    Default Demi Permanent Hair Color

    Ok so I made a post a while ago about how I was dying my blonde hair brown. I did it, and it looked good for the first 2 or 3 weeks, and then suddenly it started fading really fast and started to get a greenish/grayish tint. My stylist said that this might happen. I called her yesterday and asked her what I could do to get rid of the tint until I could make time to come in and have her redo it for me. She said that I could use a semipermanent color on it. So I went to Sally Beauty and bought what I thought was semipermanent (I accidentally grabbed demipermanent) dark brown dye similar to the color she originally dyed it. I did my hair, and I hate the results. It is way too dark (almost black) and has a reddish tint that I really don't like. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about demi permanent hair color, because that's what the color was that I bought (I thought I grabbed semi, not demi). Will the demi wash out or fade as quickly as the semi, because I really wanna get rid of this color. Does anyone know the difference between semi and demi? I know that semi fades/washes out quickly, but how quickly does the demi fade? Thanks!

    Umm, I should really know the answer to this... If I remember correctly, a semi fades more quickly than a demi... I'm 99% sure of this since we don't carry semi in the salon at all.

    If you want to speed up the fading factor, use a clarifying shampoo for a few washes (make sure you follow with a good hydrating condintioner). The good news is the red in your current tint neutralizes the green in your previous color and the boldness of the red should fade out quickly.

    ^^^ Thanks!! When I talked to my hairstylist to ask her what to do about the green, she told me to get a semi with gold or warm undertones to counteract the green. I just didn't think the red undertones would be so bold. I'm glad to know they'll fade quickly.
