Got2b color after treatment is a semi-permanent hair color designed to deposit vibrant color while conditioning hair. It lasts up to 30 washes and helps revitalize hair color between salon visits. Got2b after color is available in a wide range of fashion shades to allow you to try different hair colors without the damage of permanent dye.
How Got2b After Color Works
Got2b after color is a demi-permanent hair dye. It deposits color onto the hair’s cuticle, or outer layer, rather than penetrating the cortex the way permanent hair color does. This allows the color to wash out gradually over 4-6 weeks.
There are a few key benefits to using a demi-permanent hair color like Got2b after color:
- Less damage to hair – does not require developer so is gentler than permanent dye
- Easier to use – apply to clean, towel-dried hair and rinse after 5-30 minutes
- More temporary – fades gradually over 4-6 weeks
- Vibrant colors – available in bright fashion shades
- Can color over permanent dye – revives color treated hair
The ammonia-free formula helps condition hair while depositing color. Got2b after color also contains keratin to smooth and soften hair.
Got2b After Color Shade Range
Got2b after color comes in 12 different vibrant shades:
| Shade Name | Color Description |
|---|---|
| Lilac | Light purple |
| Amethyst | Dark purple |
| Azure | Blue |
| Jade | Green |
| Emerald | Teal green |
| Hot Pink | Vibrant pink |
| Purple Punk | Eggplant purple |
| Cherry Bomb | Deep red |
| Copper | Warm copper |
| Chocolate Cherry | Deep burgundy |
| Caramel | Warm brown |
| Lagoon | Blue green |
The colors are highly pigmented to show up vibrantly even on dark hair. Got2b recommends pre-lightening hair first to achieve the most vivid results on brunette or black hair.
How to Use Got2b After Color
Using Got2b after color is a simple at-home process:
- Shampoo and towel dry clean, product-free hair
- Apply the color cream evenly from roots to ends
- Wait 5-30 minutes depending on desired intensity
- Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear
- Apply the Got2b glossing serum for added conditioning
- Style as usual
No developer or mixing is required. The color develops as the cream saturates the hair over time. Leaving it on longer will result in more vibrant, longer lasting color.
Got2b recommends wearing the included gloves during application to avoid staining hands. Rinse skin or surfaces immediately if color comes into contact.
How Long Does Got2b After Color Last?
Got2b after color lasts for up to 30 washes, or around 4-6 weeks depending on your hair washing frequency. The color will fade progressively, becoming lighter over time rather than washing out abruptly.
There are a few factors that affect how quickly the color fades:
- Hair porosity – Color adheres best to hair with some porosity and lasts longer than glassy smooth hair.
- Shampooing – Frequent shampooing and hot water will accelerate fading.
- Sun exposure – Sunlight and pool water can cause the color pigments to break down faster.
- Hair condition – Healthy, conditioned hair better retains color.
To make the color last as long as possible:
- Shampoo less often, using cooler water
- Use a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo
- Apply a weekly conditioning hair mask
- Protect hair from sun exposure with a hat, scarf or styling products with UV filters
Reapplying the same shade of Got2b after color once it starts to fade can help prolong the vibrant color.
Mixing Got2b After Color Shades
The cream formulation makes it easy to mix Got2b after color shades to create custom hair color.
Some ideas for mixing shades:
- Add a bit of Hot Pink to Cherry Bomb for a bright, intense red
- Mix Jade and Azure for a mermaid teal shade
- Combine Chocolate Cherry and Caramel for a warm auburn
- Add Copper to Purple Punk for a unique mauve hue
When mixing shades, start by combining a pea size amount of each color before applying it to a small strand test area. Adjust the ratios as needed to achieve your perfect shade. Processing time remains the same when mixing.
Can You Bleach Hair After Using Got2b After Color?
It is best to wait 1-2 weeks after using Got2b after color before lightening or bleaching hair again. The pigment molecules can interact with lightener and cause uneven results if bleaching too soon after coloring.
To safely lighten hair after using a demi-permanent dye like Got2b after color:
- Wait at least 14 days for color to fade significantly
- Clarify hair with a deep cleansing shampoo before lightening
- Use a lower volume developer, around 20 volume
- Apply lightener quickly without lingering too long
- Tone hair after rinsing out lightener
- Deep condition hair after bleaching
Doing a strand test is also recommended to assess how much lightening occurs to the pre-colored hair before applying to your whole head.
Can You Dye Over Got2b After Color?
It is fine to apply permanent or semi-permanent hair dye overtop of Got2b after color. The existing demi-permanent color will not create a barrier. You can simply color directly over the old shade.
There are a couple tips for coloring after using a demi-permanent dye:
- Wait 2-3 days after your last shampoo with color before applying permanent dye. Less faded color means better results.
- Opt for a darker or similar shade. Lightening with permanent color is trickier.
- Use 10 volume developer to be gentle.
- Do an allergy test even if you have colored before.
The Got2b after color does not need to be completely faded before dyeing over it. Often the old shade will impact the final results. For example, dyeing reddish brown hair with a golden brown permanent color may result in a subtle auburn look.
Conclusion
Got2b after color delivers damage-free, temporary hair color in a range of fun, fashionable shades. The demi-permanent formula gently deposits color for results lasting 4-6 weeks. It can be mixed to create custom shades and allows you to easily test drive different hair colors. Follow the tips above for maximizing the durability of the vibrant color. Touch up roots as needed and enjoy revitalized hair color between permanent dye jobs.
