Hair coloring is a decision that every woman comes to when she wants to change her image, add shine to her locks or cover up the gray. Let’s find out what you need to know about hair coloring.

The main types of hair coloring

Hair coloring refers to the application of a special composition to the hair, which changes the quality of the pigment. As a result of such an exposure, the natural pigment is replaced by artificial pigment or completely deprived of it.

Depending on what you want to get the result, there are different types of hair coloring:

Temporary. Gives any shade of hair, but lasts up to 1-2 washings. Such compositions do not penetrate deeply into the structure of the hair shaft.
Direct. When the dye is applied, the entire hair is colored, but it does not penetrate into the structure of the hair.
Semi-permanent. The composition colors the cuticle, and the middle layer of the hair shaft only partially.
Permanent. The dye penetrates into the cortical layer.
Coloration is partial (individual strands are colored) and full (the dye is applied to the entire hair).
