Use colour safe shampoo, lukewarm water and heat protection to help it last - Many clients refresh tone every **4 to 8 weeks** or add a gloss at the basin for extra shine **Good to know** A **patch test** is required **48 hours** before your first semi or if it has been over six months. Semi Permanent Colour cannot lift or lighten. For brighter or lighter results, ask about highlights or a lightening service. **Ready to glow?** Book **Semi Permanent Colour** in Brighton or schedule a consultation to find your perfect tone.

Can Semi Permanent Colour cover greys? It can soften and blend some greys. For full coverage, a permanent tint is best. Will it lighten my hair? No. Semi is deposit only and cannot lift. Choose highlights or lightening if you want to go brighter. Is it gentle on damaged hair or sensitive scalps? Yes. Many formulas are ammonia free and do not require developer, making them a softer option. How often should I top it up? Most clients refresh every 4 to 8 weeks, or sooner for vivid fashion colours.
