Hello, my hair colour do not last!


I have recently received a query on the fan page from Facebook about hair colour. It goes like this;
Hello, how much to color hair plus treatment?Is the color lomg lasting? I dyed my hair last time and it just last for 2-3 months only.

Here is my answer;

Hello, thank you for your query. Hair colour eventhough named as a permanent color would indeed last for about 2-3 months like you have mentioned. A temporary color would last for 1 - 8 shampoos. Have you noticed that in that 2-3 months, you would have seen at least 2 inch of new hair growth and that the color on your ends will fade with less colour intensity and shine. So even if there is a product called permanent colour which never fade, you will still expect to see long dark hair regrowth on your roots. All hair colors will fade and primarily due to natural oxidation. Natural environment such as sun, water and oxygen will cause color fadage. Put it in a way that even if your hair is 100% natural color, the colour at the ends will still be a lighter brown due to this natural oxydation process. Hair color are never meant to wear more than 4 months because of this situation, this also explained why you could see some ladies with long hair on the street wearing a faded 'orange' 'rusty' ends with dark roots. Treat hair coloring as your beauty accessory such as make-up, make-up transform a face but have to remove it at the end of the day. Isn't nice to have a 'permanent make-up?'. Jokes aside, when you see a 2-3 inch regrowth on the roots and faded orange ends means it is time to do either one of this actions. Action 1: Do a brand new color work Action 2: If you are tired of the color maintenance, tone down the ends to minimize the color level gap between the ends and the roots ala subtle 'ombre' effect with a semi-permanent colour.
Cost of hair colouring work is based on the type of work involve. It would be helpful if you could send me a pic of the colour work you desire.

Hope you get some learnings here on how often you should color your hair amd how to maintain it. Write to me if you have other questions about hair colour, I'll be glad to help😀
