When we say permanent, we don’t really mean that they will last your lifetime! It just means that by using a permanent hair dye, your hair will remain colored for more than 6 months. As the hair grows, it will also grow out of its dye color. For a permanent hair dye you will have to visit the salon to get that professional touch. Permanent hair colors usually have a lot of chemicals that can even harm the skin on your scalp. If you have sensitive skin and hair, then you will be all the more prone to hair damage. The advantage of using permanent hair color is that they are long lasting but at the cost of your scalp health! Be ready for itching, burning and myriad other side effects that come with these permanent hair dyes.

The longevity of the color also depends on how frequently you wash your hair. The semi permanent hair dyes mostly use natural products to impart color to the hair.
