This type of hair dye deposits color onto the hair shaft without altering the natural pigment. It coats the cuticle with color molecules, resulting in a temporary change that gradually fades with each wash. A rich, deep brunette shade achieved through this method offers a low-commitment way to experiment with darker hues.
Offering a temporary color change, this approach provides flexibility and reduces long-term commitment. It can refresh faded color, blend gray hairs, or allow for experimentation with different shades without the permanence of traditional dyes. Historically, temporary color options have evolved from natural dyes like henna and indigo to the sophisticated formulations available today. This evolution reflects a growing consumer demand for versatile and less damaging color solutions.
