How "permanent" is permanent hair color?

Permanent hair color is permanent, although it fades and of course it grows out. You will have to retouch the new growth at the scalp around every 6 weeks. I would go with a brand that specializes in covering grey hair, as it can be stubborn. The trick is to only color the new growth after the first application, or you will end up with drab muddy, overprocessed hair.

Most peoples hair grow at the average two inches every two and a half months. Right now you said you starting to show some gray hairs, so if i were you i would colour my hair the same colour as your natural colour is now. And than you wont have to die it again till you start seeing some more which will be a long time seeing as you wont be like a brunette dying their hair blond, because there natural colour is brown so even after a few weeks you will see it on her. But in your case your dying it the same colour as your natual hair colour. Unless you have all grey hair and nothing but grey hair coming from your roots than you will have to dye it every six to eight weeks. But if its just the odd one here and there, you wont have to die it for months and months. I would have to say about twice a year you would have to re touch it up..Trust me you will be happy you did it will look so good, and those greys will be gone. Even a semi permanent would work wonders for you too. Hope this helped :)

Permanent hair color is actually permanent- to the hair it is physically applied to. Any hair that grows AFTER you have applied the hair color will be it's natural color. Therefore, you would have to dye your roots as often as the regrowth becomes obvious. Most haircolor manufacturers recommend every six weeks. You could go longer if your hair grows slower or if your roots are not so different from your dyed color.
