Demi-permanent color is best described as which of the following?

• A. Deposits Color And Tones Without Lifting Natural Hair Color; Lasts 4-6 Weeks.
• B. Lifts Color And Deposits In One Process.
• C. Only Deposits Color And Lasts 1-2 Weeks.
• D. Permanent Color That Completely Changes Natural Pigment.

Answer: (A)

Demi-permanent color is designed to deposit pigment and add tone without lifting the natural hair color. It uses a low-volume developer, so the cuticle opens just enough for color molecules to enter but not enough to lighten the base. Because no lifting occurs, the natural pigment remains essentially unchanged, allowing you to blend or refresh shade rather than make a drastic change. It fades gradually over time—typically about 4–6 weeks—depending on washing frequency, porosity, and the product used. This makes it ideal for toning brassiness after lightening, refreshing color between appointments, or subtly blending gray roots without committing to permanent lift.
