Understanding the Different Types of Hair Dye
When it comes to colouring our hair, there are so many factors that we must consider. What hair colour is best suited to me & what is going to give me the best result?
After 25 years as a hairdresser, I can say that certain hairstyles can only be done by professionals in a salon. But there are also many options to use safely at home with confidence. I am going to take you through the different types of colours we have available for home use.
Here @Hairbyu, we stock a wide range of professional colour ranges starting from Temporary, Semi-Permanent, Permanent, Bleaching Powders and Colourer Removers. All are safe to use at home. Some of our top hair colour brands are Manic Panic Semi-Permanent Colour, Adore, Punky, Crazy Color, Hi Lift True Colour, Kadus and many more.
You may ask, “What is the difference between a semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair colour’? We’ll let me explain the different Hair Dyes we have available:
People commonly use temporary hair dyes for school holiday fun and dress-up parties. These colour ranges and products do not permanently alter the natural colour of your hair. They are best used for adding a burst of colour or to enhance your hair's existing shade temporarily.
Temporary hair dye usually lasts for a short time, from one shampoo to a few weeks. The duration depends on the product, your hair's condition, and how porous it is.
At @Hairbyu we stock a range of temporary hair colour, shampoos and conditioners from brands such as
- DeLorenzo Nova Fusion Range
- Nak Haircare Colour Masques
- Davroe Chroma Colour Treatments
- Juuce Colour Treatments
- Punky 3-in1 Depositing Shampoo & Conditioners
- Pure Colour Optimising Treatments.
These ranges contain colour pigments that can help to maintain or enhance your hair colour. They are perfect to use between salon visits to extend the life of your colour.
We suggest using our Hi Lift Zero Grey Root Concealers. They are temporary, ammonia-free, and quickly cover grey roots and regrowth. They blend perfectly to match your hair colour for a totally natural look.
These are ideal for when you are unable to go to the salon or have limited time before important events. They are a convenient alternative to visiting your hairdresser.
Semi-permanent hair dye is a type of hair dye designed to gradually fade over time by sitting on the outer layer of your hair. Washing out gradually with each wash.
If you're new to trying out different colours, semi-permanent dye is a good choice. It fades gradually with each wash and doesn't cause noticeable regrowth.
They are great for enhancing or refreshing your natural hair colour and blending in any grey hair or highlights. Semi-colours are very conditioning and add shine. Making your hair look healthy.
@Hairbyu, we have many Semi-Permanent Hair Colours, such as Adore. They don't have ammonia, peroxide, or alcohol and come in a convenient squeeze bottle for easy application.
We also offer high fashion colour ranges like Crazy Color, Manic Panic Hair Dye and Punky, which are all vegan formulas and cruelty-free. These high fashion colour ranges are perfect on light to bleach blonde hair for guilt-free colouring. Celebrities like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Rihanna have all rocked a trendy look using the Manic Panic hair colour Range.

Demi-permanent hair dye offers a compromise between permanent and semi-permanent hair colours.
It typically lasts longer than a semi-permanent colour but is still very conditioning on the hair. The True Shades Demi-Permanent colour we offer @Hairbyu is ammonia and PPD free and is vegan-friendly.
We also offer the professional and well-known brand Kadus Professional which is also ammonia-free.
Demi’s are ideal for blending grey hair, removing unwanted brassy tones, and refreshing dull, dry hair by adding richness and shine. Demi-permanents will still gradually fade over time, making them a no-commitment colour. They won't lighten hair but are great for root stretches, balayage looks, or refreshing your overall natural color.
U will always need to mix demi-permanents with a peroxide recommended by the colour brand U are using.
Like the name suggests, permanent hair dye will provide long-lasting colour results. It usually has ammonia and hydrogen peroxide to open the hair, so the dye can change the natural hair colour.
People commonly use permanent hair colour to cover grey hair and significantly change their look. Keeping in mind it requires regular maintenance every 4 to 8 weeks for touch ups.
@Hairbyu, we have many permanent hair colours such as Hi Lift True Shades, Hi Lift Eco Colour, and Kadus Professional.
Both our Hi Lift Colour Ranges are a hybrid system which means they are versatile for permanent, semi/demi permanent colouring and toning needs.
Our True Eco range is for those who prefer natural ingredients, with no ammonia and no PPD. Making it ideal for people that are more sensitive and are more prone to allergic reactions.
You should always mix permanent hair colour with its matching peroxide and follow all manufacturer's instructions. We also recommend using gloves and professional tools like a tint brush and bowel to allow for easy application.
Permanent hair colour is ideal for home use for touch ups between salon visits. We also offer wholesale prices to trade as our ranges are ideal in a professional salon environment.
@Hairbyu we are always here to help and that is why with most of our professional colour ranges we have attached instructions and manuals to help U colour like a professional at home. We recommend that all instructions and mixing ratios are followed and a skin patch test at least 48 hrs prior to colouring is done.
To also make things easier for U to colour at home we have all the latest colouring tools and accessories available to purchase with your colour. This will make mixing and applying your desired colour easy and mess free.

Professional haircare products are also a must when colouring your locks. We recommend a professional shampoo, conditioner, and mask to use weekly to maintain your colour as well as keeping your locks looking healthy.
