Do you know what a colored bathroom is ? Do you know the differences with a dye? Are you thinking of doing a coloring bath in your hairdressing salon ? In today’s post we give you all the keys about color baths and their advantages over traditional dyes.
colored bath vs. traditional dyes
Many times we consider dyeing our hair but we prefer not to have to resort to a lifelong dye . It is at that moment when we think about the possibility of applying color baths. But are they really effective? How long does this type of coloring last? Do they cover gray hair? Let’s go with the answers!
Color bathroom with dye and shades
The first thing you need to know is that a color bath is a type of dye that does not contain ammonia . That is the main difference with most traditional dyes. Hence, they are more careful with the hair and, at the same time, they are perfect for giving your hair more shine and filling it with vibrant reflections. Do you want to know more about ammonia-free coloration? Here we leave you a complete guide on what dyes are without ammonia, their results, benefits and durability .
Regarding the tones of a colored bath , the results we achieve are slightly different. With a color bath we will obtain some subtle tones, and if anything we will reach a maximum tone more or less than our color. On the other hand, with the dye we can achieve a more radical change.
What is it for
The color bath serves as a temporary solution to give your hair a new look. Unlike dyes, it acts in a simpler way, depositing a film that highlights your natural color , giving the color more shine and intensity.
Coloring bath: before and after
Therefore, if you are thinking of doing a color bath, you should know that the difference between before and after will depend on various factors. But, especially, of your color base. For example, in the case of gray hair , a color bath could cover you around 30% without the guarantee that this coverage will be maintained with washing. On the other hand, in the case of dyes, since they are permanent, we can obtain full coverage of gray hair .
A recurring question at this point is, how long does a color bath last? The normal thing is that it lasts up to 8 washes , so the key will be in the frequency with which you wash your hair and the products that you use later. Remember that at Tahe we have specialized products for dyed hair that can help you prolong the color and enhance the shine and softness of the hair.
Being a tone- on-tone coloration , it fades with washing and, for this reason, a color bath lasts less than classic dyes .
Types of color bath
If they do not serve to cover 100% gray hair, for whom are coloring baths recommended? For example, for those people who want to revive the color of their hair highlights or highlights, whether they are balayage or babylights .
They are also recommended for hair that has not been previously dyed, but in our case we have different direct pigmentations , which acts on chemically processed hair, that is, with dye, tone/tone, highlights, bleaching, permanent, contrasting color , super lightening and smoothing.

In this case, it will be ideal if we already have a blonde base, since – let’s remember – color baths only serve to illuminate or strengthen the tone of your hair.
