Who’s the winner? Or is there a winner?
Believe us, when it comes to coloring your hair, picking the right type of hair color is the biggest challenge you’ll face. Be it temporary hair colors, permanent hair colors, or semi-permanent hair colors, anybody who has colored their hair before and suffered the hair god’s wrath pretty seriously, knows that hair color choices are not to be taken lightly. Be it hair colors for men or hair colors for women, making the right choice gets a little tricky.
The world of hair colors caters to your varying interests and desires. Be it commitment-free experiments of temporary hair colors with a fun purple hair color, bold red hair color, heavenly blue hair color, classy blonde hair color or long-term hair coloring sticking to safe browns (brown hair color, light brown hair color, dark brown hair color or maybe a commonly seen burgundy hair color.), there’s something for hair everyone! One thing to always keep in your mind is that the hair color type you go for should be aligned with your hair goals. What’re you expecting from your best hair color is the real question.
There’s no winner here.
With the different range of hair color types – Permanent hair color, Semi-permanent hair color, Demi-permanent hair color, temporary hair color, (among the categories of hair colors for men and hair colors for women) we understand that for someone new, it’s a bit confusing to say which one’s which. People often confuse semi-permanent and temporary hair colors probably because both are free from ammonia and long-term commitment. However, there’re some major differences between the two! So, hair we are to set the record straight and explore the differences between temporary hair colors and semi-permanent hair colors, once and for all.

Does it alter the original hair color?
Yes, Semi-permanent hair colors alter the original color of your hair. The hair color molecules are tiny enough to penetrate the roots of the hair and alter the natural color.
On the other hand, temporary hair color doesn’t alter your actual hair color, nor does it lighten or darken previously colored hair. Instant hair color settles down only on the outermost layer of your hair. The bigger size of the pigments of this hair color makes it difficult to penetrate into the hair shaft at all.
How long does the color last?
While instant hair colors last a day or two, depending on when you shampoo your hair after applying the color, semi-permanent hair colors work a little differently. They tend to last for about 3 weeks, i.e., about 12 shampoo sessions to fade entirely.
If the freedom of getting to choose between global hair color, highlights, balayage, and more extremely distinct styles from your natural hair color, every day of life thrills you, instant hair colors are for you! You’d want to consider the latter if what you’re looking for is fun that lasts a little longer than just one night.
What about damage?
Instant hair color doesn’t cause any damage to your beautifully delicate locks. They cover the outer layer of your hair and wave goodbye the moment you wash it off with shampoo. However, semi-permanent hair color penetrates into the roots and lasts longer. If you continue to subject your hair to the color frequently, it does cause damage over time.

Does it cover grey hair?
Semi-permanent hair color will not cover your grey hair. If that is your intent, we’d suggest you go for instant hair color, because they brilliantly do. The former changes the tone of your hair for a little longer than a day, leaving greys to remain as usual. But temporary hair color covers grey each time you apply them to your tresses.

Ideally, semi-permanent hair colors should be used to refresh previously colored and faded hair. They’re also useful to bring back life into hair colors which go off tone after a point. They’re also available in the hair color market in a clear shade, which incredibly adds a shine to restore dull and lifeless hair. Instant hair colors are for the ever-young color maniac in you, who runs off to parties and night-outs impulsively.
