Professional Color CODE

Highlights and lowlights create contrast to your overall color. Highlights bleach selected strands two or more shades lighter. Lowlights are slightly darker shades. It’s permanent, so roots will appear, but the contrast in colors will likely make roots less obvious.

Permanent color is just that: permanent. You’ll get rich color that stays true the longest. It won’t wash out and roots will appear in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Semi-permanent washes out in 6-12 shampoos. Ideal for those who like to try new shades often, it can lighten hair by 1 level or slightly deepen your natural color.

Temporary color washes out after 1 shampoo, so it’s a great option for special events or a big night out. Since it only coats the outside of the hair cuticle, It can’t give hair a lighter color.
