Which statement about semi-permanent color's retouch requirements is true?

• A. Retouch is required
• B. Retouch is not required
• C. Retouch is optional
• D. Retouch is required only for gray hair

Answer: (B)

Semi-permanent color sits on the cuticle and fades with washing without lifting the natural pigment, so there isn’t a new regrowth line to retouch. Because it doesn’t change the base color at the roots, a separate retouch isn’t required; you’ll refresh the shade across the whole head if needed, rather than touching up just the roots. This is different from permanent color, where retouching the roots is typically necessary to maintain uniform color.
