Permanent Color
This chemical procedure enables the user to achieve subtle to drastic color changes. For dramatic color changes (black to blonde), you must undergo a double process blonding which should be done professionally. With this level of coloring, ammonia and peroxide are used. These colors cannot be washed out of your hair.

Because natural hair pigments vary by individual, your final color may appear different on you than on someone else using the same color. This is why it is important to do a strand test to calculate processing time. Every 4-6 weeks a touch-up is needed for your newgrowth.  Use navigation bar on left to find out more about PERMANENT color.

It also blends and covers gray.
