Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Permanent hair color
Permanent hair color is ideal for clients with gray hair and those desiring a vibrant, long-lasting color because it penetrates the hair shaft and changes the natural pigment, providing maximum gray coverage and durability.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Demi-permanent hair color blends gray hair but does not provide 100% gray coverage and fades over time.
- B. Temporary hair color only coats the hair surface and washes out quickly, offering no gray coverage and poor vibrancy.
- D. Semi-permanent hair color lasts through several shampoos but does not provide complete gray coverage or long-lasting vibrancy.
