Colouring your hair

Many people want to change their hair colour. It's estimated that about 50% of all women colour their hair, and an increasing number of men do too. Anyone would be confused by the variety of products, from many different manufacturers, that fill the hair-colouring section of the average drug store

Today's consumers are not dependent on professional care exclusively to colour their hair. Hair - dye manufacturers in recent years have increased the ease, simplicity, and convenience of application. Many kinds of colour change can be achieved successfully with home-use products; others, specially drastic colour changes, are still best left to the professional hair dresses.

If you understand the different types of hair-colouring products work you can begin to sort out the packages on the shelf. There are basically six types: 1) Temporary colours, 2) Semi-permanent colours, 3) Permanent oxidation dyes, 4) Lead acetate dyes, 5) Vegetable dyes and 6) Bleaches. Bleaching may be done as a preliminary step to semi-permanent or oxidation dying or alone. There are also specialised bleaching techniques such as frosting and streaking.
