Prepare to be dazzled as we unravel the magical world of hair colouring techniques. From temporary to permanent, there's something for everyone in this colourful tapestry: 

Temporary Hair Colouring Techniques: 

Chalking: Picture this – you, armed with coloured chalk sticks, adding playful streaks of colour to your locks. It's like art class for your hair! Quick, easy, and totally low-maintenance – what's not to love? 

Coloured Hairspray: Say hello to instant colour with zero commitment! A quick spritz of coloured hairspray, and voila – you're rocking a new hue. Perfect for those spontaneous moments of hair flair. 

Semi-permanent Colouring Techniques:  

Not ready to commit to a lifelong love affair with a particular shade? Semi-permanent colour is your BFF. It lasts longer than temporary methods but fades away like a gentle whisper after 6-8 weeks. Hello, versatility! 

Permanent Hair Colouring Techniques: 

Ready for a long-term commitment? Enter permanent hair colouring – the OG of colour transformations. Say goodbye to root touch-ups and hello to a bold, new you! 

Single Process Colour: 

The go-to for a classic colour overhaul. One shade, one mission – to give your hair a whole new lease on life. It's like hitting the reset button for your locks! 

Highlights/Lowlights: 

Light, camera, action! Highlights and lowlights add depth and dimension to your mane, giving it that enviable sun-kissed glow. It's like adding a touch of magic to your hair – one foil at a time.
