Do vegetable dyes fade out after a few washes?
I have just had a medium brown vegetable dye on my hair to give me an even colour all over after having old highlights. My hairdresser also put in a few high lift tints over the top to give it a more sunkissed look. I have noticed the vege colour has started to fade a bit. Do you think the sun will also lighten it up? I don't mind actually if it does, as personally I think the vege dye was a bit too dark to start with.. anyone had any experience with this?
Semi permanent - lasts for between 5 and 15 washes. Usually made from vegetable dyes these colours are mainly designed to adhere tightly to the cuticle surface, and to a lesser extent penetrate beneath the hair cuticle. Although no peroxide is present and therefore no chemical reactions take place within the hair, pigments can be become trapped beneath the surface resulting in longer lasting colour. These gradually wash out, but are able to provide brighter, more vibrant colours than are possible with permanent dyes. The effect of semi permanent dyes can be greatly enhanced by pre bleaching which opens the cuticles allowing greater penetration, and providing a blank canvas. Often after only a few washes semi permanent dyes can fades, the surface pigments greatly reduced. By reapplying at this point before the colour is completely diminished the surface pigments can build up, intensifying the colour and greatly increasing its longevity.
