Hair Colourists
A hair colourist, often just called a colourist, is a specialist in hair colouring. There are many reasons people choose to colour their hair, and a lot of people visit hair salons for this reason. You might choose to undertake hair colouring to restore the colour of gray hair, change to a colour that is more aesthetically pleasing or simply for your own personal pleasure.
Most hairdressers at hair salons are also hair colourists, and they will be able to perform various colouring procedures along with cuts and styles. Colouring hair can be a complex procedure, and using the services of a professional greatly increases your chances of finding a hair colour that suits you and looks great.
Some hair colouring is only temporary whereas other colours can be semi permanent or permanent. Obviously, when hair re-grows, it will return to its natural colour. Temporary hair colours are normally applied as shampoos, rinses, gels, sprays, foams and numerous other methods. Often, temporary colour is applied to suit a certain situation, or even as fancy dress.
Semi permanent hair colour is typically applied as a rinse or cream, and it is known to last around four to five washes. However, this can depend on the brand of the product and the original hair colour. Typically, semi permanent colour cannot lighten the hair - permanent hair colouring with stronger chemicals is necessary.
Permanent colours often use oxidising agents, developers and alkalising agents to penetrate the hair fibre and implant the new colour. A skilled colourist can apply almost any colour you desire, and they also have the knowledge to compensate for your original hair colour.
