The document discusses the effects of different hair coloring products:
- Temporary color coats the hair cuticle and lasts 1-2 washes. Semi-permanent color deposits into the cuticle and outer cortex, lasting 6-8 washes.
- Quasi-permanent color uses a mild oxidant to deposit color molecules into the cortex that fade over 12 weeks.
- Permanent color uses hydrogen peroxide to oxidize small color molecules, swelling them into large trapped molecules that color the cortex.
- Bleach penetrates the cortex and oxidizes natural pigments like melanin and pheomelanin to become colorless.

1. The effects of different colouring
products on the hair
You will be looking at the effects of the following
colouring products on the hair:
Temporary colour
Semi-permanent colour
Quasi-permanent colour
Permanent colour
Bleach.
2. The effects of temporary colour
Large colour
molecules coat the
hair cuticle.
There is no
penetration of the hair
cortex.
The colour will last for
only 1 or 2 washes.
3. The effects of semi-permanent colour
Small colour
molecules are
deposited into the hair
cuticle and the outer
edge of the hair
cortex.
The colour will last for
between 6 to 8
washes.
If the hair is unevenly
porous, the result may
be patchy.
4. The effects of quasi-permanent
colour
The quasi-permanent colour is
mixed with a low-volume
oxidant (1:2 ratio).
Different sized colour
molecules enter the cortex and
are oxidized by the oxidant.
Because the oxidant is
mild, the colour molecules do
not become very large and are
gradually lost each time the
hair is shampooed.
The colour is designed to fade
over a period of 12 weeks.
