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 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.

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 am not a licensed beautician just a customer. I have made the switch to henna and my hair is doing better than ever. Henna is safe in the sense that it will not hurt you in any way. As far as getting the same results as Loreal that is different. The color may not be the same. Also, Henna is a rinse not a dye. For similar results to Loreal, such as evenness and how long the color lasts, switch to an organic dye. I switched to the organic dyes first. They can be just as drying as the chemicals. I then switched to henna because it leaves your hair soft. Unfortunately, you have to use it more often because it rinsed out. I am not a licensed beautician just a customer.

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

Hello, to be perfectly honest, I only used this product once because I didn't like the grayish tint it left on my hair. I think that it is safe to use everyday; I would be careful not to leave it on too long. I hope this helps!

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... 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.

Hi Bev, I'm not a hair specialist so can only answer from my experience. This product is very good on my hair, making it feel healthy and not dry etc. I color regularly, but not bleach or highlights, and I don't have breakage problems so I can't really say whether it would help with your situation. I can tell you, from long ago experience, if your hair is breaking now, the best you can do for yourself is to give it a break, and just nourish your hair with gentle shampoo, rich conditioner, and some masks, and don't bleach again until the breakage is under control. These would be good shampoo/conditioner for babying your hair for a time. Be advised, the shampoo is concentrated, so you only need a little bit. When I put the conditioner on, I leave it while I shower, then I add a Keratin cream rinse a couple times a week too. I think some Keratin treatment in addition to this product set can only help you, if you don't mind the suggestion from a lay-person. Good luck.

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!

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.

Elumen is supposed to be permanent but in my experience it's more like a demi-permanent. It has no peroxide or ammonia so it doesn't damage your hair like regular hair color.

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 have color treated hair and ever since I started using pureology found that my hair color does not fade and is healthy . Thanks to my hair dresser who recommended this product !

Yes it can, and it is helpful in giving a healthy shine to it. I have color treated hair and love the product. Unfortunately the company has stopped producing this product. The replacement product does not work as well and left my hair dull and heavy. I don't like it. I wish the company would start making this again. It is a much better product in my opinion.

No. In the instructions it says do not use if your hair has been color-treated. You'll damage your hair and end up with breakage.

All Pureology Products are geared toward color treated hair. The only pureology line you have to choose is based on the condition of your hair. if you need hydration use the hydrate line (very good , by the way) if you are experiencing breakage, try the essential repair line. hope this helps!

I agree with the others here. I had a lot of brassy/yellow tones from 25 yrs of highlighting and it is now a soft platinum blonde that is healthy and fabulous looking. I will never be without this product! I use it once every 3-4 shampoos and it keeps the highlights and gray hair in balance for me
