Semi permanent colour is a shine-boosting, low-commitment way to refresh your tone, soften the look of greys, and bring back that healthy-looking gloss. It gently deposits colour that fades gradually, making it ideal if you want a polished result without a strong regrowth line.

More information

What Semi Permanent Colour does for your hair

Semi permanent colour works by depositing tone and gloss through the mid-lengths and ends (and can be used to blend at the roots where needed). It is designed for a softer, more natural-looking fade.

  • Refreshes faded colour and dull ends with a cleaner, more even tone.
  • Adds visible shine and smoothness, especially on porous or weathered hair.
  • Softens the look of grey hair by blending rather than creating a solid, permanent block of colour.
  • Deepens or neutralises unwanted warmth (for example, brassy or yellow tones).
  • Creates a more seamless grow-out, with less obvious root contrast than permanent colour.
  • Leaves hair feeling conditioned, with a finished colour that looks deliberate and well cared for.

Who Semi Permanent Colour suits best (and when it is a smart choice)

Semi permanent colour is ideal if you want your colour to look freshly done but still natural.

  • You are seeing more greys and want them softened rather than fully covered.
  • Your existing colour has gone flat between appointments and needs a tonal top-up.
  • You want a richer brunette, deeper copper, or cooler blonde tone without long-term commitment.
  • You have highlights or balayage and want a gloss to refine the overall tone.
  • You prefer a lower-maintenance colour plan that fits neatly into a 3 to 4 week routine.

How your Semi Permanent Colour appointment is carried out

Your colour is planned to suit your hair condition, previous colour history, and the finish you want to see in the mirror.

  • Consultation on your current tone, greys, and how you prefer your colour to fade.
  • Shade selection to add warmth, coolness, depth, or neutralisation where needed.
  • Careful application for even saturation and a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Rinse and condition to leave the hair feeling soft and looking reflective.
  • Styling finish so you can see the tone clearly in natural movement and shine.

Keeping semi permanent colour glossy between visits

Semi permanent colour is designed to fade gradually, but the right routine helps it stay cleaner-looking for longer.

  • Use a colour-friendly shampoo and conditioner and avoid very hot water.
  • Keep heat tools on a moderate setting and use a heat protectant.
  • Book a regular gloss refresh to maintain tone and shine as your hair grows.
  • If you have greys, plan small, consistent top-ups rather than letting regrowth build up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between semi permanent and permanent hair colour?
Semi permanent colour deposits tone and fades gradually, so regrowth is softer. Permanent colour develops deeper and is used for longer-lasting change and stronger grey coverage.
How long does semi permanent colour last?
Most people see a noticeable result for several weeks, with a gradual fade rather than a hard line. Longevity depends on your hair condition, washing routine and heat styling.
Will semi permanent colour cover grey hair?
It can soften and blend greys very effectively, especially when you want a natural finish. If you want solid, full grey coverage, a permanent option is usually better.
Can semi permanent colour lighten my hair?
No. Semi permanent colour adds tone and depth but does not lift natural pigment, so it cannot make hair lighter.
How often should I book a semi permanent colour refresh?
Many clients top up every 3 to 6 weeks to keep the tone glossy and even. Your ideal timing depends on how quickly your colour fades and how noticeable your greys are.
