Some of the different types of hair dyes are:-

Temporary hair dyes
Semi-permanent hair dyes
Log lasting semi-permanent hair dyes, and
Permanent hair dyes

Temporary hair dyes: - these dyes are applied in the form of gels, mousses, rinses and sprays. They are permanent in the sense that they just cover the surface of the hair and come out easily after shampooing.

Semi-permanent hair dyes: - these dyes penetrate in the hair shaft but not completely as the permanent hair dyes do. These dyes are semi permanent as they stay longer than the temporary dyes and come off after 5 to 10 washes.

Long lasting semi-permanent hair dyes: - these are new in the market of dyes. They are long lasting and stay on the hair for about 24 washes. They are better than the semi-permanent as they provide more accurate coloring and remain on the hair for long, which is better for the gray hair. One who has a lot of gray hair should opt for these dyes.

Permanent hair dyes: – permanent hair dyes penetrate in the hair shaft deeply and are not washed off. A permanent hair dye consists of two components which are mixed just before applying. They are hydrogen peroxide and the other is ammonia solution of a dye known as couplers. Permanent hair dyes are the best if one is trying to cover the hair and wants a permanent solution.

It’s good to go for hair dyes to cover ones age and to try different look, but its recommended not to use them regularly. This is because; some of the substances in the dye are absorbed by the skin and the scalp on application.

Researches have found out that people who use dyes regularly are more prone to hematopoietic cancers. They also lead to several types of skin cancer and blood cancer in both men and women. They also lead to ovarian cancer in women. All these risks are associated to long term use of dyes, especially the use of dark hair dyes.

For the first timers: - choose a color that matches your natural hair color and go for a temporary hair dye. If you are coloring hairs at home then first read the instructions properly and perform a patch test prior to application. Best way to avoid the risk of deadly disease is to make sure that the dye never touches the scalp.
