If you’ve ever wanted to refresh your hair color, boost shine, or try something new without the pressure of permanent dye, demi-permanent hair color is made for you.
Demi-permanent color sits between temporary washes and permanent dye. It delivers noticeable tone, richness, and shine while fading gradually over time. No harsh grow-out. No long-term commitment. Just flexible color that works with your lifestyle.
That’s exactly where Splat ColorShine comes in.
What Is Demi-Permanent Hair Color?
Demi-permanent hair color is designed to enhance your existing hair color, not permanently alter it.
Unlike permanent hair dye, demi-permanent color:
-
Does not lift your natural hair color
-
Gently deposits pigment into the hair
-
Gradually fades with each wash
Most demi-permanent hair colors last up to 30 washes, depending on your hair type, porosity, and routine. Because the fade is gradual, there’s no harsh line or sudden shift as your color wears away.
This makes demi-permanent hair color ideal for:
-
Trying a new shade without long-term commitment
-
Refreshing faded or dull color
-
Adding shine and richness
-
Blending early grays
-
Enhancing your natural tone
Why Demi-Permanent Color Is So Popular Right Now
More people are choosing demi-permanent hair color because it offers flexibility and control.
You can change your shade more often, experiment with trends, or simply maintain a polished look between salon visits. Demi-permanent color lets you color your hair on your terms — without feeling locked into one result.
How Long Does Demi-Permanent Hair Color Last?
Demi-permanent hair color typically lasts up to 30 washes and fades evenly over time.
Fade speed can vary based on:
-
Hair porosity
-
How often you wash your hair
-
Shampoo type
-
Heat styling habits
Many people love demi-permanent color because it offers visible results with a softer fade, making it easy to switch shades or reapply when you’re ready.
Is Demi-Permanent Hair Color Damaging?
Demi-permanent hair color is considered gentler than permanent dye because it doesn’t require high lift or deep structural change.
ColorShine is designed to do more than deposit color. Its conditioning formula helps hair look and feel healthier while you color, making it a great option for first-time color users or anyone focused on shine and softness.
What Makes Splat ColorShine Different?
Not all demi-permanent hair colors are created equal.
While many formulas focus only on pigment, Splat ColorShine is designed to support how your hair looks and feels during and after coloring.
ColorShine features Hyaluronic Amino+ Bonded Technology, a conditioning system that helps maintain hydration, strength, and shine throughout the coloring process.
Key ingredients include:
-
Hyaluronic Acid to support scalp and strand hydration
-
Wheat Amino Acids to help strengthen hair and reduce the look of breakage
-
Quinoa Extract to help protect against damage and support smoother hair
-
Baobab Seed Oil to enhance shine and softness for a glossy finish
The result is rich hair that looks polished, feels soft, and shines.
Demi-Permanent Hair Color at Home vs. Salon Color
Salon demi-permanent color services are often used to refresh tone, enhance shine, or blend early grays. These services are typically paired with gloss treatments to create a smooth, polished finish.
Splat ColorShine is designed to deliver a similar shine-forward, tone-enhancing experience at home, without the time or cost of a salon visit.
ColorShine vs. salon demi-permanent color:
At the salon:
-
Professional application and gloss services
-
Higher cost per visit
-
Scheduled appointments and maintenance
-
Similar demi-permanent fade timeline
With ColorShine at home:
-
Easy at-home application in just 20 minutes
-
Shine-focused demi-permanent color
-
No appointments or ongoing salon commitment
-
Gradual fade with no harsh grow-out
ColorShine gives you control over when and how you refresh your color, making it ideal for maintaining shine, enhancing tone, or updating your look between salon visits — or skipping the salon altogether.
Demi-Permanent vs. Permanent Hair Color
Permanent hair color alters your natural pigment and requires regular maintenance as new growth appears.
Demi-permanent hair color enhances tone and richness while fading gradually over time. It’s a flexible option for anyone who wants noticeable color without the long-term commitment of permanent dye.
Who Is Demi-Permanent Hair Color Best For?
Demi-permanent hair color is a great choice if you are:
-
New to at-home hair color
-
Focused on shine and hair feel
-
Experimenting with new shades
-
Looking for low-commitment color
-
Refreshing or enhancing your natural tone
