Hair colour is not just a beauty choice; rather, it’s a way we express ourselves. A few use it to feel bold, others to feel fresh and confident, while some use it to cover their grays.
With so many types of hair colour in the market, picking out the right type of hair colour for you can be confusing. That’s why we’ve broken it down for you. This guide explains the main types of hair colour, what they do, and who they’re best for. Let’s find the colour that brings out the best in you.
At Kimera, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter beauty. Your hair should reflect your style, your vibe, and your pace of life. Let’s explore the colour types to help you find your fit:
Want a splash of fun without a long-term commitment? A temporary colour is your best friend. It coats the hair’s surface and rinses out in one or two washes. Perfect for parties, photoshoots, or spontaneous weekend vibe. (Just steer clear of white clothes immediately after—it may rub off.)
Looking to enrich your natural tone without making a huge leap? Semi-permanent colour adds warmth and dimension without ammonia. It fades gradually in about 10–12 washes. Soft mahogany, warm chestnut, or a subtle chocolate gloss work beautifully for a refreshed, natural look.
Need something longer-lasting but still low-commitment? Demi-permanent is a gentle middle ground. It blends grays, adds depth, and lasts around 20–28 washes. It doesn’t lighten, but it gives your hair that healthy, polished finish.
Not ready for an all-over colour? Highlights and lowlights are perfect for adding contrast and dimension. They make your hair look fuller, add movement, and bring life to your natural shade—without going all in.
Global colour gives you an even, seamless shade from roots to tips. Whether you want to refresh your base or try a completely new tone, this is a great way to make a clean, confident statement.
The best hair colour is one that complements your skin tone, your lifestyle choices, and the health of your hair. Here’s how to get it right:
The right hair shade can lift your whole face.
Pick a colour that balances your natural tones, it makes all the difference.
Some colours need more upkeep than others. If your calendar’s packed, go for balayage or soft highlights that grow gracefully. No pressure, no obvious roots.
If your strands are damaged or chemically treated, choose gentle options like ammonia-free or demi-permanent shades. Healthy hair holds colour better and feels softer, too.
Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide:
Hair colour isn’t just about changing how you look. It’s about feeling more like yourself or discovering a whole new side of you.
