- ATemporary hair color
- BSemi-permanent hair color
- CPermanent hair color

Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Permanent hair color
Permanent hair color is designed to provide full gray coverage and lasting results by penetrating the hair shaft and altering its natural pigment.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Temporary hair colors only coat the hair surface and do not provide gray coverage.
- B. Semi-permanent colors fade with shampooing and offer minimal gray blending, not full coverage.
- D. Demi-permanent colors offer gray blending but typically not full gray coverage, and they fade over time.
Permanent Hair Color
Permanent hair color penetrates the hair shaft, alters natural pigment, and provides lasting color and full gray coverage.
- Mixes with hydrogen peroxide
- Lifts natural pigment and deposits new color
- Does not wash out, grows out
Memory trick: Permanent color is for lasting change, like a permanent marker on paper.
