Hair Tinting in Wyong

Hair tint typically lasts between four to six weeks, depending on several factors such as hair type, the condition of the hair, the product used and how often the hair is washed. Unlike permanent colour, tinting uses a lower concentration of ammonia or none at all, which makes it a gentler option that gradually fades over time rather than growing out with a visible line. Using colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, avoiding heat styling and washing hair with cooler water can help extend the life of a tint. Regular maintenance appointments are recommended to refresh colour and cover regrowth.

The terms "tint" and "dye" are often used interchangeably, but there are some technical differences. A hair tint is usually a semi-permanent or demi-permanent colour that gradually fades and requires more frequent touch-ups. It’s ideal for enhancing natural tones, covering early greys or trying a subtle colour change without full commitment. Hair dye, on the other hand, often refers to permanent colour that penetrates the hair shaft and provides long-lasting results. While tints are gentler on the hair, permanent dyes typically offer more dramatic changes and full grey coverage, but they may also involve more chemical processing.

After tinting your hair, proper care is key to maintaining colour vibrancy and overall hair health. Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoos and conditioners to avoid stripping the colour prematurely. Try to wash your hair less frequently—two to three times a week is ideal—and always use cool to lukewarm water. Minimise heat styling when possible, or use a thermal protectant if styling is necessary. Regular deep conditioning treatments can help maintain moisture and softness. To keep your tint looking fresh, book touch-up appointments every four to six weeks, depending on your hair's growth and how quickly the colour fades.
