Kestoväreissä

Kestoväreissä, often translated as "permanent colors" or "lasting colors," refers to hair coloring techniques and products designed to achieve a color that is not easily washed out. Unlike temporary or semi-permanent dyes, which deposit color onto the hair shaft or fade after a few washes, kestoväreissä penetrate the hair cuticle and alter the hair's natural pigment.

This process typically involves an alkaline agent, such as ammonia or an ammonia-free alternative, which opens the hair cuticle, and an oxidizing agent, like hydrogen peroxide, which works with the color molecules to penetrate the hair shaft and create a new, permanent color. The result is a color change that lasts until the hair grows out or is subsequently colored.

Kestoväreissä are commonly used for achieving significant color transformations, covering gray hair, or achieving vibrant, long-lasting shades. While offering durability, they also require a more careful application and can be more damaging to the hair if not used correctly. Aftercare, including using color-safe shampoos and conditioners, is crucial for maintaining the vibrancy of kestoväreissä and the health of the hair. The process of applying kestoväreissä is often done by professional hairdressers, although home-use kits are widely available.
