Can I go from using permanent hair color back to semi-permanent?

Question

I used to use Natural Instincts semi-permanent hair dye and I really liked it because I never had a root problem the color would just fade out. I switched to using a permanent one and now I have roots growing out and they are so ugly. I was wondering if I could dye my hair with permanent color back to my natural color and then immediately use the Natural Instincts to get it back to the color I like? Then the brown permanent dye would be close to my natural and the natural instincts semi permanent would work the way that it used to . Would this work?

Answer 1

let it grow out, don't look in the mirror, it will just keep upsetting you.

Answer 2

I did the same thing you did. Yes you can switch back to the semi-permanent but it will take awhile for the permanent hair color to grow out and your roots may still show in the mean time, unfortunatly there is nothing you can do but stick with using the semi-permanent until the permanent color has grown and been cut off. Depending on how fast your hair grows and how often you cut your hair it could take up to a year for this to happen. Good Luck.
