Semi/Demi-Permanent vs. Permanent Hair Color: Which is Best for Toning Highlights?

As a hair stylist, I often recommend semi-permanent or demi-permanent hair color for clients who want to tone their highlights. The reason for this is that these types of hair color can provide a subtle toning effect without significantly altering the base color of the hair.

When you get highlights, the hair is usually lightened to create the desired effect, which can leave it with brassy or yellow tones. To counteract these tones, a toner is used to deposit color that will cancel them out.

Semi-permanent and demi-permanent toners are a great option because they are gentle on the hair and do not contain harsh chemicals like ammonia or high levels of peroxide. This means that they deposit color onto the hair shaft and provide a subtle toning effect without lifting the natural pigment of the hair. As a result, they won't shift your base color when toning your highlights, which is great for clients who want a subtle toning effect without making a drastic change to their hair.
