This is why they can be easily washed out of the hair. 2 Semipermanent haircolor only partially penetrates the cuticle layer, and thus, like a temporary haircolor, it can fade as the color is washed out. 3 Henna is considered a natural haircolor because it is obtained from the leaves of a plant. Natural haircolors are not typically used in salons. 4 Metallic, also known as progressive, are haircolors containing metal salts that change hair color gradually by gradual buildup and exposure to air.
