It actually will be less harsh on you hair than the permanent color. If you stay within the same color realm that you were previously using, I think you will be fine. I have switched from permanent color to Loreal Healthy Look, without any problem. I have a more natural color after using Healthy Look, even though I do apply it usually every two months. Love it and I think you will too. I am a natural redhead, but at age 68 I had alot of ugly gray and yellowing. The medium golden blonde brings out the red and neutralizes the gray and I end up with a very nice natural light copper color. Good Luck!

I don't see why not. I am totally grey and the Healthy Look has great coverage and I never had any damage to my hair.

I think the permanent is meant to perform like NORMAL permanent hair colour, whilst the range with pinks and purples and so forth, whereas they are THE BEST of this kind, they do fade. However if you use the clear colour setting product OVER them, they last very well.I hope this is helpful.

You can use whatever you wish. Just keep in mind that the lower you go, the less color will show. Ex: if you use a 40 developer, your color will be vibrant and pop. If you use a 20 developer, your color will be lightly vibrant and suttle. Also, the longer you keep it on the hair, the more color you get. Ps: don't exceed over 1hr. I honestly wouldn't even go over that. Hope this helps

That's exactly why I use it - for my color treated hair. My hair dresser recommended about 4 years ago and I've been using ever since. I really like it although you won't get a lot of lather with it. But it will never change or fade the color of your hair - or at least that been my experience. And if you need a conditioner the Dermorganic Intensive Hair Repair Masque with Argan Oil for Unisex is the one I use. It's amazing - your hair will feel like silk. I have curly hair so it can be quite dry - these 2 products are a staple in my hair care.

Actually, I'm out of it now and am using the "enhancing" shampoo which is golden color, and which I don't like as much. The Sheer Blonde Color Renew conditioner I have is purple, so I'm pretty sure the shampoo is, too.

The good thing is that you only need to go to a golden/orange if you have dark hair, but if you have highlights of blonde with your dirty blonde hair you should be fine... make sure you let it soak in for about an hour..I heard that if you wash your hair with vinegar you can also keep the color in longer. But that's not practical. The color fades if you are in the sun too! If you use color protecting shampoo it should last longer, sulfate-free. If you want it to fade, then you can always buy some boxed color and dye it to a normal color. GL!

Product is awesome and NO, you would not need HOT SHOTS in addition. Only a few shampoos of this product should give you the desired effects of toning down brassiness in a big way. If you use this in conjunction with Hot Shots your hair might possibly go purple. If your hair is severely damaged and super orange from incorrect processing, then head to a hair salon for appropriate professional correction and do not try it yourself, you could compound the problem. My only issue was WHERE I purchased this product via Amazon, it took TWO MONTHS to get to me and they do NOTtell you up front before they take your money. Get from credible resource. I here ULTA carries all the products you mentioned. Good Luck!

I am sorry. I don't have color treated hair and I'm not a person in authority to say yes or no. I suggest you consult your hair dresser.

Since this is a direct deposit color you will want clean, dry hair so the color and penetrate and stain the cuticle to its maximum capacity. This products takes best to healthy hair so conditioner is key. The more damage your hair has, the more open the cuticle and that results in the color lasting less than a desirable time. In my experience the overall boldness fades a little but the base color of it is close to permanent.

I think the conditioner that comes with hair dye is specially formulated to prevent the color from washing out right away. So no, I would use it, then switch to the Wen when you can wash your hair again.

I dont see why not I always switch products as I have fine hair and the conditioner is too much for 7 days a week use on my hair!

I have used this product for about 8 month no issue with my colored hair. great product. I compared different products before I started using this one and found this to be my best option. Good luck.

Yes you would need to blech your hair again since this is permanent color. You can also try Satin color remover.

It covers my gray strands beautifully, they look like a lighter shade of auburn and come out looking like highlights. The very best part, other than making your hair feel healthy, it that it doesn't wash out like the peroxide colorings. Just remember to super condition your hair afterward. The color of your hair will also become more vibrant each day, for about a week after coloring your hair. It is work, but I will never go back to the chemical alternative...I also get compliments all the time

No - it is only intended as spot coverage - let's you get an extra week between touchups. It is not a substitute for hair dye.

I do not have any highlights, but my hair stylist suggested that I alternate between the two products for hair health. My hair is healthier than ever.
