Temporary Hair Color
When I was in high school, I played in my school's volleyball and basketball. During my second year, one of my teammates has the brilliant idea of painting in the patterns of underlayers of our hair – nothing so obvious that we would be caught (there are strict rules against using makeup and hairstyles to distract players), but something subtle enough that it would take a few seconds for our opponents to find out what the hell was going on with our hair. A few seconds without supervision were all we need – so we thought – to get a ball securely over a network or through a hoop. When we tired of using our school colors (red, white and black), we treat our opponents' colors (purple and gold, green and black, burgundy and silver) or take a holiday theme (orange and black for Halloween green for St. Patrick's Day).
Color is used for these experiments was temporary – shades that stayed in our hair only until the next wash. We preferred the foam (also called mousse and spray-on formula), but the temporary color is also available as a mouthwash. Of course, not everyone wants to use my fantasy tones for friends and I, fortunately, temporary hair color comes in many natural colors. One more thing to consider is that the temporary color contain any ingredients to alter the hair structure and because of this, it can lighten the hair. Instead, use the temporary hair color slightly lighter or darker strands.
If you have damaged, chemically straightened or permed hair, temporary and semi-permanent colors are the safest options.
Semi-permanent color hair
Semi-permanent color is great for beginners hair color. Is removed in 6 to 12 shampoos, contains no potentially damaging peroxide or ammonia, and, once gone, leaves hair the same color it was before being colored. This means you can experiment with colors until you find one you want to use consistently. Because of their gentle nature, however, semi-permanent color can not change things very dramatically. It has a slightly translucent quality that makes it more appropriate to improve rather than altering your natural color. What color semi-permanent hair do is make fun of one or two levels darker, or maybe even a brighter tone. Gray hair, which is remarkably resistant to hair color, is rarely well camouflaged by semi-tones. Furthermore, the lack of those nuances "of chemicals means they have no power of illumination of any kind.
If you are a brunette who dreams of being blonde, semi-permanent color is not for you.
