannot be used to cover grey hair because it covers only 20% of grey or white hair. In the case of grey hair, your hair lacks melanin which is responsible for natural hair colour and also lacks natural oils which are generally present in natural hair. This makes it tough for semi-permanent colours to get deposited on grey root hair because this type only deposits on open hair cuticles.
How long should I wait for hair wash after a semi-permanent colour?
After semi-permanent colour treatment, you should wait for at least 72 hours to wash your hair. Doing this will allow the colour to stick to the outside of your hair like a protective film. Also, make sure you use a sulphate-free shampoo to wash your hair after getting this treatment.
