What You'll Need Before Starting
Before applying your hair colour, gather the following items:
-
Your chosen Adore shade
-
Disposable gloves
-
Hair clips
-
Applicator brush
-
Mixing bowl (optional)
-
Old towel
-
Wide-tooth comb
-
Petroleum jelly or barrier cream
Step 1: Wash and Prepare Your Hair
Start with clean hair. Wash your hair using a gentle shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup.
Important: Do not use conditioner immediately before colouring, as it can create a barrier that prevents the dye from absorbing evenly.
Pro Tip:
Allow your hair to dry completely before application for optimal colour absorption.
Step 2: Protect Your Skin and Clothing
Apply petroleum jelly around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent staining. Wear an old shirt and place a towel over your shoulders.
Put on disposable gloves before handling the hair colour.
Step 3: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into four equal sections using clips.
Sectioning helps ensure the Adore hair dye is distributed evenly from roots to ends.
Step 4: Apply Adore Semi Permanent Hair Dye
Shake the bottle well before use.
Apply the dye generously to each section, starting at the roots and working toward the ends. Use a brush or your gloved hands to distribute the colour evenly.
Make sure every strand is fully saturated for consistent results.
Step 5: Process the Colour
Leave the dye on your hair for 15–30 minutes, depending on the desired colour intensity.
For more vibrant shades, some users choose to leave the colour on slightly longer, following the product instructions.
Step 6: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse your hair with cool or lukewarm water until the water runs mostly clear.
Avoid shampooing immediately after rinsing to help preserve the colour.
Step 7: Dry and Style Your Hair
Gently towel-dry your hair and style as desired.
You'll notice vibrant colour, enhanced shine, and softer hair thanks to Adore's conditioning formula.
1. How long does semi-permanent hair dye last?
Semi-permanent hair dye typically lasts 4 to 8 washes, depending on your hair type, colour, and how often you shampoo. Using sulphate-free hair care products and washing with cooler water can help the colour stay vibrant for longer.
2. How do you remove semi-permanent hair dye from hair?
Semi-permanent hair dye gradually fades with regular washing. If you want to speed up the process, use a clarifying shampoo or a colour remover designed for semi-permanent hair colour. Follow the product instructions carefully and condition your hair afterwards to help maintain moisture.
3. Can semi-permanent hair dye damage hair?
Most semi-permanent hair dyes are free from harsh developers and are generally gentler than permanent hair colour. When used as directed, they usually do not damage the hair, although it's always a good idea to carry out a patch test and follow the application instructions.
4. Can you use semi-permanent hair dye on dark hair?
Yes, but the results depend on your natural hair colour. Vibrant shades show best on lighter or pre-lightened hair, while darker hair may produce a more subtle tint.
5. Can you apply semi-permanent hair dye to wet or dry hair?
Most semi-permanent hair dyes work best on clean, towel-dried or dry hair, but always follow the instructions provided with the specific product, as application methods can vary by brand.
6. Does semi-permanent hair dye cover grey hair?
Semi-permanent hair dye can help blend some grey hairs, but it may not provide full grey coverage like a permanent hair dye. The final result depends on the percentage of grey hair and the shade you choose.
