Is this a truly semi-permanent color? If so, how long did it last before showing transparency to your natural hair color?

I have a dark brown hair, and even though on the box it shows that it should have more of a red colour as a result, I would consistently get just a red tinge to the brown before the fade out. Its more noticeable in the sunlight. Like the other response, it would last about a month and a half to two months.

yes, it is semi-permanent. The roots grow out long before showing transparency to your natural hair color (in my case anyhow)

I only put a little bit on occassionally, so it lasts about two days. It really does take time for it to start working, if you put it on the day before you will probably see good color the next day. It fades evenly as long as you apply it evenly, not blotchy at all (be sure to rub in at edges around hairline and chin

Hi Tracy, it lasts only 2-3 weeks. It is a beautiful natural color, however the main reason I use this dye, is that I am allergic to ammonia and peroxide. Otherwise I would prefer a permanent hair dye as opposed to this semi permanentHope this helps,Antoinette

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.

I must have used it past the 18 months. It still works but my hair color has been gradually turning darker than the 7NW color it was.

It actually is permanent. It bleaches your hair much the way the natural sunshine does, just faster (and with a blew dryer if you like). It will be as drastic as you want it to be depending on how often you use it. If you like the way your hair looks with sun bleaching then you will like the way this looks :)

I have short hair with many gray strands and want a natural look. Where the time chart says leave it on 45 minutes, I leave it 35. It colors the gray but much lighter like my natural highlights. I use only 1/6th bottle per application and it lasts almost a year.

I have used this glaze for at least 12-18 months,and my hair never turned dry or brittle. It always comes out shiny and soft.I have never used any permanent color on my hair.There is no mention of protein on the bottle.

With proper treatment (color treatment shampoos and conditioners, sulfate free and UV protection products) it can last for over 5 weeks. It will gradually fade, but I don't recolor until my 5th or 6th week.

The box says it lasts through 28 shampoos. I have probably washed my hair about 12 times since applying it. A lot of my gray (I have gray around the ear area) is showing again but the rest of the color is still there pretty strong.

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 used eSalon's demi-permanent color for the first time 5 days ago, so I don't know yet. I expect to color again in 6 weeks. eSalon states that they expect for the color to last for 28 shampoos. I will repost after I find out. I use shampoo & condtioner for color treated hair, and I use cool water.

My natural color is a medium brown and it lightens my hair a bit with extended use. I've used same product for about 2 years. It will definitely turn any grey you have into a red/auburn color. The directions say to leave it on for an hour, but I leave it on for two (it wont damage your hair because there aren't any harsh chemicals.) Keep in mind that henna oxidizes and takes about 2 days for full color to actually take form. When I rinse it out, it always seems a little brassy to me, but after a day it softens and on the third day color is a very pretty reddish brown. So to answer your question, I would say that it would probably leave a reddish tone on your hair (maybe seen more in the sunlight) and with highlights red colors would become stronger after extended use........ The good news is that it is inexpensive so if it doesn't work, you didn't spend $150 at a salon. And if you don't like it, no worries because it fades after 3 weeks :)

I' m not sure you should ask a professional my hair doesn't color easily but this colored it in 45 minutes but it didn't last long it faded sooo fast in less than 2 months after 4 months it was orange I colored it with manic panic pillar box red applied it on my hair and left it in for 12 hours the red came back vibrant and gorgeous but the roots needed touching up my hair is soooo damaged from the lo real hi color hi lights it's been a year since the last time i dyed my hair red my hair is still weak and brittle with a whole lot of split ends I cut my hair twice the past year but the split ends keep coming back if you still want to give it a try don't forget to keep your hair conditioned and protect it from heating tools hope this helped :)

It's not permanent. I have an Asian friend that likes to put it in a couple parts of her hair for summer and her hair is really dark. It comes out on most I think. I have dirty blonde hair that's why I'm using my friend as an example. I use it to really bring out my highlights in the summer.

Very very permanent ... It MUST grow out before you try to put any lighter color on your hair. You absolutely should not try to bleach over this. If you want to have black hair forever use this... If you want a change in 6 months... Don't buy this... They have a semi perm option that is a gel.
