Before we dive into the solutions for making your hair color last longer, let's take a quick look at the nature of semi-permanent hair colors. Semi-permanent is not a great option for covering grays, but it's best for people looking to play with colors by adding streaks, highlights, and lowlights and creating balayage or ombre hair. Unlike permanent hair colors, semi-permanent hair colors do not penetrate the hair shaft. Instead, the color pigment settles on the surface, giving your hair rich, fresh, vibrant hues. As the hair coloring pigments settle on the surface of the strands, it gradually starts fading over some time. Hair colors are affected by various factors:

  • Frequency Of Your Hair Washing Session: The more frequently you wash your hair, the more quickly your color fades.
  • Hair Care Products You Use: Shampoos containing sulfates can strip the color from your hair, making your hair color look dull and faded. Use color-protect shampoo and conditioner.

  • Lifestyle: Your daily activities such as exposure to harmful UV rays and chlorine water in swimming pools fade your hair color.
  • Darker Hair Color: Bright hair colors tend to fade away quickly compared to darker hair color, which stays on your hair longer.
  • Excessive Use Of Styling Tools: Using styling tools without applying heat protectant can be responsible for your hair color fading quickly.

Ways To Prevent Color Bleeding 

Getting a highlight, lowlight or balayage on your hair, or getting a global hair color done to change your natural hair color, may be exciting. But it is a task to maintain the freshness and vitality of the hair color for maintaining your hair color for a longer time. Check out some pro tips to prevent the color from bleeding.

The hair coloring product you choose, the duration you leave the hair color on your hair, and how you rinse the hair after coloring determines the longevity of your hair color. If you want your hair color to last longer, invest in a quality hair coloring product such as Anveya's Colorisma Smart Semi-Permanent Hair Color, which repairs the damaged strands while coloring it.
