However, like all hair dyes, fading can occur over time. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
* Permanent but does not use chemicals like PPD, Ammonia, or Peroxide: Lustrous Henna is permanent because it is plant-based and its adherence to the hair takes place in a different manner than chemically-based dyes.
* Fading Over Time: While it won't wash out completely like a temporary dye, the color can gradually fade over time due to washing, sun exposure, and other environmental factors.
* Root Touch-Ups: Because it is permanent, you will need to touch up your roots as your hair grows out.
Factors Affecting Fading:
* Washing Frequency: The more frequently you wash your hair, the faster the dye might fade.
* Water Temperature: Hot water can cause the dye to fade faster than cool or lukewarm water.
* Sun Exposure: UV rays can contribute to fading.
* Hair Porosity: Porous hair tends to lose color faster than less porous hair.
* Hair Care Products: Some shampoos and conditioners can strip color. It's often recommended to use color-safe products.
Tips to Prolong Color:
* Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.
* Wash your hair less frequently.
* Use cooler water when washing.
* Protect your hair from the sun with a hat or UV protectant spray.
In summary: Lustrous Henna is a permanent hair dye and shouldn't completely wash out. However, you can expect some fading over time.
I hope this helps!
