Comprehensive Guide to Demi-Permanent Hair Coloring with HueSee

Demi-permanent hair coloring is an excellent option for clients seeking a temporary and less committed color change. HueSee products, developed through Canadian and Italian expertise, are formulated to offer vibrant colors that gradually fade without leaving a harsh line of demarcation. Additionally, our 2-in-1 tubes allow for both permanent and demi-permanent coloring simply by adjusting the ratio and developer, optimizing your inventory. In this guide, we will show you how to use our demi-permanent colors to achieve professional results every time.

What is Demi-Permanent Hair Coloring?

Demi-permanent hair coloring is designed to deposit pigments on the outer layer of the hair without altering its internal structure. Unlike permanent color, it doesn’t penetrate deeply into the hair fiber and fades gradually after several shampoos. HueSee products offer rich colors that last between 4 to 6 weeks, perfect for clients wanting to experiment with new shades without long-term commitment.

Benefits of HueSee Demi-Permanent Hair Coloring:

• Flexibility and Customization: Allows clients to try different shades without long-term commitment. Perfect for those who like to change their look regularly.
• Improved Hair Health: Ammonia-free formulation enriched with nourishing ingredients, minimizing damage and strengthening hair structure.
• Easy Application and Even Results: Creamy texture ensures drip-free application and even results throughout the hair.
• Natural Fading: Fades gradually without leaving visible lines of demarcation, allowing for a smooth transition between colors.
• Ideal for Light Gray Hair Coverage: Provides subtle coverage of gray hair, ideal for clients who do not want full coverage.

When to Use Demi-Permanent Hair Coloring?

Demi-permanent hair coloring is ideal in the following situations:

• First-Time Coloring Experience: For clients wanting to try a new color without permanent commitment.
• Color Enhancement: To intensify the natural hair color or refresh an existing color.
• Less Damage: For clients concerned about maintaining healthy hair, as it does not contain ammonia.
• Light Gray Hair Coverage: To subtly mask gray hair without full coverage.

Preparation Before Coloring

Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary tools:

• Gloves
• Coloring brushes and bowls
• Scale
• Clips (for sectioning)
• Fine-tooth comb
• HueSee Developer (use a 10-volume developer for optimal results)
• HueSee Coloring Cream

Apply HueSee color on dry hair for optimal results. For very damaged or porous hair, it is recommended to do a moisturizing treatment before coloring to ensure even absorption. Discover our guide on the best pre-color moisturizing treatments.

Applying Demi-Permanent Hair Color

1. Mixing Color and Developer

• Demi-Permanent Color: Mix HueSee coloring cream with the developer in a 1:2 ratio. Use a scale to measure exact quantities.
• Choosing the Developer: The choice of developer is crucial for achieving the best results with demi-permanent color. Developers are available in different strengths, usually from 10 to 40 volumes, and their use depends on the desired coloring type and the condition of the client’s hair. For more information on the different types of developers and their use, check out our detailed article on the different types of developers and their use.
• Creating Custom Colors: To offer unique colors tailored to each client, it is possible to mix different shades from the HueSee range. This allows for customized nuances and meets the specific expectations of each client. For ideas and mixing techniques, refer to our guide on creating custom colors.

2. Application Techniques

• Divide the hair into sections for uniform application.
• Start at the roots, then apply the color to the tips. Ensure each strand is well saturated for an even result.
• Use a brush for precise and uniform application.

Processing Time and Rinsing

Processing time generally ranges from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the desired color intensity and hair type. During this time, regularly check the color development. Once the processing time is over, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner for colored hair to maintain the color’s shine.

Color Maintenance

To prolong the color’s longevity, use products specific for colored hair:

• Shampoo and Conditioner for Colored Hair: Use specially formulated products to protect and prolong color vibrancy.
• Hydrating Masks: Regularly apply nourishing masks to deeply hydrate and prevent dryness and damage caused by coloring.
• UV and Thermal Protectors: Apply hair products offering UV and thermal protection to minimize damage and maintain color shine and vitality.
• Dry Shampoo: Use dry shampoo between washes to keep hair fresh and avoid washing out the color too often.
