    Add Special Effects under the bright colors. Also Paul Mitchell InkWorks under the brights too and Framesi FramColor Passion comes in a few natural shades. It is mixed with the Milky Mask "Developer" but is not a peroxide based dye. Goldwell also has a temporary color foam mousse that lasts much less than the Elumen.

    Great list!

    I don't color anymore, but when I did, I was a HUGE fan of Robert Craig. No damage or brassiness, and NO SMELL or mess when applying. Highly recommended!

    Thanks for your experience Unofficial Rose

    Thanks kwaniesiam, I actually forgot about the mousse colours! There is Goldwell, Schwarzkopf and lots of others.

    turtlelover: Robert Craig is a bit controversial as to whether it's non damaging as you have to mix it with water. There are other colours like this (such as Atlantis water colours) and I have read that they release a small amount of peroxide when water is added. The list I have is only about the hair colours that you don't mix with anything at all.

    For truly temporary colors, there are also those Fanciful rinses. They're only supposed to last til the next wash.

    Thanks Anje, that's still a semi colour, so I'll include it

    You're welcome knoxkatie. I was looking for a long time for somewhere that could list/recommend true semi colours. I could not find anything, so I thought it would be useful to have a list here!

    I like this thread a lot!

    I've been using Natural Instincts because it makes my hair feel really nice (I've used a lot of box dyes and Sally's brand dye, and I've never had such soft hair after coloring...and the conditioner is amazing, too) and it doesn't seem to cause much damage. Would you happen to know if it has a low level of peroxide?

    I ask 'cause my hair is growing so fast right now that I might have to start coloring every 2 weeks rather than once a month, which is why I've kinda been looking into direct deposit dyes. If I'm going to be coloring that often, I think looking for something that doesn't lift the cuticle at all might be a smarter option than what I use now, but I don't know. I'm really looking into Clariol's "Loving Care" dyes, because it'd be easy to match my shade ^^

    Wonderful thread! I have been looking for a way to avoid damage, grow out my henndigo, and (in the long run) go back to my natural hair, and I so wanted a way to do so without damage and avoiding the worst of the 2-tone look! Some of these dyes (Elumen in particular) look great for this, and I will certainly be reading up on them in more detail! Rini you are a

    maborosi, I'm glad you're getting good results from Natural Instincts. As you know, it's not a true semi (in that it is mixed with a developer and does contain peroxide and/or ammonia in some amounts) which is why I have not included it here. If you are considering dyeing your hair quite often, then I would strongly recommend finding a good semi (ie direct dye). Repeatedly dyeing your hair with any dye that requires a developer (no matter how gentle or nice it makes your hair feel) is doing damage to your hair.

    Evie: aww...shucks Have fun researching. There are many good reviews to read out there (makeupalley, amazon, iherb, ciao, behindthechair....)

    Clairol Loving Care-but I don't know if you can get it outside of the States.
    Also, it's been discontinued. I used it years and years ago-it's a semi-permanent non damaging dye. I think the professional counterpart is the Clairol Beautiful collection as you first mentioned. Loving Care you can get for $5.00 in a drugstore.
