This shade offers a deep, dark hue with subtle blue undertones, resulting in a raven-like appearance with a hint of vibrancy. It differs from permanent dyes as the pigments do not penetrate the hair shaft but rather coat it. This characteristic makes it a less damaging option and allows for easier color changes or removal over time, typically lasting between six to eight washes. An example of its use can be seen in the current trend of dark, almost-black hair colors with hidden dimension.
The temporary nature of this color makes it an attractive choice for those who like to experiment with their appearance without long-term commitment. It offers a low-risk way to explore fashion trends or express personal style. This type of hair color also fills a gap in the market for those who seek a less damaging alternative to permanent dyes, particularly individuals with pre-lightened or fragile hair. The rising popularity of this specific color reflects a broader cultural shift towards greater self-expression and individuality through hair.
