Semi permanent colour better for hair than permanent?

Mrs_Hedgehog

hi

I'm taking the plunge and dying my hair ... am 37, and the greys are starting to come through

Is a semi permanent less harsh than a permanent colour? I know I did a nice and easy a few years back and it knackered the condition completely, so I don't want to go through that again!

I've got a Casting one ready to go, please let me know?

thanks

Hi , my MIL has very fine hair, she does not do permanent.. ( she has a lot of grey) cos she is scared of the roots showing plus the condition of her hair... she only do semi permanent ( no amonia) and the shampoos with colors in between, she gets them for 0.99 in Superdrugs or Boots, her hair is in a nice condition. i hope this helps.

My colourist only uses semi permanents. They seem pretty permanent to me but they fade gently making the regrowth less obvious. I have grey to cover too!

i only use semi and castings is a nice one. used boots botanics on saturday and was really pleased with the result.
i usually go to a salon-saved a fortune doing it myself.

thank you ....

well I've taken the plunge tonight and am really pleased with the result - it's only a bit darker than my own brown, but lovely tones, so am looking forward to seeing it in daylight tomorrow.

glad it's the "kinder" way of getting rid of those greys!

I was use Herbal permanent, but now I tried Excell10, very similar formula,(glicyne), £ 3.99 in Savers, last one month. I tried semi permanent but fade after two washes.
