How Does Hair Color
Work
We live in the 21st
century where everything is possible. We can change hair color from grey
to black and even black to grey. Earlier the only colors available were
black and brown. Today one can choose from a variety of colors like red,
blue, purple or anything one wishes. Depending upon the quality and the
type of brand and also upon the maintenance, the duration of the color
can be guessed.
Dark To Light
Today coloring the hair
from light to dark is not a big task but to change the hair color from
dark to really light shade is definitely a big deal. The more the change
the greater will be the amount of chemical components and therefore
greater will be the amount of damage caused to the hair.
Temporary Hair Colour
People who color their
hair on temporary basis undergo less damage than those who do permanent
hair coloring. Even the changes and after effects in the fading stage
are pretty much less in temporary coloring than in permanent hair
coloring. Shampoos and colors which starts fading away after ten to
twelve wash come under semi permanent colors. These colorants do not
contain much chemicals. Only permanent and bleaches take more than
twelve shampoos. These colorants consist of at least one or two chemical
components which are required to penetrate pigment molecules in to the
hair shaft.
Uses Of Peroxide
Peroxide is a very
commonly used chemical component which is used in almost all permanent
and demi permanent hair colorants. It is also added in bleach. It opens
up the cuticle layer and help the color molecules to penetrate inside
and make the color last longer. The longer the color lasting stage then
greater will be the amount of peroxide contents. All permanent colors
must have peroxide in it. Otherwise the color will not last long.
Components of hair
color
Monoethalonamine used as
a substitute for ammonia is the second most commonly used chemical
component which is available in all the permanent hair colorants
including bleach. This removes the natural melanin from the hair. Some
remove less where as some remove all the melanin present in the hair.
Removing the melanin from the hair helps the color to last longer and
readily blend the hair with the new color. Hair will accept the new
color quickly when there less or no melanin content present in the
hair.
Advantages of
Temporary Hair Color
Therefore it is
advisable to go in for temporary hair colors than permanent, demi
permanent colors and bleach. The chemical components which are used for
permanent hair colors can cause severe damage to the hair than anything
else.
Beautifully Colored
Hair
Permanent colors come in
all possible colors, they may look very pretty initially but with
passage of time, your hair will see the changes and dryness caused by
the chemicals present in the permanent colorants. Hair gives beauty to a
face and to the overall personality of a human being. They should be
given proper care and also proper maintenance to have healthy long
lasting hair. Staying away from permanent colors can also help you to
keep your hair healthy.
