Is permanent brown less damaging than blonde Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Hair Talk Forum Name: Hair Color Forum Description: The tricks and tribulations of changing your hair color URL: https://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=47435 Printed Date: October 05 2025 at 1:55am Topic: Is permanent brown less damaging than blonde Posted By: cinderella Subject: Is permanent brown less damaging than blonde Date Posted: October 09 2006 at 1:54am Just wondering if there is any difference between colouring hair permanent blonde or brown. I know permanents strip the colour and then replace it. So is it just as bad to dye hair brown as blonde? Thanks Replies: Posted By: Susan W Date Posted: October 09 2006 at 8:09am If going a darker shade, you should only use a 10 volume developer max.  If going lighter to blonde, you may need to either bleach, or use a higher volume of developer, like 20, 30 or even 40 (depending on how light blonde you want, and how dark your natural hair is....its best to use the lowest volume you can get away with and still get what you want).  Higher volumes of developer lighten the hair, and they contain more peroxide to do so, which is more damaging.  So, if you use the lowest volume of developer you can when you go brown, yes, its better for the hair if you go brown. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com
