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.

Not entirely sure... I don't color my hair, so I am hesitant to say yes. I would call a store like Ulta to ask the specialist there... Sorry I can't be of more help!

This is just for highlights but depending on your natural hair color you can blend the highlights with the gray. I use this as part of a double process. I use a PERMANENT (L'Oreal) color that best matches my natural hair and then use this over it to achieve the look of darker undertones and highlights. Always turns out great!

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.

Lately, my hair--especially the parts that have more gray--come out either orange or greenish, and I have to use Clairol's blue Shimmer Lights and even sponge my6 hair once it dries with grape Kool-ade to take out this obnoxious tinge. It never used to do that with Clairol Loving Care, and the first few times that I tried the CoSaMo, it was okay too!

Hello. I am Puerto Rican with coarse, naturally curly hair. I LOVE this. It doesn't leave my hair dry and brittle like box dyes. I stopped using relaxers, went all natural rocking my curls, so it was very important for me to hit the salon. Well this is formulated specifically for you, your hair type and you won't spend the big bucks you would at the salon. If it is a color that will stress your hair out too much, they will not even give it as an option. My curls have stayed the same and not stretched, worn out as with box dye. And yes the color you will not be disappointed with. I love it...

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.

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

I can't answer that, since I don't know if you've had a red color put on hair???? I liked this because my alternative was some type of ash toner, and I knew it would drab my hair color. So gave this a shot since I already had it from a year ago. Sheeesh, wish I had used it long ago. Now I had to order my next box, bc no longer on shelves. It's not STRONG, since I was ultra careful, damp hair and didn't leave on but about 5 or 6 minutes. You may leave in much longer.

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.

I used it and had color in my hair. I have now returned to my natural color. I ordered another batch and am now using it again. Unfortunately I have just learned my hair loss may be due to medication I'm taking. Nonetheless I don't see further loss so I'm taking my chances.

I have used this product for 20 years. For me it covers my gray and highlights the rest of my hair. I like it as it is a Demi permanent product. No awful smell or burning of the scalp. You pick your hair color and it will change your hair color. The clear gloss just accentuates your own hair.

Deva care (this one) is specially formulated to help your color last longer. If you don't color your hair you can use the green label which is diva curl.

I'd say yes only because otherwise you'll get a triple tone Highlight. If you're ok with that then go for it. I had medium brown but went to black base and blue highlights (via bleaching the highlighted portion). I also had to retouch the blonde portion every two weeks.

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!

I'm sure your hair will go back to its natural color. I use this about once a week and since I'm allergic to every other dye, rinse, etc on the market, this is the only hair color I can use. I love it. I am a natural brunette in the old days and this product is great. It adds a lot of highlights to my hair and turns a lot of my gray blond making me look a whole lot younger.
